He has proved that he has been the ultimate failure towards his (greedy) investors. Anyone who backs his next income stream will be just as fooled, again.
Hubris knows no order.I was an IPSE Consultative Council Member, until the BoD abolished it. I am not an IPSE Member, since they have no longer have any relevance to me, as an IT Contractor. Read my lips...I recommend QDOS for ALL your Insurance requirements (Contact me for a referral code).Comment

"Mr Woodford told the Telegraph his new investment firm, called Woodford Capital Management Partners, would be based in Jersey and would only raise money from professionals."

It’s not like they got unlucky with bad investment - based on reporting i’ve read they listed some shares on a noddy “stock exchange” just to be able to satisfy legal requirements of having “liquid shares” (ie listed so supposedly sellable).
How are they all not in jail already? Rhetorical questionComment

"I'm very sorry for what I did wrong.""I didn't make the decision to suspend the fund, I didn't make the decision to liquidate the fund.
"As history will now show, those decisions were incredibly damaging to investors, and they were not mine."
He also accused the company's administrator, Link Fund Solutions, of shutting down Woodford Equity Income Fund too soon. Many of the shares it had bought were in drugmakers whose fortunes have improved during the pandemic.Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment
