REUTERS/Henry NichollsApril 8 (Reuters) - As the fortunes of Richard Branson's Virgin Orbit were crashing to Earth last month, a little-known investor called Matthew Brown appeared offering a $200 million rescue.
Virgin Group, which owns 75% of Virgin Orbit, also declined to comment for this article.
The group is providing financing to Virgin Orbit as the satellite launch company seeks a buyer in bankruptcy.
Asked about this, Brown told Reuters he structured deals to protect investor confidentiality with a preference for "laying low below the radar."
Virgin Orbit filed for bankruptcy on Tuesday.
