I must say that seems a bit harsh, even mean spirited. Would you say the same about anyone who risked their fortune on a venture that went Pete Tong? If it weren't for risk takers we'd still be in the stone age.
It happens quite often too - A couple of years ago, ISTR reading that the Wolvertons of Wolverton Hall had to move out after some venture collapsed, and their ancestors had been there since before the Conquest! (A Saxon king called Edgar granted them the land in the 9th century for killing a pack of wolves, hence the name.)
In a way I respect the guy for at least trying, even if his judgement and skill in going about it looks questionable. (I wouldn't trust a land deal in Eastern Europe further than I could throw a wren's feather!)Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

From the article:
‘Romania had left the Eastern bloc, and this was a scheme to develop land around Bucharest,’ he says. ‘The idea was to create a beautiful suburb for professionals working in Bucharest so they could commute into the city."
