    He’s very smart in some ways and I don’t think he would do something crazy again if he were freed from jail. I heard the judge thought otherwise.

    All crypto projects need suspension from investors, and this NameChain seems a divisional option, that will affect ENS price. Maybe NameChain should be integral to ENS, so owning ENS, you get part ownership of NameChain.
