Shocking footage
We recently received a video purportedly from 2013 taken from the security cameras at Wonga’s headquarters.
The video allegedly shows Errol Damelin berate and then physically assult a member of staff.
We need your help
We are trying to verify the identity and events shown in the video above.
Errol Damelin?
The video timecode states that the footage was taken on the 10th September 2013, shortly before Damelin resigned as Wonga Chief Executive. If authentic, did this assult put pressure on the board to force Damelin to vacate his position?

Could you help us identify your co-worker who was assulted? How long did he stay with the company afterwards and was there any discussion of assult charges being made? Was he paid to remain silent, or (more likely based on the perpetrator know behaviour) bullied into submission?
