Reform UK treasurer's company wins £4.6m in damages from technology start-up

Reform UK treasurer Nick Candy's company was awarded over £4.6 million in damages after being misled into investing in a technology start-up. Candy Ventures Sarl sued Dutch businessman Robert Bonnier, alleging he lied about potential investments from Apple and LVMH to secure a 7.5 million euro investment in Aaqua BV. The High Court judge found Bonnier knowingly made false representations, inducing CVS to invest shares in Aaqua, which were later deemed worthless.
