Compass Mining went through a turbulent period in 2022. Following OFAC's designation of BitRiver as a sanctioned entity, Compass Mining ended its former hosting partnership with BitRiver to avoid breaching sanctions, leaving approximately 4,000 mining rigs valued at $30 million stranded in Russia. On June 21, 2022, Compass Mining filed a lawsuit against Dynamics Mining in the Delaware Court of Chancery, alleging that its former hosting provider was holding equipment hostage during a billing dispute. Separately, on July 1, 2022, customer Veribi LLC filed a California lawsuit against Compass Mining alleging breach of contract, negligence, conversion, and fraud, claiming losses of more than $1.5 million. Per WIRED, then-CEO Whit Gibbs and chief financial officer Jodie Fisher both resigned on June 28, 2022, with Thomas Heller and chief technology officer Paul Gosker stepping up as co-CEOs. Compass Mining also announced layoffs of 15 percent of its workforce on July 7, 2022, alongside compensation and spending reductions, citing overly rapid growth.
