Kraken Opus a tax investment?

Interesting read on the premise of what Kraken Opus started out to be back in 2002.

This article dated 2005, is titled Fowler's magnum opus and can be found on the UK's Telegraph website here

This is my favorite line: 
As the majority shareholder in Kraken, Fowler's stake will be worth more than $50m if, according to plan, KSM floats in the second quarter of 2006.
Whoops.  I guess by 2009, something went a bit off course.  There's the London Gazette's article about Kraken Opus insolvency June 26, 2009 (also seen in other articles elsewhere as a management buyout). 

In case anyone wonders why Goldman Sachs rings a bell in recent memory, well, the SEC (US government agency) just filed fraud charges against Goldman Sachs.  SFGate:  The Goldman Sachs Fraud Explained

NOTE:  Current events about Goldman Sachs is mentioned only because this is a current event in the US.  Karl Fowler left Goldman Sachs back in 2002 and it is not implied he is/was involved in the current US story.
