The Delaware Court of Chancery on Wednesday appointed a monitor to oversee the sale of Oxbow Carbon and ordered CEO William Koch to pay tens of millions of dollars in damages to two private equity firms for derailing a deal for the energy company in 2016.
The order from Vice Chancellor J.

According to Wednesday’s ruling, Koch will have to cover the investor’s expenses for lawyers and deal advisers and make up any lost value resulting from the delay.
