英国上级法庭维持了英国金融监管局对前对冲基金经理克里斯平·奥迪的终身禁止从事金融服务业处罚1。法庭在为期三周的上诉听证会中认定，奥迪在处理员工性骚扰调查期间缺乏诚信，且"表示没有悔意"1。法庭判决其"缺乏诚信"，"不适合从事该行业"1。
关于罚款，英国金融监管局原定的罚款额从1830万英镑减至1530万英镑1。调查所针对的不当行为发生在2021年12月至2022年11月期间1。法庭指出，奥迪曾两次解散整个执行委员会，目的是保护自身利益并阻挠调查1。
性骚扰指控源自一起2005年发生的事件，奥迪声称当时受到了镇静剂的影响1。这些指控首次在2023年夏天由《金融时报》报道1。随后奥迪在2023年辞职，他所创办的对冲基金公司也随之停止运营1。
Crispin Odey, the former hedge fund manager, has failed in his legal challenge to overturn a lifetime ban from the UK financial services industry 1. The Upper Tribunal upheld the Financial Conduct Authority's March 2024 enforcement decision against him, determining that he lacked the integrity required to operate in the sector 1.
The tribunal found that Odey acted without integrity while handling an investigation into employee sexual harassment, dissolving his entire executive committee on two separate occasions to obstruct the inquiry 1. During three weeks of appeal hearings, the court noted that "he has expressed no contrition" regarding his conduct 1. The misconduct investigated spanned from December 2021 to November 2022 1. While the financial penalty was reduced from £1.83 million to £1.53 million, the lifetime ban itself remained in place 1.
The case stems from sexual harassment allegations involving an incident from 2005, which Odey claimed occurred while he was under the influence of sedatives 1. These allegations were first publicly reported by the Financial Times in the summer of 2023 1. Following the scandal, Odey resigned in 2023 and his hedge fund subsequently ceased operations 1.
