Former nChain Group CEO Christen Ager-Hanssen has left the company after claiming to have uncovered a “conspiracy to defraud nChain shareholders orchestrated by an important shareholder.” Hanssen said he no longer believed that nChain chief scientist Craig Wright was Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto. Hanssen later released a screenshot of a report that claimed to show evidence of Wright’s browsing history, which is consistent with Wright’s long-standing claims that he is. Satoshi’s statement is contradictory. Hanssen also claimed that he, along with five others, submitted a whistleblower report to the nChain board of directors, after which all six were fired or suspended. Hanssen said he plans to release the report on the influence of billionaire Calvin Ayre on nChain’s operations, whom Hanssen calls a “shadow director/dictator.” nChain’s board of directors said in a statement that concerns about recent business management led the board to commission a detailed independent investigation. Before the board could act on the results of the investigation, Hanssen acted in a serious and inappropriate manner, which prompted his dismissal.
