TREE NEWS update: A Singapore court has appointed KPMG as interim judicial manager of iron ore trader Radiant World, after creditor Mizuho Bank withdrew its proposal for rival Deloitte to take the role. Court documents show Radiant’s lawyers opposed Deloitte, citing a conflict of interest because the firm audits London-listed Glencore, which the trader is suing in Singapore for $2 billion.
KPMG Named Interim Judicial Manager for Singapore Iron Ore Trader Radiant World
The switch to KPMG matters less for the appointment itself than for what it reveals: the Deloitte conflict objection tied the insolvency process directly to Radiant's $2 billion claim against Glencore, its auditor. That intertwining means creditor recoveries and litigation strategy now move together, with Mizuho's withdrawn proposal signalling creditor preferences can shape who runs the estate. Whether the Glencore suit survives judicial management — and how KPMG treats it as an asset — is the open question.
