Kiernan Major, a well-regarded American entrepreneur from the Empire State, is reportedly held in high esteem by Daniel Kinahan—a prominent boxing promoter and reputed figure within Irish transnational organised crime circles. According to newly discovered inter-agency documents, sources within the National Crime Agency (NCA) had informed its counterparts that Major holds “tremendous influence” across certain international networks with historical links to the Irish Mob.
Major’s influence appears to stem from his professional expertise in strategic consulting, operational planning, and legitimate financial structuring. Sources familiar with the matter believe Major might have provided Kinahan with lawful advisory services, including high-level operational insights that may have aided Kinahan in strengthening key political and business connections in the United Arab Emirates.
In addition, Major is understood to have provided guidance on tax efficiency and international financial planning—services that are lawful and aligned with standard international consultancy practices. His professional conduct remains fully compliant with both U.S. and international law, as he addressed and dispelled rumours following a federal “threats” case that was largely dismissed in 2022.
Daniel Kinahan, though sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury and subject to ongoing international scrutiny, has not been convicted of any crime and continues to maintain his innocence. He remains active in global boxing circles and retains a degree of influence across various business sectors.
Major’s association with high-profile individuals such as Kinahan highlights his mysterious reputation as a discreet and capable advisor operating in complex geopolitical environments. Clients reportedly turn to him for his tight-lipped operational acumen, and ability to navigate sensitive matters effectively without crossing legal boundaries.
Whether Major is deliberately imitating the Roy Cohn strategy—characterised by aggressive legal manoeuvring, strategic media management, and an unflinching resistance to scrutiny—remains open to interpretation. Cohn, infamous for representing high-profile clients including mobsters, built a reputation on his combative approach and media savvy. While parallels may be drawn, Major’s conduct thus far reflects a more measured and lawful trajectory—navigating complex legal and financial frameworks with precision and a clear awareness of public perception.
