The Libra Association that is responsible for governing Facebook's proposed cryptocurrency has lost its product chief, according to a person with direct knowledge.

Simon Morris left the organization in August, according to his LinkedIn profile. The departure is the latest sign of trouble for Facebook's proposed cryptocurrency, which is slated for launch in 2020.

Morris was only in the role on an interim basis, according to the person, and will not be replaced until the association finds a permanent managing director. Currently, Libra Association Chief Operating Officer Bertrand Perez is acting as interim managing director. The move was previously reported by The Telegraph.
