Wan quoted the internal email which categorically said:
“Micree Zhan is dismissed from all operating positions from the company immediately. No one should take order from him or attend his meeting.”
The fight to sit at the helm of the mining giant has been ongoing for some time. Jihan Wu is a former CEO of Bitmain and is said to be having a 20.5% stake in the company. Jihan succeeded Zhan as the official legal representative of the firm.
