Describing himself as a fervent believer in the startup's vision of providing a universal basic income, Hajarabi characterizes the company's efforts as a “horrendous execution deserving of what will come next,” highlighting the murky waters through which the project continues to navigate.
The cryptocurrency market is in turmoil due to shocking claims made by Nadir Hajarabi, a supposed former employee of the controversial project Worldcoin. In a YouTube video, the man alleges to have severed ties with the company and is currently collaborating with authorities from various jurisdictions to investigate the project's practices.
Led by Sam Altman, CEO and also founder of ChatGPT, Worldcoin has been a subject of speculation since its launch. Altman has been a prominent figure in the tech world, further amplifying the focus on his initiatives.
In the video, Hajarabi expresses deep concerns about the project, stating that he noticed several red flags “from day one.” Despite his attempts to raise concerns with the legal team and the CEO himself, he felt that his claims were disregarded.
“Worldcoin deserves what will happen soon”
Worldcoin has an ambitious mission: “to provide a universal basic income for everyone around the world simply because they are human beings.”
As noble as this mission might sound, Hajarabi suggests that the execution and operational details, especially concerning the Worldcoin token, WLD, and the release of its white paper, were problematic.

To protect his integrity and legality, Hajarabi has engaged lawyers and has been advised to keep certain details confidential. However, he made it a point to publicly disassociate his name from the Worldcoin project.
One of the most controversial aspects of Worldcoin is its proposal to scan the irises of the global population for digital authentication. According to project information, over 2.2 million people have already provided their biometric data in exchange for the cryptocurrency.
Launched in July, the project has been widely debated by experts and regulators. Particularly outside the US, Worldcoin has faced criticism for privacy issues and the potentially exploitative use of data in developing countries.
In a recent development, Worldcoin's operations were suspended in Kenya, where it was particularly popular. In Nairobi, the company's facilities were subject to a raid as part of ongoing investigations. Other countries, including Germany, France, and the UK, have also initiated investigations.
Hajarabi's claim of collaborating with authorities from various jurisdictions adds a new dimension to the scandal.
The veracity of his involvement with Worldcoin still needs to be confirmed. Both parties, Hajarabi and Worldcoin, have been contacted for comments on the matter. Updates will be provided as new information becomes available.
