Crispin Odey

Crispin Odey is a 67-year-old British hedge fund manager and financier. He is currently newsworthy due to a court case involving allegations of sexual harassment. Odey is facing a lawsuit brought against him by a financial services firm. During the first day of the tribunal, it was revealed that the head of his hedge fund had described him as a "sex pest" and a sociopath. The court also heard details of an alleged incident where Odey is accused of groping a female staff member's breasts, which he reportedly blamed on a sedative. Odey himself testified, stating he does not recall telling a female employee "I could attack you now" after a lunch. The three-week court case will determine the outcome of the lawsuit and has brought renewed scrutiny to Odey's behavior and its impact on his career.
