Odey Allegedly Told Staffer He Could ‘Attack’ Her After an Alcohol-Fueled Lunch

Ex-hedge fund boss Crispin Odey cornered a female receptionist after an alcohol-fueled lunch and told her “I could attack you now,” according to a diary entry by the staffer revealed at a London court on Tuesday.

When she verbally resisted his advances, the tycoon told the receptionist ‘You could sue me for that’,” according to notes she took at the time to record Odey’s alleged misconduct. The entry from January 2020 was included as evidence in an internal report compiled by lawyers for Odey Asset Management.
