UB40's Financial Empire Collapses Following Insolvency of Management Firm
What happened
British reggae icons UB40 built a substantial financial portfolio through massive record sales during the 1980s and 1990s, including their album Promises And Lies, which topped global charts. However, the band's property empire dissolved after their self-managed record label and management firm, DEP International, collapsed into insolvency. Liquidators and tax authorities subsequently moved in on personal real estate assets.
