Tax Dispute and Royal Pardon

After his tenure in investment banking, Sellæg founded his family office and became involved in a tax evasion dispute with the Norwegian government. The charges, initially dropped, were later refiled. Sellæg lost in the lower courts, but the Supreme Court referred the case to the Criminal Cases Review Commission[4]. Before the Commission's conclusion, the Oslo Public Prosecutor’s Office[5] and the Office of the Attorney General of Norway recommended a full Royal Pardon[6], supported by the Department of Justice and the Norwegian government. Sellæg received a full pardon from the King of Norway[7] in June 2020, permanently closing the case without imprisonment.

He recruited notable single-family offices from Norway and New York to support this venture. As an executive director and CEO of seeyouAI[10], Sellæg oversees the company's overall business, management team, strategic direction, and system architecture.
