The FBI's investigation into Kraken founder Jesse Powell was based on allegations that he had hacked and cyber-stalked Verge Center for the Arts, a nonprofit he founded—not anything related to Kraken or crypto activities.

The dispute was an internal conflict with Verge’s management over access to organizational accounts like Slack and Google, and not about financial wrongdoing or hacking in the cryptocurrency sector—Powell has consistently denied the nonprofit’s allegations, leading to separate civil litigation between him and Verge’s board members.
