Brock Pierce
WatchSerial crypto entrepreneur; co-founder of Tether and Block.one
Brock Pierce was a child actor in the Mighty Ducks films, then built businesses trading virtual game currency, and became a co-founder of Tether and of Block.one, the company behind EOS, as well as chairman of the Bitcoin Foundation.
No convictions. His pre-crypto company Digital Entertainment Network collapsed in 2000 amid civil suits alleging misconduct involving minors; those suits were settled or withdrawn and no criminal charges followed, but the episode is permanently attached to his name. His role in Tether's founding also draws scrutiny given that company's later regulatory history.
No disputes, investigations or legal matters have been documented yet.
