Yeah, nothing can go wrong with that...

Firm advised by Cameron close to insolvency

“Greensill Capital was under pressure last night after Credit Suisse suspended funds investing in the controversial lender’s products and as it emerged that SoftBank had substantially written down its $1.5 billion investment in it.

The British company, which is advised by David Cameron, the former prime minister, is believed to have appointed administrators and could file for insolvency within days.

Credit Suisse froze funds holding about $10 billion worth of assets linked to Greensill, citing “considerable uncertainty” surrounding the valuations of some of their holdings.”
