With “Skandal!” from Netflix! Bringing Down Wirecard”, which explores one of the worst financial crimes of all time, gives us a better understanding of how the German company in question deceived the world. This is because it uses real accounts, historical images, comic recreations, and authentic accounts to show the fintech company’s gang conduct and accounting errors. Short seller/investor Nick Gold is one of those who openly shared their side of the story here, so if you want to know more about him, we’ve got the information for you.
Investor Nick Gold
Who is Nick Gold?
Nicholas “Nick” Gold, born in February 1972, is a businessman and “compulsive stock market gambler” who has a foothold in several different businesses and a large portfolio. However, it is claimed he became their target due to his opposition to Wirecard after learning that the Financial Times will soon publish another critical investigation into them. Financial Times reporter Paul Murphy had told him they were “obsessed” with the company, prompting him to quickly sell it short “to the tune of hundreds and hundreds of millions”, according to the piece.
In order to link the newspaper to criminal cooperation and market manipulation, an undercover agent acting as a potential investor secretly filmed Nick in July 2019. The tycoon simply assumed something big was afoot. point to occur based on Paul’s offhand comment in an unrelated conversation, but the truth is that he had never disclosed anything specific on their cover. Nick also said that throughout this “undercover operation” he was encouraged to twist information he knew, so no charges were brought against him, Paul or the newspaper.

Where is Nick Gold today?
Although successful investor Nick Gold prefers to keep a low profile, we know he currently splits his time between London, England, and Cannes, France. He apparently hasn’t had a few easy years, but despite that, he still seems to be living a nice, happy life and making the most of it to the best of his abilities. For starters, the entire Gold family, including dad Peter, mum Janice and brother Daniel, were accused in 2018 of “swindling” Sweden out of £4million by improperly marketing items for public roads.
Records show the companies linked to the alleged fraud were all founded in Sweden by wealthy businessman Peter, but they list some of his relatives as former directors. Afterwards, Nick openly told The Times, “He foresaw that I would want to get involved in these businesses at some point.” “Actually, I didn’t. I have never worked for any of the companies and have never performed any services for them or on their behalf. He added, Knowing my father as I know him, I have no reason to believe that the business he ran was anything other than legal and ethical.
Then there’s the fact that Nick filed for bankruptcy at the end of 2020 when he was also going through a divorce and had debts reaching over £22m. However, because his creditors agreed to an Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA), he was spared from filing for total bankruptcy and is now struggling hard to recover his previous position. As for his private life, Nick had married socialite Laura Zilli, his second wife, in a celebrity-studded ceremony in April 2018, but they eventually separated more than two years later. As of now, he appears to be a proud single dad.
