Moritz first engaged with Holochain in 2017. Sources within the company relay that his problematic beliefs were raised as an issue (at the time he was reportedly tweeting Islamophobic content). A brief conversation was had- 3 people objected to his inclusion, but it was decided by the rest of the team (whomever was present) to ignore the problem. They subsequently employed him between Jul 2018 - Dec 2019 to undertake partnership development and a 'chief catalyst' role.
