Strange, LinkedIn shows staff of 500+ https://www.linkedin.com/company/krakenfx/ and the press-release mentioned "1,100 people, or 30 percent". Number do not add up.

LinkedIn is not an authoritative source lol

Kraken regularly used shell/cover companies to hire employees. They have a pretty complex web of fronts not-called-Kraken. Entire offices are 'employed' by one of these companies.

Would you be able to expand on this? Why do they do that? Sounds shady.

[suh_dude]

Interesting, why would they do this?

To avoid people being targeted because they work at a crypto exchange.

As one example: in the US, employers with more than 100 employees have to give 60 days notice of layoffs of a certain size. Outsource customer service to small, closely held subcontractors and you can avoid the requirement.

It's ridiculous that you can circumvent the rules that easily.

LinkedIn showed ~3400 for them when I checked a few days ago, so 1,100 is approximately 30%.

Kraken doesn't want their employees to mark that they work there on social media to reduce the risk of social hacking.

[tedunangst]

Maybe they have employees who are not on LinkedIn.

Did someone see your comment and change it? I see "3,400+ Krakenites" and "1,001-5,000 employees".
