'Beckham of the City' who preyed on banks gave Tories £30,000 | Mail Online
A hedge fund high-flyer who made a killing from the financial crash has donated £30,000 to the Tories. Crispin Odey, nicknamed the 'David Beckham of the City' for his success in the money markets, raked in a fortune by short-selling shares in British banks. His gift, handed over in July, is the latest in a series from so-called City 'wolves' seeking to bankroll David Cameron's bid for Downing Street.
