You are putting the burden of proof on an individual with no information access to coinbases operations. At the court of public opinion (or consumer opinion in this case), the appearance of corruption is enough to condemn.
Its pretty clear something happened because there was quite a commotion hours before it happened, which means market makers knew it was coming. I have documented message sbefore the coinbase announcement that something weird was going on, and so has the community. Not only that, coinbase gave the appearance of neutrality when it deliberately lied on release date and scope of release. For what purpose but to take advantage of the information arbitrage.
Coinbase sold its users today and as a portion of the community has been vocal about, I recommend leaving coinbase to another exchange that hasn't proven to screw over their users.
