He is apparently BAM CEO (B) of the SEC’s Binance lawsuit [0], and also worked at Coinbase (to setup compliance) [1]. I was reading up on his activities on his wiki page and rather impressed. Was a comptroller of the Currency for a while in 2020, too. He’s still sitting on the board of another company that’s in block chains (BitFury [2] does infrastructure) and apparently a lot of “vision” related stuff [3]
