- Wow. Many words bound and printed. Almost eight years since @johnhempton mentioned a funny little German company called Wirecard. Never imagined where it would lead
- I’m kinda speechless. Thanks everyone, thanks to the jury, the whistleblowers, and the wonderful @CharlotteMcCrum who had to put up with Wirecard’s trolls and shenanigans, as well as me.Replying to @pressgazette
- Replying to @FD"Have you been arrested yet?" This is the tale of the spies, the hacking, the put-up job, the sock puppets, the fancy restaurants, the digital handbag and the many, many professionals taking Wirecard's money to fight and intimidate its critics
- A clear out of legal files at the FT unearthed that time Wirecard sued me for half a million euros. Great days
