Crypto界消息，一名 Coinbase shareholder filed a derivative lawsuit against several executives and board members in the company’s name, accusing them of failing to oversee compliance and information disclosure, which exposed the company to legal and regulatory consequences. The lawsuit was filed on Tuesday in the U.S. District Court in New Jersey, naming CEO Brian Armstrong, co-founder Fred Ehrsam, and several current and former directors and executives, including Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal and Chief Financial Officer Alesia Haas. The lawsuit alleges that the defendants made false or misleading statements from April 2021 to June 2023, leading Coinbase to face regulatory enforcement actions. In early 2023, Coinbase settled with the New York State Department of Financial Services for $100 million over deficiencies in its anti-money laundering compliance program and was fined $5 million by the New Jersey Bureau of Securities for offering unregistered securities. The lawsuit seeks damages on behalf of Coinbase, corporate governance reforms, and recovery of compensation and profits obtained by insiders during the period of compliance issues.
