Listed fintech Wisr – a “for purpose neo-lender” whose website explicitly clarifies it is not a payday lender – has in the past week sacked its CEO and had its chairman temporarily recuse himself.
The latter was unavoidable, given ousted Wisr chief Anthony Nantes is the brother of Wisr chairman John Nantes. And Anthony Nantes’ bad week got worse when he was on Saturday night charged with stalking and refused bail. He has yet to enter a plea.
