Update on my 2024 story on Jared Kushner's investment in UK Amazon aggregator firm Unybrands which he met through former WeWork CEO Adam Neumann - last October his firm Affinity wrote off $171 mil in debt and converted it to shares.

Other investors included Morebath Ltd, firm linked to Mark Denning, and Kokkuhoideur owned by Finnish noble family the Ehrnrooths.

Affinity holds stakes in other UK companies - Revolut, a fintech firm that became a bank and OakNorth bank.
