A high-profile UK Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) has resigned from two blockchain-related positions after media investigations into an allegedly undisclosed pay deal for his advisory role in a blockchain startup, FT Alphaville reported yesterday, August 1.
Grant Shapps, the former chair of the Conservative party until his resignation in the throes of a 2015 bullying scandal, tendered a dual resignation this week from his roles as chair of governance for the blockchain property portal OpenBrix, as well as from his co-chairmanship of the UK All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Blockchain.
