Why Companies are able to lie on AIM – the Failing Nomad System

The way that the AIM Casino is set up is based on one great enormous conflict of interest and that is why companies can and do tell lies to investors – that is the Nomad (Nominated Advisor) system.

A company must, under AIM rules, have a Nomad. If its Nomad quits the shares are suspended. If no replacement Nomad is found within a month the stock is booted off the Cesspit for good. The Nomad must verify every statement that is put out by a company and ensure that it complies with the rules. As such it is the Nomad who is at the front line of regulation and it works FOR the LSE.
