Apparently, having Yuji Naka removed from the project was a joint decision, since multiple employees complained about him. According to some ex-Sega employees (particularly those from the American division), Naka was "an arrogant pain in the ass" to work with. Considering the way he acted towards the X-Treme developers (even to the point of reveling in the game's cancellation (https://www.gamesradar.com/super-rare-1990-sonic-the-hedgehog-prototype-is-missing/)), along with what he said about Hirokazu Yasuhara (the lead game and level designer of all four Genesis titles; he was also responsible for keeping Sonic alive during the Saturn era while Sonic Team was focusing on NiGHTs) in this quote:

What do you think of the way the Sonic games have evolved; was it a problem when one of your team members left to work with Sony?

Yuji Naka: Yeah, one of the guys from our team went to work on Jak and Daxter! As for the original titles, I was involved from the beginning, the creation of the game. The character was born in a kind of stream of creating, so I'm involved from the very beginning of the character. I gave the game direction, and I was the main programmer also.

So I was involved with every aspect of the original Sonics. Some of the details, like making a map, quite straight-forward stuff, was done by the guy who's working on Jak and Daxter right now. He was involved until Sonic 3, and after that for eight years he didn't do anything in Sega, so he was quite useless in Sega. We really didn't need him. He was really doing nothing with Sonic.

...definitely seems to support the claim.

When you said that he's "lost it", I was expecting some sort of meltdown tweet of his. The insider trading thing, I was completely unprepared for. I'm pretty much speechless at this news.

Naka’s been arrested again for the same thing:
