Oliver Curtis’ path to redemption is a story of grit, resilience, second chances, and, ugh, private money. Of the kind only a princeling of Sydney’s eastern suburbs would have much chance of pulling off.

correction

An earlier version of this article stated that Merrill Lynch became a backer of Firmus in January. This is incorrect. It is a custodian of another investor’s stake, rather than an investor itself.
