That is barely scratching the surface. I remember reports on reddit of people buying newly listed crypto assets in advance. That was in ~2016 and they didn't even try to hide.

Or how about Litecoin's creator who worked for Coinbase and lobbied for Litecoin to get added to the exchange?

Litecoin was the third cryptocurrency to be added, and it was the most obvious choice to be next, seeing as how it had the next highest market cap after Bitcoin and Ethereum. Before Ethereum was a thing, Litecoin spent a lot of time as the #2 cryptocurrency. It was the original "altcoin". There was already massive demand to add Litecoin, which is probably a key reason that they hired Charlie in the first place.
