Coinbase shareholders filed a lawsuit in Delaware accusing executives and investors, including CEO Brian Armstrong and board member Marc Andreessen, of hiding the company's KYC and anti-money laundering compliance failures, data breach risks, and regulatory investigations for years while selling $4.20 billion worth of company stock at inflated prices.
The plaintiffs allege that Coinbase knew as early as January that hackers had obtained sensitive user information through a third-party customer service provider, but did not disclose the data breach until May. Shareholders are not only seeking billions of dollars in compensation, but also board seats and greater influence over company policy. Coinbase last month announced plans to move its headquarters from Delaware to cryptocurrency-friendly Texas.
