Imagine, if you will, a tale as intricate and as convoluted as a spider’s web woven in the dead of night. This is the story of Jesse Powell, co-founder of Kraken, a man who, according to some, has a knack for stirring up more trouble than a mischievous cat in a porcelain shop. The Federal Bureau of Investigation, those paragons of law and order, decided to close their file on Mr. Powell, much to the chagrin of his accusers and the amusement of the rest of us.
The accusations, oh how they do fly! Powell was alleged to have trespassed upon the sacred grounds of the Verge Center for the Arts, a nonprofit organization he had the audacity to co-found back in 2008. It seems that some of his former colleagues found his behavior less than artistic and more than a bit menacing. Yet, despite the FBI’s best efforts, the Department of Justice, in a move shrouded in mystery, decided to let this particular chapter of Powell’s life come to a close without further ado. Powell, ever the denier of wrongdoings, swiftly retaliated with a civil suit against the very board members who dared to challenge him.
Now, one might wonder, what does a crypto mogul’s legal tussle have to do with politics? Well, my dear reader, prepare yourself for a twist as delightful as a lemon drop. Powell, in a bold and somewhat unexpected move, donated a cool $1 million worth of Ethereum (ETH) to none other than the campaign of Donald Trump, the 2024 presidential candidate. And wouldn’t you know it, the FBI and the DOJ, now led by Trump’s loyal appointees, have seen fit to close the book on Powell’s case. Coincidence? I think not! π€
But wait, there’s more! Kraken, Powell’s beloved brainchild, was not immune to the prying eyes of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Last year, the SEC accused Kraken of operating without the necessary registration, a serious offense in the world of finance. However, in a turn of events that could only be described as a breath of fresh air for the crypto community, the case was dismissed under the watchful eye of Acting Chair Mark Uyeda. The SEC, it seems, is taking a more relaxed approach to crypto regulation, much to the relief of many and the suspicion of others.
