ប្រធាន BBC ភ្ជាប់ទៅនឹងក្រុមហ៊ុន Crypto របស់រុស្ស៊ី Oligarch

Chairman of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), Richard Sharp, reportedly made investments three years ago into a crypto firm linked to a now-sanctioned Russian oligarch.

យោងតាមរបាយការណ៍ដោយ Guardian បាន on Monday, Sharp made investments throughout 2019 to Atomyze, a Swiss crypto company founded by Vladimir Potanin, also known as “Nickel King.”

នេះ រដ្ឋាភិបាលអង់គ្លេស sanctioned Potanin — one of Russia’s richest men — in June for continuing to “amass wealth as he supports Putin’s regime” following the country’s invasion of Ukraine in February.

Sharp’s unreported investments into Atomyze came via Cayman Islands company ABCP GP Ltd, prior to his appointment at the BBC, where he was made company director for a two-month period.

The BBC’s office was contacted for comment but did not return a response by press time.

Atomyze is a blockchain platform designed to digitize and tokenize commodities including palladium, gold, silver and nickel with ties to Russia’s mining and smelting giant Nornickel.

The company is best known for becoming Russia’s ក្រុមហ៊ុនគ្រីបតូដំបូងគេ added to the country’s central bank list of approved digital asset operators, shortly before its invasion of Ukraine.

Sharp, a former banker with eight years of experience at JPMorgan and 23 years at Goldman Sachs, joined the BBC as its non-executive chairman in February 2021.

While the chairman has since vacated his role at the Swiss firm, an employee of Sharp’s personal investment office sits on the board of directors, per the report.

Sharp is not considered to have breached the UK’s current sanctions nor to have committed any wrongdoing. Russia has sanctioned the chairman, along with the BBC’s director general Tim Davie and other BBC staff, who have since been refused entry into the country ever since Russia’s invasion began.
