The fallen Taiwanese shipping magnate Nobu Su is appealing his 21-month prison sentence.
Su, the head of TMT, was jailed in London at the end of March for contempt of court, having been detained by British police in January over a long-running battle Su had with Polys Haji-Iannou, the head of World Tankers Management, over an FFA deal that went sour in 2008.
Among the 11 grounds that Su is appealing regards the money he spent on The Outsider, a vanity project documentary that premiered this year, which the Guardian newspaper in the UK gave a withering two-star review, saying it “never quite succeeds in persuading a general audience that this is anything other than a story of a wealthy guy who is now less wealthy than he was, and less wealthy than he intensely feels he should be.”
