Nano Foundation and Espen Enger have a very shady and dark history before Espen Enger decided to exit scam with the Bitgrail Victim's money:
>Nano's core dev Shapiro, despite knowing about Bitgrail's problems did multiple times publicly endorse Bitgrail and encouraged people to invest and convinced them to stay in, to not sell their Bitgrail. >Tens of thousands of people who would have got out ended up loosing everything because of this. >There were people who committed suicide as a consequence of this >While key Nano dev Shapiro was telling concerned investors not to worry (as normal investors had their accounts and ability to withdraw frozen) the Nano devs and their friends were withdrawing and funneling out tens of millions of dollars, both before and after the "hack" was publicly known >These are the people Espen Enger sold out to and banned Bitgrail victims from criticising.
Espen Enger >Came out of nowhere and volunteered (as a Bitgrail victim) to represent the Bitgrail victims and retrieve their money and get justice from lazy Italian criminal scammer Francesco. >Enger promised 100% transparency and to fight for the interests of the Bitgrail victims >Very soon he had a meeting with Nano foundations lawyer - the outcome and contents of the meeting remain a secret to date. >Soon after the meeting with Nano Foundation, he got non Bitgrail mods to monitor discord and ban/silence any actual Bitgrail victims who were critical of the Nano devs and the Nano team’s involvement >Espen Enger said that he just "knew" that the Bitgrail victims had no legal case against Nano Foundation, so he decided to protect the Nano Foundation >Nano foundation still won’t answer questions regarding (a) what the meeting with Espen Enger was about (b) how much money they paid him and (c) what happened to the money
>Espen Enger exit scammed with the Bitgrail victim fund money and no one knows anything about the 1 million Nano foundation gave him. >According to former friend "OberstWeltMeister" in Nano Trade discord, former broke Espen Enger, after Bitgrail, had suddenly more than 100 BTC to daytrade with >He is no longer active in the Bitgrail group >Scammed his best friends for another 100 000 dollar - New con job by Espen Enger - reddit.com/r/nanocurrency/comments/hz8vq4/new_con_job_by_espen_enger/ >Now has gone underground and in hiding.

Nano’s relationship with BitGrail, their main trading platform, was incestuous and dirty from the very beginning. However, after “Bomber”, CEO of BitGrail found out that his exchange had been hacked for 80% of their Nano assets in October 2017, close to 10% of total supply of Nano, the relationship between Nano devs and BitGrail became criminal.

This piece of sh*t scammer belongs in jail. Also these Nano bastards got away so easily, no justice. Hope enough people will wake up and both Nano and Espen Enger finally receive the consequences for being irresponsible AND scammer.
