Byline Times reports Farage's financial conflicts in Stack-Direct Bullion deal

Byline Times revealed that Farage has received £685,500 from Direct Bullion as a brand ambassador over 18 months, per his Register of Members' Financial Interests entries. The report notes that if the acquisition proceeds, Farage's fees would come from a subsidiary of a crypto company he part-owns, and that Direct Bullion's marketing has predicted unrest under a Reform Government—a scenario that historically boosts gold values.
“A bitcoin firm in which Nigel Farage holds a stake is set to buy the gold dealer that pays him as its 'brand ambassador' – further entrenching the Reform UK leader's financial interests in the cryptocurrency world.”

Farage’s last payment from Direct Bullion before his Stack investment was £135,000. The first one after it, 81 days later, was £270,000, described as covering the same amount of work. Why did his fees appear to double?

If the purchase does proceed, Farage’s brand ambassador fees from Direct Bullion would come from a subsidiary of a crypto company he part-owns, giving him an arguably greater incentive to boost cryptocurrencies
