Jahn Teigen's name misused in fraudulent investment scam

A fraudulent article is circulating on social media using the name of the late Norwegian artist Jahn Teigen to promote an investment scam. The fake news piece, which impersonates the Norwegian broadcaster NRK, claims that Teigen secretly earned millions through an investment platform called ‘Skønhed’ using algorithmic trading and artificial intelligence.

The fabricated story includes personal details about Teigen’s life and family, falsely suggesting that his daughter and ex-wife are involved in managing the alleged millions. There is no documentation to support these claims. The article serves as a lure to advertise the platform, promising readers monthly earnings between 30,000 and 60,000 kroner. NRK has responded strongly to the misuse of its brand and the deceased artist's reputation.
