Description

Ben Delo, a British billionaire and former BitMEX co-founder, has transformed from a controversial figure to a prominent philanthropist, pouring over £100 million into charities after a US conviction. Now based in Hong Kong, Delo champions free speech and fights political correctness. Hes established a discreet hub, the Sanctuary, near Westminster Abbey, offering space to various groups, including right-leaning activists and free speech advocates. Despite not always aligning with their stances, Delos Sanctuary welcomes diverse voices. His philanthropy, focused on countering cancel culture, has funded groups like the Free Speech Union and events by Claire Fox. While some view his Westminster push as a bid for influence, his lawyers maintain its about broad support, not narrow politics.
