I am Nick Gold. {\an8}Catch! That's it! {\an8}I'm an investor. A bad investor, but an investor. I first met Nick Gold by chance. Gary Kilbey was having drinks
to celebrate his 60th birthday, and Nick Gold was there. I remember Paul Murphy.
We were both getting drunk together. He told me if I needed a journalist,
and I had a story to report, he was one. Drink as much as you can take, here! And I phoned him months later,
and said, "Can I see you?" He says, "I can't do it for two weeks,
'cause I'm stuck on Wirecard." The minute he said,
"I'm stuck on Wirecard," I knew this was a no-brainer scenario. He'll bring something out.
It can't be positive, therefore this is free money. I have to short-sell this company
within an inch of my life. Which I did to the tune
of hundreds and hundreds of millions
