“It would be nice if Mix could answer questions”

He was long considered a genius in Stockholm’s financial world. But his halo has been tarnished after Northvolt’s bankruptcy. Harald Mix, the venture capitalist, billionaire and co-founder, is being questioned like never before.

A lone worker in a yellow reflective vest collects trash next to the large gray factory building. Otherwise, there is not much life at Northvolt’s battery plant in Skellefteå.

No trucks in the area, no employees on their way to their shifts. The factory officially closed on Monday. Work clothes and computers were returned.
