BrewDog founder faces data protection complaints over emails to former investors

United Kingdom | Earlier this year, Tilray Brands bought BrewDog's brand and some assets. This deal left BrewDog's circa 220,000 crowdfunding shareholders with no financial return. In hopes of buying BrewDog back, BrewDog's founder James Watt submitted a bid to Tilray Brands via his new venture – Second Best. As part of this process, the founder contacted BrewDog’s crowdfunders, aiming to offer equity in Second Best to those who had held a stake in BrewDog.
