Former OpenSea exec sentenced to prison for insider trading

  • The director bought 45 NFTs in June-September 2021 with various anonymous wallets prior to the sale.
  • He then sold them for over $50,000.

A federal judge sentenced former OpenSea product manager Nathaniel Chastain to prison for insider trading on the non-fungible token [NFT] platform, announced the United States Department of Justice on August 22.

U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said the court sentenced Chastain to three months in prison, three months of house arrest and three years of supervised release. The court also fined him $50,000 and ordered him to surrender ill-gotten Ethereum [ETH] of NFT sales.

Chastain was accused of insider trading during his stint with OpenSea. As product manager, he had the power to select the NFTs to be listed on the OpenSea platform. In June-September 2021, he purchased 45 NFTs using various anonymous wallets before adding these NFTs on the selling platform. He then sold them for over $50,000.

The US authorities charged and arrested Chastain in June 2022. A jury found him guilty of bank fraud and money laundering in May 2023. The final court order will most likely bring the case to an end.

The judge added that while the crime amounted to harsher sentences, Chastain’s sentence is lenient because he has not earned extraordinary income from the sale.

US Attorney Damian Williams said:

“Nathanial Chastain was brought to court today for breaching the trust placed in him by his employer by using OpenSea’s confidential information for his own gain. Today’s ruling should serve as a warning to other company insiders that insider trading – in any market – will not be tolerated.”
