Jesse Powell, CEO of crypto exchange Kraken, has called out United States financial regulators for letting “the bad guys” win to suit their agenda.

In a Feb. 19 Twitter thread, Powell speculated that U.S. regulators — seemingly including the Securities and Exchange Commission — were allowing crypto firms to operate without enforcement actions as a red herring for companies that are their true targets. According to the Kraken CEO, allowing bad actors to “suck up users, revenue and venture capital” available to firms operating in accordance with regulations could effectively destroy the industry — letting competition run over each other and having regulators jail violators later.
