Trevor Milton, grundlægger af elbilvirksomheden Nikola, har solgt godt og grundigt ud af sine aktier i det omdiskuterede selskab, skriver Finans på baggrund af en indberetning til de amerikanske børsmyndigheder, som Financial Times har fået fingrene i.

I alt har Trevor Milton tjent 49 mio. dollar på at sælge ud af sine aktier i virksomheden. Det svarer til 309 mio. kr.

Tilbage i sommeren 2020 blev Nikola omtalt som den nye Tesla, men allerede et par måneder senere, begyndte det at gå ned ad bakke for virksomheden, der blev beskyldt for snyd og fusk, hvilket resulterede i, at Trevor Milton måtte gå af som formand og administrerende direktør i virksomheden.

Anklagerne gik blandt andet på, at Nikola havde vildledt offentligheden med præsentationer, der endnu ikke var nået så langt i udviklingen som påstået.
