Summary
James Watt, co-founder of BrewDog, is making a dramatic comeback attempt to buy his own company back through his new firm, Second Best, just months after BrewDog was acquired by Tilray Brands. With 43,000 “equity punk” investors reportedly on board, Watt’s move has sparked a data privacy probe by the UK’s ICO after he allegedly contacted former shareholders. Tilray denies any involvement and insists it didn’t acquire shareholder data during the acquisition, distancing itself from Watt’s current bid. The situation is heating up as regulators weigh in on whether Watt’s outreach crossed legal lines — and whether BrewDog’s founder can truly reclaim his legacy.
