Clarification on Previously Published Information on Calvin Ayre

An article published by BeInCrypto in late November 2025 incorrectly reported that Calvin Ayre was associated with Wirecard and its fabricated Asian payment network.

The article relied upon unverified and false statements published by The Rage and Bayerische Rundfunk.

We now recognise that there is no evidence to suggest Mr Ayre had any involvement in the Wirecard fraud whatsoever, nor did he knowingly benefit from it.

We have withdrawn the article from publication to prevent the false statements in the article from causing further harm to Mr. Ayre, and have replaced the article with this apology.

It was inappropriate for us to rely upon unverified sources and to ignore information that would have demonstrated the falsity of the accusations made regarding Mr. Ayre. We sincerely apologize to Mr. Ayre for the harm our article may have caused.
