kraken is owned by payward which is a UK business https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/ltd/payward https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/ltd/payward Their bank is German. I don't think it is a US business. Oh wait, maybe yes: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1rztum/release_the_kraken_part_2/cdsjrcu http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1rztum/release_the_... CEO is Jesse Powell. Company address is in San Francisco

Ah well their site contact office is US so I just assumed. Good correction - parent companies are important in the world of bitcoin.

This is incorrect - I suppose we should make this clearer on our site. For the record: Kraken is owned and operated by Payward. Payward's parent company is a US company. The Payward entity in the UK is one of many overseas entities that we have across half a dozen jurisdictions already, and that number is growing... particularly here in Asia.

  Among the coin traders I know, no one is at all clear on where you're based. You definitely need to be a lot more obvious about it. :-)

    The coin traders you know need to get better info. They are based in SF and Jesse can be usually found at the SF Bitcoin Meetup.
