🔔Odaily Planet Daily Hot News! Christen Ager-Hanssen, former CEO of nChain, was sentenced to 10 months in prison in the UK High Court for leaking documents that exposed Craig Wright. 🔒 The court found that Ager-Hanssen violated multiple court orders, including deleting leaked documents, disclosing recipients, and handing over related equipment.
📂The leaked document is the Fairway Brief, which involves Craig Wright's false statement of impersonating Satoshi and accusing Calvin Ayre and others of planning a "criminal conspiracy" to take over nChain intellectual property at a low price. The court regarded Ager-Hanssen's non-compliance with the order as an attempt to undermine the authority of the court and nChain's confidentiality request, so the 10-month and 4-month sentences were combined, and he is expected to be released in five months.
😮Ager-Hanssen plans to appeal, and the British whistleblower organization Whistleblowers UK supports his appeal, pointing out that the British whistleblower law is out of touch with justice and fails to effectively protect whistleblowers. This incident once again sparked heated discussions on blockchain industry regulation and intellectual property protection. 🔥
