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\". <\/p>\n
Green resigned from Moolah on Thursday 16 October, shortly after rescinding a statement that the troubled firm would be filing for bankruptcy. <\/p>\n
\"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.\" <\/p>\n
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\". <\/p>\n

\"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. <\/p>\n
\"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.\" <\/p>\n
Green has not responded to a request for comment, however in June he told IBTimes UKhe was \"far from faceless\". <\/p>\n
