Shares in China fraud Naibu (NBU) bounced to 27p at the tail of the week. That is a dead cat bounce. This is a fraud and the shares are worth 0p. But the episode shows just why regulation on the AIM Casino is such a total joke.
On Thursday I showed you evidence from the Chinese press which was damning as to the integrity of Naibu CEO Houyan Lin – see HERE. On ANY other stockmarket in the Western world or on the HK Exchange Naibu would have been forced to put out a statement at once either saying “this is untrue” or “this is true.” If it was the latter Mr Lin would have broken AIM rules and either he or Naibu would have had to go.

Over the weekend I described another glaring failure by the FCA/FSA which has cost 325 investors £25 million. I am told by a, normally sensible, fellow in the comments section that the answer is to give the FCA more money and more resource. How 100% wrong can you be?
Not being a bottom-line worrying member of the private sector, but a branch of the State, the FCA/FSA has a pretty dismal track record when it comes to sensible resource allocation as it is. Just do a google search for Christmas parties, payoffs for failure, average wages, etc. and you will see that this body is just as wasteful as other branches of Government. Give it an extra £100 and it will piss away most of it.
