This is a pretty fascinating read overall.
tldr Ishan Wahi was a PM on the asset listing team at Coinbase and was leaking the asset list to two friends. After a big asset listing of "dozens of assets" went live a popular crypto Twitter account noticed a single wallet purchased hundreds of thousands of dollars of the tokens the day before. Coinbase took notice and Ishan Wahi attempted to flee to India but was apprehended.
