Today in Focus
The secretive billionaire bankrolling Nigel Farage

The UK is one of the few places with the sort of big law enforcement system that could actually try to crack down on these illicit uses of crypto.

Today in Focus

Indeed, there are investigations going on that involve the illicit use of specifically Tether crypto.

Is the UK going to try and crack down on crypto or is it going to embrace it the way Trump has done it?

Today in Focus
The secretive billionaire bankrolling Nigel Farage

And Farage's view is very much we embrace it.

So let me get the stack of legal letters.

So I'm getting the one from Shillings, one of the foremost reputation management law firms.

They wrote a letter when I wrote to Harborne saying, can we have an interview?

Today in Focus
The secretive billionaire bankrolling Nigel Farage

They said, first of all, they didn't want to give an interview.

Today in Focus
The secretive billionaire bankrolling Nigel Farage

They said they wouldn't reward my previous coverage, which I think they clearly considered to have been critical with an interview.

And then there's this.

The prime ministers and senior politicians to whom you refer, so the ones like Farage who've received donations, are fully capable of making their own informed decisions on matters such as cryptocurrencies.

Today in Focus
The secretive billionaire bankrolling Nigel Farage

So interestingly, the legal letter we got from Reform, I mean, it says we've got all sorts of things wrong.

Today in Focus
The secretive billionaire bankrolling Nigel Farage

And I think the crucial point in this is this one.

Today in Focus
The secretive billionaire bankrolling Nigel Farage

No donor, including Mr Harborne, has sought or been offered any form of influence, benefit or preferential treatment in connection with donations.

Today in Focus
The secretive billionaire bankrolling Nigel Farage

So we've got the legal letter, right?

Today in Focus
The secretive billionaire bankrolling Nigel Farage

Yeah.

But we've also got what Faraz himself has said when he was asked by a reporter about these donations, these massive donations from Harbour.
