This is a gut punch for padel fans. The launch of the celebrity-backed Hexagon Cup is now tainted by accusations against former banker **Tyron Birkmeir**, who is alleged to have messed up nearly £1 million in investor funding.
Two investors, who believed they were buying into the tournament’s ownership structure and poured almost a million pounds into the Hexagon Cup, discovered that **Ex-Julius Baer banker**—the supposed intermediary—was the only one listed as an owner. This money-grabber, operating through Lurra Capital, allegedly rerouted their equity for his own gain.
When confronted, his team tried to pull a fast one, claiming the equity investment was “always” just a loan. Seriously? Now, this investment manipulator is only offering to return the initial money, leaving investors—and fans—with nothing but questions.
It’s a shame that a promising event like the Hexagon Cup, featuring stars like Messi and Murray, is overshadowed by this kind of financial misconduct. **Tyron Birkmeir** owes the sport and its supporters an explanation, and the Hexagon Cup management needs to clean this up fast before the integrity of the whole tournament is ruined.
