Lex Greensill and his family sold about $200m of shares in Greensill Capital in 2019, cashing out during a fundraising round led by SoftBank Vision Fund two years before the company collapsed. 'Three people with knowledge of the matter said Greensill and his family were able to sell part of their stake after the giant technology fund ploughed $1.5bn into the business in 2019, valuing the company at about $3.5bn. The news makes Greensill the latest start-up founder to benefit personally from SoftBank’s investment before the business fell into distress.' https://www.ft.com/content/40d3ab62-cfff-4275-b6c1-3f1353b8e Greensill was the recipient of a CBE from Prince Charles in Cameron's time. LOL Spivs galore. Who deals with the consequences of this collapse? We do, the idiot taxpayers.
