Alex Green, the founder and former CEO of the trading platform Moolah, has been accused by prominent members of the cryptocurrency community of being well-known internet scammer Ryan Kennedy - though claims his real identity is "irrelevant".

Green resigned from Moolah on Thursday 16 October, shortly after rescinding a statement that the troubled firm would be filing for bankruptcy.

"There was no great conspiracy," Green said in a blogpost titled A Public Resignation. "We simply ran out of money. Money came in, far more money went out."

In the blogpost, Green addressed accusations from dogecoin creator Jackson Palmer that he has lied about his true identity in order to distance himself from a past marked by "abuse, fraud and destruction".

"My identity is irrelevant," Green said. "My identity becomes relevant if I break the law, which is something that neither myself nor my employees have done.

"To be as clear as I can, I could have been born as John Smith, and it wouldn't matter. This is not to be taken as confirmation or admission of anything, that will follow at a later stage. In the eyes of the law, my name is Alex Green."

Green has not responded to a request for comment, however in June he told IBTimes UKhe was "far from faceless".

"Many people have confirmed meeting me," he said. "I'm just fairly reclusive due to the constant threats and harrassment against myself and my team.
