Two former employees of American crypto exchange Coinbase has been hired by social media giant Facebook with at least one of them will be involved with the blockchain effort.

Jeff Cartwright is a former Coinbase employee which he served 5 years in various compliance roles, now he will be the policy and compliance manager at Facebook according to his LinkedIn profile.

On the other hand Mikheil Moucharrafie also joined Facebook as a compliance officer for blockchain after serving Coinbase for 5 years in various capacities.

These new hires may prove valuable as their project has began getting attention from Washington who seem to be interested to knowing more about the secretive crypto project.

As it stands the blockchain/crypto initiative began last year with David Marcus, vice president and former Coinbase board member as its head.

Since then the company has been augmenting its blockchain team with hires of different expertise, notable of this is crypto economist Christian Catalini, a researcher with MIT.
