It’s a story that connects Dubai’s ultramodern skyscrapers, the North of England and a manor house in East Sussex.
The two main characters in a plot that could come straight out of a Hollywood movie are high profile tech entrepreneur and investor Scott Fletcher and social media personality and podcast host Matt Haycox.
The two – who have swapped the North for the luxury lifestyle, futuristic skyline and all-year-round sun that Dubai offers – are embroiled in an increasingly acrimonious court case about a multi-million pound investment deal that went bad.
Now a court has ruled in favour of Fletcher, founder of Manchester-based ANS Group and chairman of Godel Technologies, after he accused Haycox of ‘commercial fraud’.
The serial tech investor declared on social media ‘finally, justice has been served’ but a cost hearing in December is unlikely to be the end of this remarkable story.
