According to news reports, hundreds of UK-based employees have fallen victim to the infamous collapse of unicorn Builder.ai as they remain unable to access redundancy payments.
The AI startup filed for bankruptcy in the US but failed to appoint administrators in Britain, meaning around 200 former UK staff are ineligible for government redundancy support.
