Brexit, Finance
Just got reminded of this piece, one of my highlights of the Brexit saga of doom: How the brexiteers made millions by shorting the pound on Brexit night, how patriotic!
+ the role of Farage in the pump & dump as he appeared to concede defeat at first and made the fall even steeper when the real results came in. (which he knew thanks to his mate's private polls).
Can't decide if I'm more mad at the thing itself or at how under-reported this is e.g. by the BBC.
