79th Group
75 days ago
Finally First Class Metals (FCM) has finally issued an RNS confirming my breaking news earlier that the ponzi fraud 79th Group has gone into administration. If only it had done due diligence before taking its cash and appointing its chairman, now on Police bail, as its chairman.. First says it is also talking to other funders which is good as it is technically insolvent with net current assets of MINUS £300,000 and is burning cash. But who'd want to invest with the administrator now seeking to realise a 41% stock overhang? By way of backstory...

Late last night First Class Metals (FCM) snuck out its calendar 2024 results at no-one is watching O’Clock. Quite simply it was an exercise in denial regarding the ponzi fraud the 79th Group, its 41% shareholder. First Class opines:

There are still folks out there, not least shareholders in First Class Metals (FCM) protesting that all will be well with the 79th Group ponzi fraud and that I know nothing about mini bonds and am talking out of my posterior. I think that if I go on Mastermind, mini bond ponzi frauds might just be my specialist subject if they do not allow questions on the life, loves and songs of Ms Cheryl Cole . One mini bond fraud that I exposed in October 2019 and where, natch, the FCA did SFA to protect investors was the Buy2Let cars, an £88 million fraud.

The deadwood press has served up little coverage of the mini bond ponzi fraud at the 79th Group which this website has been all over. Maybe it thinks it is too small. Far from it as my latest analysis indicates, this is utterly shocking.

Even Trustpilot (TRST) can see the game us up for the 709th Group fraudsters. You need a heart of stone not to weep at the last review which is below. But First Class Metals (FCM) and Novum do not give a FF about vulnerable old folks cleaned out and dying in misery and poverty thanks to 79th.

The amazing thing is that David Webster, the founder of ponzi fraud the 79th Group had been arrested as part of Operation Mold BEFORE he was appointed as chairman of First Class Metals (FCM), First’s board knew this as did scumbag advisor Novum but they went ahead anyway knowing that without the 79th taking its stake to 50% via a placing at 1.7p, First was bust. Today, after the weekend revelations, Webster has resigned with immediate effect.

In allowing the mini bond fraudsters at the 79th Group to take a 50% stake in First Class Metals (FCM) the FCA approved a prospectus submitted by the scoundrels at Novum Securities. Both the FCA and Novum will have claimed to have done due diligence even though Stevie Wonder could see that the 79th was a ponzi. Well how did they miss that the 79th claimed assets had been looked after by a proven serial fraudster Steven Knight via Gibraltar regulated but UK operating Castle Trust & Management Services.

As with all Ponzi schemes once the flow of new monies stops, the cracks in the scam start to appear. In 79th Group case this was initially triggered by the City of London Police announcement of fraud investigation against the 79th group and arrest of the four senior individuals at the group believed to be Gary Webster, his sons Jake and Curtis and the CEO Natalie Bellis. Further signs of the collapse of the 79th group are now starting to appear.

I asked you yesterday to guess who sent the email. 56% of you reckoned it was Natalie Bellis the CEO of mini bond ponzi fraud 79th Group, 19% thought it was Julie “sex toy on expenses” Meyer MBE and 11% thought it was Zak Mir’s very silly sister at Shares Magazine who must have thought our poll was terribly racist. Just 6% thought it was Wendy Lawrence, ex CEO of Totally and 9% thought it was PR woman Sarah McLeod who took such terrible offence at my exposes of her, then, client the scumbags at Celadon. Well….

Can you trust TrustPilot (TRST) as a reader looking to buy a good product? The answer as evidenced by the 79th Group scandal HERE and Alan Green’s poor dog HERE is a clear NO! Now a reader with an MBE provides me with his correspondence showing, once again, TrustPilot protecting crooks because it is the crooks who pay the bills

A week after the City of London fuzz announced that looking at a “widespread fraud” it had launched Operation Mold, arrested and charged 4 employees of 79th Group and asked for other victims to come forward, Trustpilot (TRST) which has been a platform for rave reviews for the fraudsters has posted a warning. Well sort of.

Is that Christine Keeler or Mandy Rice Davies? I can never remember. It makes no odds, 79th is going down big time. The City of London fuzz, who I’ve met and know well, do not launch a formal operation (Mold), raid homes and arrest four chaps without really good cause.

Quoting someone making a comment on a Bulletin Board as a reason to buy shares in your company is quite remarkable. Perhaps this CEO does not realise that Bulletin Board Morons are not exactly qualified asset managers? But there is worse.

The news broken HERE yesterday that the 79th Group appears to have been a scam might not have been such a surprise if the dubious quality advisers who persuaded their clients to lend them money if the advisers or their investees had done some research. The first major red flag is that 79th Grp isn’t registered with the UK regulator, the FCA. So it was conducting unauthorised investment business. How the feck did the FCA then approve a prospectus allowing to to seize control of First Class Metals (FCM). It gets worse.

I will shortly be publishing a piece on the accounts of mini bond fraudsters 79th Group, now the subject of a Police investigation with arrests made. It now owns 50% of First Class Metals (FCM) and its boss is First's new chairman, appointed after the arrests were made public. I name the names of those who have fecked it up, the crooks and explain why First is now toast.

The world of small cap mining exploration is used to scandal. Knaves abound as advisors, financiers and directors. But even grizzled veterans of this scene where shocked and aghast at the First Class Metals (FCM)/ 79th Group scandal exposed HERE last night. So who are the chaps who promise naive investors a safe bond yielding 15% and ten put the cash into shit like First Class? The Webster family own the business but meet the team…

It takes a lot to shock me but events today at First Class Metals (FCM) on the main market are just so truly appalling that I cannot see h9w advisor Novum has allowed a shambles like this to occur. Where on earth is the FCA?
