🍿🍿Lex Greensill will testify in court for the first time since the high-profile collapse of his trade finance firm bloomberg.com/news/articles/… 🍿🍿

Why is my book on Greensill called Pyramid of Lies? Well SoftBank, which invested billions in Greensill and committed billions more in additional funding, said Lex was "slippery", "prone to lying" and treated the Japanese firm as a "piggybank" bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Mark Walsh Serious Fraud Office (SFO) Given the identification of such a growing number of direct and indirect participants & enablers in the Greensill scandal, maybe Duncan Mavin should team up with other journalists to produce a revised omnibus edition called ‘Pyramid of Liars’ ?

I'm very grateful for the chance to tell this story: Former-Credit Suisse banker Andrew Pearse had it all. Then he got greedy, became entangled in a $2 billion fraud and lost the lot. bloomberg.com/news/features/…
