This is definitely ridiculous. The loss of value was not on the fault of Coinbase, but the result of market swings.

If you delay orders due to your fault (no matter if it's liquidity, intentional, technical or whatever) then you're liable for the market swings of the delayed good.

Sure, but the question is: if Coinbase placed the order today, that suggests they kept the ~12k loss for themselves. Is that rightful profit?
