Mystery investor’s attempt to stop Canoo asset sale shot down by judge


The judge in Canoo's bankruptcy case has blocked an attempt by a mysterious financier to disrupt the sale of the EV startup's assets. In a hearing

In a hearing Tuesday, Judge Brendan Linehan Shannon ruled the financier, a UK-based man named Charles Garson, lacked standing to request the sale to Canoo’s own CEO be vacated. Garson also never made it clear where he was sourcing that money from, causing the bankruptcy trustee in the case to raise concerns the bid could get blocked by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States. He previously worked at The Verge, where he also covered consumer technology, hosted many short- and long-form videos, performed product and editorial photography, and once nearly passed out in a Red Bull Air Race plane.
