High speed stall

Situation: light business jet cruising at max speed indicated ( say > 0.8 M ) at maximum altitude ( say 40.000 ft) encountering suden (wake) heavy turbulence.
Aircrfat will most probably bank heavily 70 degrees and stall.

But what would be the likely follow up ?
Spin ? if yes will it be easily recoverable ? bank stall = chances to go inverted ? idea about the subsequent loss of altitude ?

Please this is not for sensational news but to provide correct info during a debate on wake turbulence at high altitudes with VLJ. Thks in adavance .
