So what is Quindell really worth? Probably not 0p but it could be

Shares in the biggest stockmarket fraud for 30 years, Quindell (QPP), are currently suspended at 124p valuing it at around £625 million on a fully diluted basis. But what is it actually worth? Some brokers are marking it down to 0p because of the suspension but it is probably not worth 0p – thanks to the folly of the Aussie prats at Slater & Gordon – but it might just be.

Slater & Gordon paid £647 million for nearly all of Quindell’s businesses. That came in very handy as Quindell was technically insolvent without that cash. The deal has helped to crater S&G’s share price as it grotesquely overpaid for businesses that have simply never generate cash. I have S&G down as one of my top ten shorts for summer – see HERE.

But what of Quindell?
