He never said it was sold. That was his gut feeling after speaking. Never were the words spoken about it being sold.
His words and i quote
I had Fytton on the phone 3-8-22 with another CEO trying to buy GEGP. Guess what? The CEO told me that he couldn't buy it because Fytton implied it was sold.
Never did he say it was a gut feeling and yes he did state that they implied it was sold ....
