One of the most notorious bankers of the Asian financial crisis recently stopped running a major fund at Intellectual Ventures, Nathan Myhrvold’s $5 billion investment firm, after posting some poor financial returns.
Andre Lee was a managing director of Invention Development Fund, an approximately $590 million fund he claims to have co-founded and set up to partner with inventors to develop inventions with an emphasis on a technology transfer program in Asia. Lee was widely blamed for almost single-handedly bringing down one of Asia’s best known investment banks, Peregrine, in 1998, by lending a large part of its capital base to a troubled Indonesian taxi company with links to the then ruling Suharto family. It was one of the big bank failures of the Asian financial crisis.
According to a judgment issued by a judge in Hong Kong in 2009, Lee was disqualified from being a director of a Hong Kong company for 4.5 years. The disqualification order was made as part of proceedings started in 2002 by Peregrine’s official receiver, who claimed that Lee’s “failings were so serious as to make him unfit to be concerned in the management of a company,” according to a court document. Justice Susan Kwan said in the same document that Lee had “a significant share of the responsibility for the failures and flaws in the business” and that his “conduct had fallen below the standards of probity and competence appropriate for persons fit to be directors.” The disqualification banned Lee from taking part in the management of any Hong Kong company and all companies that carry on business in Hong Kong, says Godfrey Lam, the lawyer who represented the official receiver in the case, potentially putting a fund with operations in Asia in a precarious position.
