Hong Kong hedge fund Tor Investment Management has raised concerns about the hasty sale of Nexus Energy. It went into voluntary administration in June 2014 after rejecting an offer from Seven Group Holdings. It is thought that the deadline for the sale process is 31 July. Tor is concerned that Seven is using funding deadlines to force the sale of Nexus before other potential buyers can properly conduct due diligence
