£60 million... that's a nice round number.

Funding from where?
"The commitment comes from existing backers Legatum Ventures Limited and Sir Paul Marshall, who have bought out Discovery Inc. following its merger with WarnerMedia earlier this year."

Sir Paul Marshall 🤦 #ARK

conservativepost.co.uk/gb-news-announ…

"Marshall Wace. Paul Marshall, Co-Founder &
Sir Andrew Large, Chairman" - 2006
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_La…

Sir Andrew Large was Deputy Governor of the Bank of England,

In 1971 Large began his career as an investment banker that lasted for 20 years, first at Orion Bank and then at the SBC, where he served on the management board from 1987 to 1989

🤔
In 1992, Large became chairman of the UK Securities and Investments Board (SIB),

In the wake of the 1992 pension fund scandal, when it came to light that businessman Robert Maxwell had plundered more than $1.6 billion from the pension fund of the Mirror Group, his failing
company, in a desperate and unsuccessful attempt to keep it afloat

As SIB Chair, Large started the reforming the SIB; instead of conducting the "Maxwell witch-hunt that ministers demanded", he combined "lighter regulation with stricter disclosure and tougher penalties"
"Next, Large served as deputy chairman of Barclays Bank from 1998 to 2002, during which he was also Chairman of Euroclear, the Brussels-based financial services company

🤔Interesting timing 👇
"At the same time Large served as the Managing Director of the IMF's Capital Markets Consultative Group between 1999 and 2002, and chaired for the Group of Thirty .."

Horst Köhler, Head of the International Monetary Fund, 2000–2004

2019 : "THE DISASTER CAPITALISM CLUB: PART 2
Sir Paul Marshall and Michael Gove"
bylinetimes.com/2019/03/18/the…
"He’s head of one of the biggest hedge funds in Europe, a major contributor to the official Vote Leave campaign, and – along with Crispin Odey – one of the largest beneficiaries of the post-Brexit chaos: but Sir Paul Marshall is more than that."

I'll say 🙄 ImageImage
"Unlike his co-founder, Ian Wace, who donated to the ‘Better In’ campaign, Marshall had a strategic role in persuading the then Justice Minister, Michael Gove, to betray his long-term friend David Cameron and lead the official campaign to leave the European Union"

Yah, right 🙄
