Is there actual reason to think this guy had something like a short position on the British economy before contributing to Brexit or is it just a meme

That’s something, I guess. Maybe we wouldn’t know specifically how he took advantage of it because the trades aren’t public record.

There’s every reason to get believe the worst about this guy, he’s so evil he would be out of place as a comic book villain. Well, maybe unless it was one of those edgy political comics.

That said the cash is just a side effect and the actual reason he put this together, as i understand it, is to get revenge for Britain banning fox hunting.
