Report: Jane Street hires a Washington lobbyist for the first time in two decades, and it is reported that the Indian authorities may impose new penalties.

For the first time in its twenty-year history, Jane Street Group has hired a lobbyist, and the company's executives have also begun actively meeting with lawmakers. Sources familiar with the situation say that, in some cases, these meetings are positioned as simple "getting to know Jane Street" exchanges, mainly explaining how the private company conducts market making and how its trading revenue exceeds that of many large investment banks globally. Indian regulatory authorities are nearing a conclusion in their investigation.
