I'm not sure Odey is the perfect fit for this thread but I will stick him in here anyway.

High-profile investor Crispin Odey said he denies the charge he assaulted a woman in 1998.

Perhaps Tory backers like Odey deserve a thread of their own? Anyway, Odey's entitled odiousness goes on and on. The grim conclusion is that he keeps getting away with it.

CW: sexual assault

A long and grim series of allegations. Presumably the FT have well legalled the story from their upcoming Weekend magazine:

How Crispin Odey evaded sexual assault allegations for decades​

Thirteen women accuse the hedge fund titan of harassment, abuse and fostering a toxic workplace

For some of the 13 women who spoke to the FT, Odey’s continued public rehabilitation has highlighted the limitations of the #MeToo movement. “Without standing up to him, he will do it again and continue doing it,” Louise said. “The number of known assaults is large enough now that we are able to validate each other’s stories and face him with the confidence needed to stop his vile behaviour continuing.”

Following that FT article, Morgan Stanley is severing ties with Odey Asset Management and the FCA is widening an investigation it apparently opened 2 years ago. JP Morgan is reportedly reviewing its relationship with the firm.
