Summary

  • The U.S. Government has taken the initiative of sentencing Chastain to three months in prison after taking part in insider NFT trading.

Chastain Trades NFTs That Are Yet To Be Released From OpenSea

Chastain is the former manager at OpenSea. He has been detained for having acquired information on the incoming non-fungible tokens which he used for his financial gains.

The U.S. prosecutors have warned institutional traders that such deeds will not be tolerated and that Chastain’s sentence just goes to show. Chastain got access to Opensea’s market insights and using this information, he went ahead and bought NFTs before they were featured.

Through this act, he managed to earn more than 50,000$. Burnett, a prosecutor in a court that took place in May,  said that he lied to ensure his acts would not be traced back to him. A user named Zuwu on X (formerly Twitter) asked Opensea the reason why Nathaniel Chastain had NFTs that had not been featured in the market yet.

The Opensea finally released a statement acknowledging Chastain’s acts and will be restructuring its firm.
