Norwegian conman Christen Ager-Hanssen has had his UK bankruptcy extended indefinitely, according to the insolvency register.
Ager-Hanssen, who was bankrupted in August of last year after reputedly trying to delay proceedings, claiming he needed more time to pay his debts, while at the same time flouncing around Scandinavia still claiming to be Norway’s richest man…
Ager-Hanssen had been taken to court by his former employer, crypto company nChain where he had been appointed CEO the previous year. After failing to bring in any investment into the company, he realised his time was running out and instead launched a plot as audacious as it was ridiculous.
In October 2023, he tried and failed to launch a coup at nChain, which led to him stealing data from the company. NChain took him to court to recover the stolen data and have him pay for the costs of doing so.
When Ager-Hanssen failed to return the data or pay up, he was declared bankrupt on the 19th August 2024.
Ager-Hanssen’s house in Norway was raided by the police in an attempt to recover the stolen data. This process and the resulting unpaid costs led Ager-Hanssen to be bankrupted in his native Norway.
It is understood he is currently hiding in Sweden, licking his wounds after a failed attempt to blackmail executives at Norion bank.
In the UK, bankruptcies are usually discharged one year later. For reasons unknown, Ager-Hanssen’s discharge has been suspended indefinitely…
