People and Business: Lost kingpin
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.OTHER LUMINARIES at the Festival included Oliver Pawle, the high-powered corporate finance executive formerly of UBS and now of Warburg Dillon Read. Mr Pawle fully admits that the unexpected departure earlier this week of Warburg kingpin Hans de Gier was "mishandled by Warburg and mishandled by Hans de Gier".
Fees received
I SPOTTED Christopher Morris, the distinguished receiver from Deloitte & Touche, trotting towards the betting booths.
Mr Morris, one of Britain's insolvency specialists, is the lead liquidator of BCCI, a task that has run up over pounds 600m in professional fees since the bank went bust eight years ago. If any creditor of BCCI wants to know what happened to those fees, they need look no further than Cheltenham. (Only joking!)
