(Reuters) – Burford Capital (BURF.L), the litigation funder embroiled in a stand-off with short-seller Muddy Waters, on Thursday confirmed plans for a dual U.S. listing as it replaced its finance chief over investor concerns about her marriage to the CEO.
Burford was pitched into crisis last week after Muddy Waters issued a report challenging its accounts and governance structure, including the concentration of influence in the hands of Chief Financial Officer Elizabeth O’Connell and Chief Executive Christopher Bogart, her husband.
