Venture Capitalist Kristin Ager-Hansen Departs from nChain, Citing Shareholder Fraud Conspiracy
Venture capitalist Kristin Ager-Hansen has announced his departure from nChain, a Web 3 solutions provider. Ager-Hansen claims there is a conspiracy to defraud nChain shareholders, which led him to step down as CEO with immediate effect.
The Allegations and Doubts
In a social media post, Ager-Hansen accused an unnamed major shareholder of orchestrating the conspiracy. He also expressed doubts about the legitimacy of the DW Discovery Fund, a licensed open-ended fund specializing in disruptive technology.
Furthermore, Ager-Hansen cast doubt on Australian businessman Craig Wright’s claim to be the pseudonymous founder of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto.
Loss of Support for Wright
Ager-Hansen previously believed Wright’s claims and even showed support in a 2022 post. However, he now claims to be convinced that Wright is not Satoshi. Ager-Hansen cited evidence of doctored documents presented in court to back his claim.
