The judge in Canoo’s bankruptcy case has blocked an attempt by a mysterious financier to disrupt the sale of the EV startup’s assets.

While Garson had told the court he was willing to pay as much as $20 million for Canoo’s assets, he missed the deadline to formally submit that bid. Garson also never made it clear where h
