Folks watching please realize our population is so massive (1.4 billion people) that even 3% of folks doing this, or being creeps represents a figure as big 42 Million -- That's larger than Canada's entire population for reference.

One method that companies successfully have used in the past is self-regulation. This is like self-regulation foreplay. Kraken wants to appear on the side of victims, not as the ambivalent facilitators of illegal activity.

    I like that you talk about security with centralised exchanges and why they exist. You see so many people on Reddit complaining about having their accounts locked and then when you dig into most of them it’s because they’re sending money to or from a shady wallet, buying things online etc. Often it seems like unnecessary FUD for exchanges but people don’t understand these security measures need to exist to keep customers using the service.

    We love you man, thanks for all you do to shut these losers down. Many of them scream scammer the minute they speak, some of the others are far more convincing...
