A UK judge has destroyed Christen Ager-Hanssen’s claim to be a whistleblower as “reverse engineered” and “entirely without substance” in a judgement handed down earlier last week.
The absolutely damning 80+ page judgement comes after a UK employment tribunal, brought by Ager-Hanssen’s gormless cling-ons David Brookes and Andy Moody, attempted to retrospectively claim they were all whistleblowers, following their failed coup attempt at nChain, which we first broke the story on several years ago.
Like everyone groomed and used by Ager-Hanssen to further his own agenda, they have been left to pick up the pieces of his chaos, and are now facing a bill in excess of a million pounds in legal fees as well as a perjury referral after their lies were demolished during the tribunal. They risk joining CAH and Lars Jacob Bo on the run in multiple jurisdictions from law enforcement.
Employment Judge Baty concluded that Ager-Hanssen was an impatient bully “used to getting his own way and that he was not averse to shouting at staff or reducing them to tears” and that his “personality and modus operandi is very much at the heart of this case, as is the fact that many of those lieutenants, including MrMoody and Mr Brookes, were prepared to go along with him.”
Ager-Hanssen groomed Moody by increasing his salary and bonus by £95k, effectively buying his loyalty. He brought in a number of goons from his other businesses Custos/Addreax, including his own son who never did any work for the company, despite his dad paying him over £200k a year.
After buying Moody’s loyalty, Ager-Hanssen began making him put fake numbers in the reports which went to company executives, showing revenue Ager-Hanssen was claiming to be bringing in to the business, which never existed. Judge Baty obliterated Moody for this, saying it went against the accounting principles he knew he was bound by, effectively obliterating any future career he might have in accounting over.
The tribunal revealed how Ager-Hanssen and Brookes conspired for weeks on their bullshit conspiracy report, despite the fact they knew all of the allegations within it to be false and had in-fact agreed and signed the terms of the contract themselves weeks prior. They also drafted pre-agreed minutes of a meeting to take place int he subsequent weeks, which they would use as a springboard for their coup.
On the night of the 26th September 2023, along with scumbag Zafar Ali KC, other group executives were summoned to a boozy meeting at Ager-Hanssen’s office during which they were told by Ali they now had three choices; “carry on as usual and become part of the conspiracy; secondly,to resign; or thirdly, to sign the minutes”.
Believing Ali, after-all who is a Kings Counsel, many agreed to the plan. In the judgement it was concluded Ali’s “advice was designed to promote Mr Ager-Hanssen’s desired agenda, of getting his “chosen few” to subscribe to his allegations there and then and sign the Minutes.”
After polishing off the champagne at 2 am, the group retired before launching their coup the next morning. According to the ruling, a junior IT employee refused to hand over access to emails and data contained on the nChain servers leading to Ager-Hanssen roping in Zafar Ali on a conference call, during which the employee was told “that he would be breaking the law if he did not do what Mr Ager-Hanssen told him, and that this was a legal issue that could involve criminal proceedings.”
The judges found this astounding, and stated it was “oppressive and manifestly improper behaviour, being meted out to a relatively junior member of staff, which [Andy] Moody would or ought to have appreciated.”
After refusing to hand over access, the employee’s line manager was hauled into the board room for a showdown with Ager-Hanssen and Ali, which was captured on CCTV. The judge describes what occurred in the footage, stating the line manager “was abused, threatened and intimidated. Mr Ager-Hanssen’s behaviour in particular was bullying and extremely aggressive and frankly verging on the deranged.”
While CAH and the Custos gang were bullying nChain staff, Moody decided to take himself to a spa. Obviously we don’t begrudge people looking their best during major coups, however, Moody’s hair and nail appointment was totally wasted, as the group soon realised they were being recorded by CCTV and proceeded to tape them up! In true Ager-Hanssen style cockup, they did this after they were recorded breaking in to the server room, shredding documents and taking out boxes to their cars.
In the end, the coup failed and the Custos gang were locked out of the offices. The IT worked they had abused earlier in the day had managed to escape and remotely block their passes to prevent any further data exfiltration. Ager-Hanssen was sacked on the day, and his useless goons were all suspended pending investigation.
After an independent law firm investigated their claims, as well as the events of the 27th September, they were dismissed for gross misconduct. Several months later, they decided to retrospectively claim to be whistleblowers.
The hapless idiots were supported by WhistleblowersUK, a private company which masquerades as a whistleblowing charity ran by all-round shitbag Georgina Halford-Hall and a couple of has-been MPs. They work incredibly close with Flora Page KC, who works at the same chambers as Zafar Ali.
A documentary released in May explores their relationship with Ager-Hanssen and includes claims from an insider, who explains in the documentary that WBUK supported Ager-Hanssen because they believed his case would net them hundreds of thousands of pounds. We did warn Halford-Hall in 2024 that she should make “Ager-Hanssen pay her money on account, as she is unlikely to see any cash otherwise” – oh how right we were!
This latest blow to Ager-Hanssen will deepen the rift with his wife Caroline, who has her own legal troubles after defrauding a man almost sixty years her senior out of his entire life fortune shortly before his death, and has already fled several jurisdictions with him wondering what happens now and what exactly he has done with her stolen money.
His made-up prospects of a ‘billion-dollar claim’ have fallen apart and there’s no hiding from the facts of the judgement, Caroline will now be faced with trying to take control of whatever assets and cash left after their numerous midnight flits to a new jurisdiction.
