A twice-bankrupt businessman whose podcast has featured celebrities and sports personalities has had a multi-million pound worldwide asset freezing order imposed by the High Court.
Matt Haycox, a self-styled investor, mentor and philanthropist, is facing a fraud claim by a Manchester-based investor and former Conservative Party donor related to two vehicles of an insolvent peer-to-peer lending group called Huddle.
A judge ordered a £5.6 million asset-freezing injunction against Haycox, 44, based in Dubai, last year. He has since been warned of contempt of court, the risk of imprisonment and having assets seized if he disobeys court orders, including to attend a hearing in person.
