"Kraken" is a DBA name for Payward Ventures, Inc, incorporated in Delaware in October 2013.
They are
registered with FinCen. But that just means they filled out the form.
They are not known to Dun and Bradstreet or Find the Company. Their SSL cert is from a hosting company, Cloudflare.
Their street address that they gave to FinCen is
548 Market Street #39656, San Francisco, CA, 94104.That address is
a mail drop, "Earth Class Mail". This is the
same mail drop place that Tradehill used before they shut down. That's a bit suspicious.
Persons said be associated with Kraken: Jesse Powell, CEO. Michael Gronager, COO. Constance Choi, general counsel.
Constance Choi has a reasonable reputation. She's an licensed attorney in California and works for Kirkland & Ellis, which is a major law firm.
