‘Obviously I don’t think women are any less intelligent than men,’ Kraken CEO says, after New York Times report said he called American women ‘brainwashed’
Jesse Powell, co-founder and chief executive at crypto exchange Kraken, has responded to a recent New York Times article that said he started a “culture war” within the company as he questioned the use of preferred pronouns, debated who could use racial slurs and called American women “brainwashed.”

The New York Times reported Wednesday that Powell, in an April discussion in one of the company’s internal Slack groups, said that the debate over women’s mental abilities was unsettled, and “most American ladies have been brainwashed in modern times.”
