Erik Voorhees, the founder and CEO of “instant” cryptocurrency exchange ShapeShift.io, recently informed his followers (via Twitter) that his company decided to share how many disclosure requests they’ve received from law enforcement. Voorhees, who is the founder and one of the previous owners of Satoshi Dice, a bitcoin (BTC) gambling website, noted that US-based crypto exchange, Kraken had “inspired [his firm] to convey similar transparency in law enforcement requests.” As CryptoGlobe reported on January 6th, Kraken’s management had received 475 disclosure requests from regulators during 2018. Most of the requests had reportedly come from authorities in the US, UK, and Japan.
