COO at OCCRP. Usual disclaimers about whose these opinions are (mine) apply in the usual (obvious) way. Aspiring cat owner. Corruption, investigative journalism, art, classical music, not necessarily in that order.

Not like they were struggling to raise money during that period, and I can’t believe that $3 million made a material difference to their runway. Also I wonder how AH felt about having a sex criminal alongside them in the shareholder register?
