A major cryptocurrency exchange is trolling the New York attorney general

It probably wasn't the smartest move. 

Roughly 24 hours after a major report from the New York state attorney general's office led officials to declare that the cryptocurrency exchange Kraken is "possibly operating unlawfully in New York," the exchange apparently decided the best response was to thumb its nose at state officials.

In a series of tweets from both the official Kraken Twitter account and the company's co-founder and CEO, Jesse Powell, the San Francisco-based exchange made it clear that it's not taking this report seriously — at all.
