Photoshopping Obama: The singapore company that wants to buy Newcastle United

Saturday, 22 Aug 2020 02:10 PM MYT

Speaking on behalf of BN Group’s principals, Nereides Antonio Giamundo de Bourbon, head of investor relations, acknowledged that the company had altered photos of Obama to make it look as though he had attended a meeting with its executives in Paris.BN Group has now removed the photos from its website.

A receptionist at an office rental business operated by Regus in the building said BN Group has used its space but its staff were not always present. Bourbon maintained to Reuters that BN Group had a permanent office in Place Vendome. “We are serious people ... the only ambiguous thing has been the photoshop picture,” he said. “There wasn’t any malicious aim behind it.”

Obama’s office and the Obama Foundation did not respond to requests for comment about the photos or the BN Group. Newcastle United declined to comment on the bid or BN Group. The club’s owner, Mike Ashley, did not respond to requests for comment. Singapore-based Hydra X is one of the entities BN Group has said in marketing materials sent to Reuters on Monday is part of its global conglomerate of 23,000 employees.

Hydra X said it had entered “into a joint venture with a related entity” of BN Group to build technology solutions unrelated to financial technology. It declined to name the entity.
