Who is Crispin Odey?

He’s one of the UK’s best-known hedge fund managers but, come 28 September, Crispin Odey’s career is likely to hang in tatters. The founding partner of Odey Asset Management, 61, has been charged with indecent assault following a complaint made by a woman over an incident which allegedly took place at an address on Swan Walk, Chelsea (where Mr Odey owns a property) in July 1998. The Metropolitan Police brought charges against Odey this May, which he denies, telling the FT he will “strongly contest this matter.”
