Millionaire WANdisco founders’ wealth evaporates after tech firm rejoins stock exchange

Tens of millions have been wiped from the wealth of the founders of WANdisco after shares in the scandal-hit tech business plummeted 96% as its stock was re-admitted to trading for the first time in months.

The fortune of co-founder and former CEO David Richards, who once had a net worth of £38 million according to an Evening Standard analysis, has been all-but wiped out as his stake in the business is now worth just £920,000, while co-founder Yeturu Aahlad has seen his shares sink in value from £48 million to £1.2 million.
