My understanding is that Zahawi was trying to claim that he gave all his YouGov founder shares to his dad for some undefined amount of assistance that was undocumented and went unnoticed by the other founder/employees. It meant that he never had a stake in the business that I imagine completely dominated his life for a number of years. It's inconceivable that the arrangement was anything but artificial.
