At 5.45 PM yesterday Denzil Jenkins of the AIM Regulation team called Nomad ZAI. No-one answered so he left a message on its answerphone informing the Nomad that it was to lose its Nomad status at 6 PM that day and that its clients would be contracted at that time with the news. Jenkins followed this up with an email saying that ZAI could appeal but when you are going to lose all your clients what is the point? In fact the events of yesterday are just part of a story which shows AIM in a terrible light as a secretive and oppressive body covering its own failings with scapegoating and showing no regard for natural justice or any sense of fairness.

There was a High Court Ruling this week which concerns attempts by the London Stock Exchange (LSE) and AIM to discipline the firm of ZAI Corporate Finance, a Nomad, or retained adviser, to firms on the AIM casino. The big question here is what dirty linen the Stock Exchange is desperate to hide. I should declare at this juncture that I am an expert witness in this case.

Just when you thought PeerTV (PTV) could sink no lower in the AIM Cesspit it comes up with another shocker. The company is clearly insolvent, it has today admitted to lying to investors which is fraud as it issued shares after that lie and its Nomad ZAI Corporate Finance has formally walked. No-one else will act for it so after one month of suspension its shares will be booted off the AIM Casino. The next point of call will be the administrators and hopefully the rozzers as well.
The farce first. Ossie Weitzman who quit as FD yesterday has unresigned. Good, he will be there when the Old Bill come a calling. However Kavi Dhana

UPDATED: Oh dear, it looks as if another China AIM stock is set to lose its AIM casino listing. AIM regulation has just now suspended trading in shares in China Chaintek (CTEK). Market sources say that Big Ray Zimmerman of ZAI Corporate Finance had enough and quit as Nomad to the Norfolk China Chaintek (CTEK) with immediate effect. The company has made no statement.

The more I look at the collection of investment train wrecks and outright frauds that are the China filthy forty the more I am horrified. Let’s look at the 26th best performer out of the 40, it has only lost 96% since IPO on the AIM Casino. I refer to Northwest Investment Group Ltd (NWIG), a special from Big Ray Zimmerman of ZAI Corporate Finance.

Normally Big Ray Zimmerman of ZAI Corporate Finance, nomad to a stack of China frauds, puts his name to lies pumped out by the Norfolks on the AIM Casino. But by way of change I have been passed evidence of Big Ray telling porkies in a regulatory announcement about his own company.
For what you may not know is that ZAI Corporate Finance is in fact part of a larger group, ZAI Capital Group SA which describes itself as a ”financial holding company the business of which is to invest in investment banking entities globally to create an internationally-focused investment and merchant banking business offering corporate finance, stockbroking and financial advisory services primarily to small- and mid-cap companies.”
But Big Ray does not want shares in this global enterprise listed on the Mickey Mouse AIM Casino. That is for his clients. Instead his own shares are listed and traded on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.

Bear raider: Lucian Miers has written to AIM Regulation about China fraud Gate Ventures (GATE) and has cc'd in ZAI Corpoate Finance which is widely believed to be the only Nomad prepared to consider acting for these shysters now that Roland "Fatty" Cornish has quit in disgust. Lucian's letter does not pull its punches and is below.

The latest AIM casino debacle to show London’s worst Nomad ZAI Corporate Finance as not fit for purpose concerns casino listed Ukrainian dairy products group Ukrproduct (UKR) and it is a true shocker.
I have warned for ages that this company was – given the situation in the Ukraine – just complete junk (see HERE) but just how much junk is now clear and again it shows that ZAI due diligence with client take-ons is not worth a bucket of soiled toilet paper.
On 23rd December a trading statement signed off by then Nomad Cantor Fitzgerald seemed upbeat enough given the fact that the Ukraine currency was going down the toilet as the country descended into open civil war. But at least we were reassured that: “The Group's cash levels and bank facilities are sufficient to meet current debt obligations in the short and medium term”. Hmmm – how does one define medium term?
The next RNS of note was on March 31 when it was announced that it had switched Nomad and broker from Cantor Fitzgerald to big Ray Zimmerman’s ZAI. Now Cantor is not top flight but still it is like announcing that you are chucking, say, the half decent girl next door in order to run off with Norah batty (without the makeup and on a bad day).
You go to big Ray only

There is so much to say in today's podcast but to clarify that in yesterday's podcast when I said monogamy I meant celibacy. I start with a tidy up on Motive TV following on from HERE and then onto Rosslyn Data as a follow up to HERE - I shall be contacting the FCA and AIM Regulation about Rosslyn and its loathsome Nomad Cenkos later. And then onto a special from Big Ray Zimmerman at disgraced ZAI Corporate Finance - a true POS that is Zibao Metals Recycling. Guess where it does its business? And we have the China AIM Norfolk poll results for you.

ZAI Corporate Finance & Big Ray Zimmerman are squarely in the frame regarding the fraud Naibu (NBU) but in my view it is former advisor Daniel Stewart and its then lead Qualifying Executive (QE) Mr Paul Shackleton who are most culpable and I have today written to the FCA and AIM Regulation asking that both be investigated and punished most severely for their role in allowing the continuation of a fraud that has cost investors millions of pounds.
Shackleton (now at WH Ireland) and Daniel Stewart were meant to report to the AIM Regulation team and the FCA any concerns they had about Naibu up until ZAI took over as Nomad on December 12 2014. During the first eleven months of 2014 I showed that Naibu CEO Houyan Lin (now in prison) had an undeclared criminal past and numerous times accused this company of fraud.

I start with a few admin matters. Is Britain corrupt? I have recorded a postcard on that matter on my personal site which you may find interesting HERE. Secondly a couple of corrections on Synety but my stance is unchanged. Then I look at why folks appoint join brokers and then at Patagonia Gold, West African Minerals, China Chaintek and have an explicit warning of bad news to come this afternoon for Big Ray Zimmerman at ZAI Corporate Finance

It is no secret that ZAI Corporate Finance run by big Ray Zimmerman is the worst Nomad in London. If no-one else will represent a client, Big Ray steps up to the plate but I can reveal that this has already landed him in the soup big time with the regulators and I now urge the FCA and AIM Regulation to shut him and his company down for good in an open letter.
AIM relies on Nomads doing due diligence on clients before taking them on and monitoring them after take on. If a client is a “wrong un” the Nomad must report this and stop trading in the shares. But sometimes the need to generate retained income means some Nomads turn a blind eye or worse.
What I can reveal today is that ZAI Corporate Finance has already been slammed by the regulators

Results from AIM casino listed China Chaintek (CTEK) today are risible. The logistics company is based in fraud central Fujian and is represented by London’s worst Nomad, ZAI Corporate Finance which managed to do full due diligence on the fraud Naibu (NBU) even though its CEO was in jail at the time. Enough Red flags for you? You want more?

It is now three weeks since shares in Naibu (NBU) were suspended from the AIM casino pending clarification of its financial position, notwithstanding the fact that it claimed to be profitable, cash generative and to have net cash of £32 million – a multiple of its market cap. In light of this I have again written to Big Ray Zimmerman of ZAI Corporate Finance, Nomad to this fraud because the implications of the fraud are severe for not only Naibu but also ZAI, Daniel Stewart (DAN) and the other members of the Fujian four – China Chaintek (CTEK), Camkids (CAMK) and Jiasen (JSI). Plus for good measure JQW (JQW).
Dear Ray.

I am in full flow today! I start with Kevin Ashton and why you should all buy a ticket for UK INvestor Show on April 18 NOW (HERE) and give thus guy a standing ovation. He is a total 100% hero. I then move onto Gowin New, and then to Mosman en passant (more detail HERE) and then to Bagir ( what i a "good" company, hint - not bagir, and why), Sopheon, TXO and Golden Saint Resources. There is a bit of a discussion about the lack of AIM Regulation and ZAI Corporate Finance.

Aussie based AIM casino listed Mosman Oil & Gas (MSMN) shares were at one stage last year ramped up to 45p on the back of some fairly “aggressive” claims about drilling success. They are now just 4.875p after interim results beg the question of whether this business is insolvent yet?
The Nomad who signed off on the preposterous claims made by Mosman last year is ZAI Corporate Finance which normally specialises in backing China frauds like Naibu (NBU) but I guess it also has time for Mosman.

Grand Group Investments plans to IPO on AIM tomorrow thanks to fat crony capitalist Ray Zimmerman of ZAI Corporate Finance. The usual advisers to China Norfolks are on board: dirtbag lawyers Pinsent Masons and PR poshboy Henry Harrison Topham, I say old chap didn't your grandfather bugger mine behind the bike sheds at Eton? In this podcast I look at the other Red Flags

Shares in the fraud Naibu (NBU) were finally suspended on the AIM casino on 9 January 2015 after the NEDS woke up and requested clarification of the financial position of a company claiming to be cash generative and drowning in cash. How long does it take to check this out? What next?
Having shown conclusively that Naibu CEO Houyan Lin had form as a felon HERE I am in little doubt as to the outcome. But what is taking Naibu so long? A letter to its Nomad, big Ray Zimmerman of ZAI Corporate Finance, follows. When Naibu ‘fesses up the questions start for Camkids (CAMK) and China Chaintek (CTEK).

I am really trying to be helpful here to Quindell (QPP) because I am just such a nice guy and its Christmas and West Ham are almost safe from relegation and that sort of thing. And in that vein I have drafted a letter for Rob Terry to send to Ray Zimmerman, the boss of ZAI Corporate Finance. It reads:
Dear Mr Zimmerman,

As we know Daniel Stewart will stop being a Nomad tomorrow night and so shares in its clients will be suspended from the AIM Casino unless they get a new Nomad PDQ. So today China Chaintek (CTEK) announced that ZAI Corporate Finance had taken it one. FFS – Alarm Bells vicar? Due diligence? A list of ZAI bargepole stocks is needed now.

I am preparing to film a crony capitalism special video outside the "champagne" Christmas party of disgraced soon to be ex Nomad Daniel Stewart. Its staff have publically said they want to beat me up for pointing out that they are wankers who float frauds. Maybe they were lying about that too. I also cover the new Danial Cesspit, ZAI Corporate Finance, Pressfit (DS client), Oracle Coalfieds,Ultrasis, Naibu, IGAS and, of course, Quindell ( a fraud floated by Daniel Stewart).
