The fall from grace of money broker Argentex (AGFX) has been spectacular, even by AIM casino standards. Okay it blames Donald Trump for crashing the dollar and folks like champagne socialists Brian Basham and Gary Newman who, poor men, are suffering from extreme TrumpDerangementSyndrome will swallow that line. But after today’s latest bombshell should you? I suggest not and that there should be a full enquiry into the recent audit sign off from Deloitte.

It was, yet again, another month of decline as 3 new companies joined the AIM Casino but with 9 leaving, the market shrunk down to 663 companies. For the 1st quarter that makes 4 admissions and 26 cancellations so getting close to a net 2 companies a week are leaving AIM.

The AIM casino statistics for the month of November show 2 new issues and 7 cancellations for a net decline of 5 companies to 688 companies which is below the 2002-year end number of 704 companies. For the year to date there were 18 new issues but 83 cancellations a net decline of 65 companies.

Today’s announcement by Gamma Communications (GAMA) that it is planning to leave the AIM casino and move up to the Main Market is a positive for the company. According to its AIM admission document it joined AIM on 10 October 2014 at a Market Capitalisation of £165.2 million. Gamma’s market capitalisation now is £1.5 billion with shares up over 700% since its listing. This is what AIM should be about, good quality companies listing which grow in size and reward shareholders and graduating to the Main Market.

The New Year has started with a further decline of a net 9 companies with 2 New Issues and 11 Cancellations taking the market down to 744 companies. That means that “the world’s most successful growth market” now has fewer companies listed than at any time since November 2003. But in 2003 the casino was expanding with a net 50 companies joining. These days the Casino is reversing faster than an Italian battle tank.

For having their shares suspended for more than six months because of a failure to publish interim and full year accounts, Advanced Oncotherapy (AVO) and Live Company (LVCG) should have been booted off the AIM sewer on January 1 and February 1 (today) respectively. But on the “world’s most successful growth market” it seems that rules just do not matter. Or perhaps because it is shrinking so rapidly, the regulators will not boot anyone off. In both cases, the companies are – as things stand – insolvent.

Today’s junior mining disaster on the AIM Casino is Landore Resources (LND) which has announced that its proposed dual listing in Canada and an associated C$5 million placing has been pulled. Just how much of a financial black hole does it now face? And how soon will it fall into it?

November was yet another poor month for the AIM market as for the second month in a row there were no new admissions and for the third month in a row there were 9 departures reducing the number of AIM companies to 760 just marginally higher than at 31 December 2003 almost 20 years ago. It gets worse.

The numbers do not tell a lie and are truly dreadful. In October nine companies left the casino and zero joined. That makes it the worst month of a dreadful year to date which has seen 59 departures and just 12 arrivals. The number of companies on the sewer was 769 at the end of the month, the lowest since early 2003. But there is a more damning statistic.

On 13 October 2014 I wrote a piece: “Peter Hill (MA Oxon) of Global Petroleum – a case study in AIM casino piggery”. Global (GBP) shares were then 3.5p down from 12p three years prior when Hill took over. Hill has trousered millions since then and the shares are now just 0.0675p and that could well be 0.0675p too high for there is a horrible warning today.

When you float a business on the AIM Casino your Nomad will stress to you that the IPO is not the end of the journey but the start and as CEO you are there to grow value over many years for those backing you with their cash. And that brings us to ProCook (PROC) where founder shareholders, notably CEO Daniel O’Neill made £27.4 million selling shares to poor dumb fund managers in November 2021 as the company joined the casino. Today O’Neill has stepped down.

Shares in Ms Willingham’‘s AIM listed Nightcap (NGHT) are the 3rd biggest riser on the Casino today, up 26% at 17p on the back of an article in the Mail on Sunday by Ms Harriet Dennys which, as I poingted out yesterday, is totgal bollocks and a deceipt. It quotes Ms Willingham and the question is has she told a monstrous lie. or is Ms Dennys just making things up? With the shares roofing it I have written to the Oxymorons at AIM Regulation as the company needs to comment urgently. This is a false market.

You cannot say that I have not warned you all so many times that Octagonal (OCT) would end in tears. Corporate Governance and related party deals involving boss John Gunn were shocking and Nilesh Jagatia is, without doubt, the worst FD on the AIM casino. Today came news of a delisting and the shares have collapsed by almost 70% to just 0.7p. I do hope that the Bulletin Board Morons who knew so much better than useless old Tom Winnifrith, were well lubed up.

Shares in FastJet (FJET) have today left the AIM casino so are now untradeable as well as, essentially worthless. Remaining investors face mega dilution or administration or most possibly both. Having warned folks extensively over the years about an operation first set up to smuggle tobacco and which just could not turn a legitimate cent I feel somewhat vindicated. But there is more… Citigate Dewe Rogerson and the half to £1 million of shareholders cash spunked on nothing!

Blur Group (BLUR) floated at 82p and half a decade and a name change later delisted from the AIM casino at 0.23p. In its five years of AIM casino infamy led by CEO Philipl Letts and his ghastly Mrs, Kara Cardinale, who was the Chief Delivery Officer, it was slammed by the FRC for dodgy accounting, had numerous lack of profits warnings and bailout placings and was a case study in value destruction. As a reminder here is the track record during Letts’ tenure as CEO:

With shares in Avacta (AVCT) ludicrously overvalued at 138p the company rightly fears that when the second tranche of stock from the recent placing at 120p is admitted to the AIM Casino tomorrow there will be a line of folks wanting to flip. What to do? Of course, get your evil morally bankrupt PR spinners at Yellow Jersey to issue complete non news and make it sound exciting. Heck Yellow Jersey managed to persuade suckers to pile into mega and obvious fraud Frontera (FRR) so they can push any shite uphill. For a while at least.

I start with a few words on the hard working, courageous and heroic teachers. Then it is Barry the Tit from Turner Pope who cannot read and insults the professionalism of Gary Newman but raises a wider point about how AIM and brokerages operate. Barry is a tit but I regard his employer as Best of Breed although if I had my way the breed would not exist if the Casino was run according to new rules I suggest. Finally a look at the idea from Eric “snotgobbler” Platt of the Financial Times that the greatest living investor, Mr Warren Buffett, might be past his sell by date. Hat tip on the last point to Jim Mellon.

Au contraire on a PE of 60 the risk reward trade off looks dreadful. Yesterday i recorded a video with Boohoo’s greatest critic Matt Earl and that should go live within 24 hours and that will, I suspect, raise many more questions that bulls cannot answer. Now the Sunday Telegraph brings news of US legal action and I publish the Ciurt filings in full below. Ouch!

Attis Oil & Gas (AOGL) formerly Mayan Energy and Northcote Energy has long been a stain on the underbelly of the AIM casino.

Now, following a debt for equity swap and a placing at just 0.0115p, there are 14.7 billion and Peterhouse has been given enough warrants to take the fully diluted total to 15 billion.

Myself and some friends from here, the last village in Wales, walked the track around the 3 farthest fields at the Welsh Hovel and it is 1.1 kilometres long. That means that on June 13 I shall walk the circuit 50 times exactly raising the money Woodlarks needs just to survive into 2021. Today I did three laps as I faced a busy day. Tomorrow it will be ten. Please donate a few quid today HERE. In the podcast I consider in long detail the timeline of major share dealings at AJ Bell (AJB) which just does not look right to me. There are a stack of questions going begging. Then it is onto Eurasa (EUA) and what will happen on Friday. Will SP Angel again show that it will act for anyone or will AIM Regulation wade in to ensure Eurasa is booted off the AIM Casino? I discuss that matter in detail.

I discuss what a moron Jeremy Corbyn is and my anger at an Oxford institution wanting Government cash.

I also have questions for Versarien and its hapless Nomad Bobbie Hilliam of Quindell infamy about the recent spike in its share price. Then I look at Bidstack (BIDS) and investors in denial and finally at Ian Smith and MXC Capital (MXCP) which is leaving the AIM Casino which is NOT what it should do. Smith is in denial too.

Two sources whom I trust told me that Eurasia Mining (EUA) was doing a placing via Optiva. And so I ran the story, first giving the company the opportunity to comment, an opportunity it passed up on. The shares had been falling for a few days and that is normally a good sign, on the insider dealing plagued market that is the AIM Casino, that a placing was underway. So I guess a few folks sold on the basis of the article. Fear not folks, count it as a lucky escape.

Lucian Miers and I have covered Versarien (VRS) many times, looking at the maths as to why the shares, at 79.5p having fallen back a good bit, are still monstrously overvalued. It was one of Lucian’s sell tips of the year HERE and he, and I, reckon that fair value is sub 10p. Eurasia Mining (EUA) is another AIM casino ramp which, on fundamentals, looks to be massively overvalued. I would not be a buyer of the stock even if it fell by two thirds from the current 4p.

As I reveal that it is not only Versarien (VRS) up to no good in this respect but also Eurasia Mining (EUA), I wonder which other shameless PLC rampers are up to no good and will AIM Regulation do anything to stop an increasingly disorderly market becoming an open sewer?

I look at changing brokers at Cenkos (CNKS) and Condor Gold (CNR) and Premier Miton (PMI) and what the AIM Casino demise of SalvaRx (SALV), where managers are talented, says about the dangers of backing a cash shell.

After publication of the company’s annual report the shareholder has written to regulators flagging up the issue.

Anyhow, former BBC media darling, Dragon’s Den flop Piers Linney claimed to be worth £100 million despite the string of business failures we exposed here. At AIM Casino listed Outsourcery, which we relentlessly called out by myself as a POS and which went bust, Linney burned through £21 million of other folks cash. Now, as you can see below, he wants your cash to teach you about how to start and grow a business. Whatever….

Telit Communications (TCM) is a case study on why the AIM Casino is such a casino. Not only does it claim to be running at a cash profit while c$20 million of cash disappears in the first half of the year. But rules are broken and the folks meant to stop that, Nomads such as FinnCrap, do nothing to prevent it happening. And the regulators then do nothing about it. So other folks feel free to offend.

Lib Dem grandee Lord Timmy Razzall may have changed the name of Boxhill to St James House (SJH) but this company which has been mired in so much corruption and fraud remains an uninvestable uber dog even by the standards of the AIM casino.

Nomad Allenby should be walking.

Nor for Nomad and broker Numis or PR parasites Hudson Sandler which will have earned fat fees for the listing. Coke and hookers all round for the crony capitalists.

Update. Two thirds of this podcast stands. The ramping and share dealing comments are 100% fair and very serious. But there is no placing as this podcast suggests - I was "played" as explained HERE. David Lenigas is leading the ramping of Angus Energy (ANGS) shares as you can see below. A placing is on the runway, Then there is the issue of the shares sales by America 2030 of shares ex CEO and Company founder Jonathan Tidswell-Pretorious claimed to own as we reported here. Quite simply what Angus stated in RNS statements which is what we reported is not what happened and it has failed to acknowledge that and what has happened since. Until it does new Nomad and broker Stockdale must surely stop any placing going ahead - there will be one one day. Listen and despair of the AIM Casino.

Not that MySquar bothered to let us know about that until it had got a bailout placing away. On any other market than the AIM Casino that would be securities fraud. Heck, even on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange you'd get your collar felt for that. But on AIM fraud is okay as long as you pay your fees. Anyhow these days MySquar serves up different bollocks.

AIM Casino uber-ramp MySQUAR (MYSQ) 'fessed up on Friday that, as I had revealed 24 hours prior, a placing was underway but it insists that it does not need the cash. Really? I want you to consider a few numbers.
In the six months to December 31 total costs were $1,926,926.

i3 Energy (13E) floated at 55p earlier this week. Its shares now trade at just 34.5p to sell. Even by the standards of the AIM Casino this has been a god-awful IPO. But it is going to get an awful lot worse.

Oh dear, this really is a clusterfuck even by the lowly standards of the AIM Casino. You will remember that AIM listed Glenwick (GWIK), linked via Peterhouse Corporate Finance and Amanda Van Dyke to fellow AIM dog Paternoster Resources (PRS) in a related party snakefest, has had its shares suspended an RTO but there have been a few problemos. Oh dear. Oh dear.

I started the PLC death list in June 2015 with 21 members. The aim is to pick stocks that will either go bust or get slung off the AIM Casino. Each departure requires a nreplacement. With nine new entrants today 40 names have joined this select group. So far there have been two outright failures on my part, Mariana Resources (MARL) and Jersey Oil & Gas (JOG). There was one volte face but I was ahead at volte face point and it was a great call both short and long - Wandisco (WAND), two near kills, InternetQ (INTQ) and Monitise (MONI) and thirteen slam dunk kills: Cloudtag (CTAG), Worthington (WRN), African Potash (AFPO), Jiasen (JSI), Camkids (CAMK), China Chaintek (CTAK), JQW (JQW), Afren (AFR), Daniel Stewart (DAN), Sefton (SER), Outsourcey (OUT - boy I enjoyed that one - Afriag (AFRI) and Auhua. So 13 out of 31 = 40%+ - not bad eh? Arguably that is 15 out of 31 - almost 50%! That leaves:

I will not name the company but suffice to say its management are greedy bastards who have not delivered. Its assets are shite and its balance sheet a trainwreck. The company and all associated with it, especially the paid shrills, merit a one way trip to the glue factory. With those clues I guess that narrows the list of possible candidates down to about 60% of the stocks on the Casino.

When disgraced AIM casino posterboy Mercantile Ports & Logistics (MPL) moves from being a member of the minus 98% club in which it currently sits to being a member of the minus 100% club, I want it known that Nomad Cenkos has been fully aware of massive issues all along and has done nothing other than bank obscene fees. As such we have run a series of letters from a big shareholder to Amber Wood, head of Corporate Governance at Lagos Securities, HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE. Now for letter five which puts fragrant Amber and Lagos, Nomad to the Quindell (QPP) fraud as well, on notice for when the final wipeout occurs that they will be held accountable. This letter has also been cc'd to AIM Regulation - I know they are useless but surely even they must realise that Lagos Securities has "form."

I discuss today's deal which saves her and expaian why it will not save Magnolia (MAGP). I give your hard data on its impact on cashflows and on the balance sheet. This POS is toast but Rita and her Nomad make me want to barf.

Milestone’s (MSG) interim results today were truly appalling as it racked up a loss of £1.1 million. The statement about the "progress" of its range of sub scale crap businesses is - as ever - upbeat. Read the words and you think this company must have done brilliantly. And then you look at the P&L buried beneath the acres of spin and you see that sales in the six months to March 31 2017 were just £22, 237. Down by 56% on the prior year and just pitiful. The ice cream van parked in my street just now generates more sales than this POS which has no right to be on the AIM Casino at all. It gets worse...

House broker Beaufort has published a detailed note explaining why the shares should soar from 5.25p to 11.7p. I should note that Kibo retains a 56% stake in Katoro and we own a few Kibo shares.

Cloudtag (CTAG) has fessed up to dismal results and to the fact that it cannot get a Nomad to act for it and sign off on its lies and thus its shares will be booted off the AIM casino tonight.

I look at Public Services Properties (PSPI ) and what its AIM casino departure says about RTOs and contingent liabilities - which reminds me again of New World Oil & Gas (NEW). Finally I have a detailed look at the strange world of Paternoster Resources (PRS), not a stock you have to own in any way. PS Cynical Bear is not me. Can you see any typos in his articles?

The fraud African Potash (AFPO) has until 7 January ( saturday) to find a new Nomad or its shares get booted off the AIM casino first thing Monday. On the ISDX lobster pot (now known as the NEX lobster pot) it can't get a placing away - for reasons explained in this podcast - so it will be tits up within weeks. That has implications for Blenheim Natural Resources (BNR). Jamie Oliver is blaming Brexit as he shuts six of his over-priced branded eateries. But he is just another celeb tosser don't you think? I look at the real macro headwinds the UK faces. There is comment on Crawshaw (CRAW) and then a very detailed review of Lombard Risk Management (LRM) which is, I reckon a car crash in waiting.

African Potash stated in its annual report that on the ISDX (now called NEX) lobster pot it might be more difficult to raise money than on the AIM casino. I should cocoa. The last trade was on December 29. Liquidity is just nil and the 0.05p offer prize only applies if you want to sell peanuts amounts. If you invested in this fraud just accept that your shares are now worthless as it cannot get awaqy the £600,000 placing it dsays that it needs to survive. So Potash is going to go bust soon. But your cash might not be lost. There is a small chance.

Surprise, surprise. After three months of looking for a Nomad to replace Cantor Fitzgerald who did not want to sign off on any more lies, the FRAUD African Potash (AFPO) has found no-one to take on the gig.

It shows all three are morally bankrupt.The results are analysed in a bearcast special HERE. But I flag up in itw own right a loan Servision has taken from Yorkville which seems to be the new, most expensive loan , in AIM Casino history - at 33% - it is 5 percentage points dearer than the loan the FRAUD African Potash (AFPO) took out from Katrina Clayton, the wife of its FD. Frankly Servision would be better off borrowing on Christian T-W's credit card and splitting the difference.

Its shares must be suspended and its CEO Chris Cleverley deserves to go to prison. And he might just do that. Flip Flop sent out two tweets on this matter yesterday:

Onzima Ventures (ONZ) the "investment company " run by Globo disgraced Gavin Burnell spends most of its efforts doing spivvy short term trades in small AIM casino stocks - its only real long term investment is a 49% stake in a private company N4 Pharma Ltd. Is that the chicken or the egg?

In a mad rush given that it could be booted off the AIM casino on Friday, Andalas Energy (ADL) is - according to my sources trying to raise £2 million at between 0.45p and 0.55p - that compares to 1.3p just prior to suspension. Rule breaking low life dirtbag CEO Dave Whitby has engaged commission hungry/ethics light brokers at Cornhill to bring in the cash, promising them market beating commission plus warrants - a package worth several hundred thousand quid if they can stiff their clients and back this issue. For mug punters the maths just do not stack up.

I am only asking but the much ramped Andalas Energy (ADL) formerly the much ramped CEB Resources has got two weeks to pubish an AIM readmission document or it will be booted off the AIM casino. It would be farewell to rule breaking ramper Dave Whitby, no great loss.

Since March 3 in 25 working days, my old pal Jim Mellon's AIM casino listed FastForward Innovations (FFWD) has released 9 ramptastic good news RNS statements - one every three days. Since 31 March it has released 6 statements - that is to say almost one a day. It is almost as if Jim has been taking lessons from the master, Mr David Lenigas, on the art of the blizzard of ramptastic releases. Yet another placing with your tea vicar? It is also the nature of the releases that concerns me.

A top broker running a reputable institutional brokerage has predicted the next big scandal to hit AIM.

You know that things are tough when even those firms that are paid money to ramp hapless shares on the AIM Casino cannot bring themselves to do so with any conviction.

There has been a deafening silence from Afriag (AFRI) as its shares have moved from the AIM Casino to the ISDX lobster pot. It has repeatedly refused to comment on the problems its key players at its main operating subsidiary, Afriag SA, continues to face. Later today I shall publish documents I have obtained from South Africa which show exactly what those players get up to and as a hint...it is illegal. But for now I ask David Lenigas who is at best a keen promoter of this POS if not a shadow director, what his pal - and fellow despicable smearer of critics - Yusuf Kajee is up to on March 17?

I apologise to you all for allowing AIM Casino listed Eden Research (EDEN) off the hook when it engaged in a panama pump fraud with Terpenetech on 24 August 2015 to keep the lights on and stave off bankruptcy. I missed something - the killer evidence. Now lets go with the full story.
It starts with the creation of Terpenetech on 13 July 2011. You can see from its first annual return from July 2012 HERE that it was established by the late Clive Newitt (a director of Eden) but that he subsequently transferred all of his shares, 50% of them to White Alps Nominees.

PeerTV (PTV) has been a complete disaster story of the AIM Casino. Its first (lack of profits) warning came within weeks of its IPO at 45p per share in December 2010 and in fact related to events prior to the IPO which it had neglected to mention at the time. The shares are now 0.03p. And so it is now time to sack the board at the AGM on Monday. If you own any of the 2.4 billion worthless pieces of confetti in issue here is how to vote and why you should.

It will not wash.

Camkids (CAMK) was a fraud but the shares carried on trading as morons and followers of Sith Lord Zak Mir (see HERE) reckoned they could game the market with short term trades. Then today the Nomad quit and the shares were suspended at once and they won't be coming back. All the short term traders can now sing along with Nigel, Ben, young Steve and myself to the ShareProphets AIM Casino theme song "All the Money's Gone" by Babylon Zoo. So who is next?

And it is another kill for the Sheriff and Deputy Sheriff of AIM – China fraud Camkids (CAMK) is now on death row with its shares suspended as Allenby this morning quit as Nomad with immediate effect. The lying tossers at Camkids could not even tell that straight – the RNS stated “Change of adviser”. It meant, the adviser had quit as it finally accepted this was a nailed down slam dunk fraud. It gets worse.
The token white bloke on the board, Jacques-Franck Dossin has resigned as Non-Executive Director of the Company “as he opposes the financial compensation which Camkids proposes to pay to three of its exiting distributors”. The CFO Ng Pei Eng has also walked with immediate effect.
You will remember that Camkids announced

I never cease to wonder at the stupidity of some of the Bulletin Board Morons. Today’s interims from AIM Casino China fraud Jiasen (JSI) are dreadful – an abandonment of dividend policy despite the company claiming to be drowning in cash, a warning of how it will explain away that imaginary cash. Shares in this company have slumped in less than two years from an IPO price of 82p to 7.25p (up 1.25p today). Yet the morons celebrate.

Of the Filthy 40 China stocks listed on AIM on June 1 2014 or listed since, ten have already been booted off the Casino while shares in four are suspended. Of those three are suspended as the Nomad has quit. They sit on Death Row and the first execution, expulsion from AIM, is scheduled for tonight.
It was Grant Thornton that quit as Nomad for Global Market Group (GMC). It floated at 130p in June 2012 at 130p. Its shares were suspended at 20p-80p. Boy that is a spread and a half. It has since announced

There are numerous reasons why the AIM casino system of regulation based on Nomads fails miserable to protect investors from lying and fraudulent directors. But one major failing is what happens when a Nomad resigns and to demonstrate this I have got my hands on the letter sent by Fox Davies when it quit as Nomad to Sefton Resources (SER) in September 2012 and am delighted to share it with you. Private & Confidential it is marked. Well not any more chaps!
Over the weekend I published leaked emails which demonstrated the moral vacuum at lawyers Pinsent Masons (earning obscene fees acting for Sefton) but also the real reason that Fox Davies quit – quite simply it thought Sefton was misleading investors.

It is now certain, following the shock resignation of Raylene Whitford, that Sefton Resources (SER) will soon be run by Clem Chambers and Mike Hodges at the behest of Brokerman Dan and market abuser Chris Oil.

Mr Oil says he has already secured a Nomad. Mr Chambers seemed less sure when being monstered by Justin the Clown on a recent interview. So who will act for Sefton? We ask you to vote in our latest reader poll. Deadline Sunday Midnight:

It is all very well to ridicule the Daily Telegraph’s top ten AIM shares to buy to dodge IHT as I did yesterday HERE but could you do any better asks a reader. Possibly not, I don’t really like the AIM Casino but I am always up for a challenge so here goes.
The list below is my basket of ten – I hot link each one to our coverage here on ShareProphets which is in some cases fuller than other. Three are in there since we own them and thus it would be odd for me not to include them ( that is 1-3). The others are there with capital preservation (this is IHT dodging we are talking about) in mind although I hope for dividends and growth from the lot.

At no-one is watching a clock yesterday AIM listed Hotel Corp (HCP) directors published a document seeking to thwart boardroom change at this disaster story and save their grubby tax free pay packets. Sadly for them I have obtained a series of emails which show that the document contained a series of lies. Worse still I have obtained accounts showing how 22% shareholder and ex Nomad to Hotel Corp, Shore Capital has coined it in from this vehicle, making millions, as shareholders have lost everything. The directors and Shore Cap oppose Yeoman and wish to pursue another venture similar to the last one which cost shareholders everything but made Shore millions ( and paid the useless board too much for doing sweet FA). I expose the lot of them and am furious.
This podcast contains bad language as I am livid - this story shows everything which is wrong about crony capitalism in the City and on the AIM Casino. I also accuse Messrs Short and Craine of lying to their investors and invite them to sue me for libel as I have the documents which show that my claims are 100% verifiable. See you in court bitchez!
Any shareholder in Hotel Corp should at once contact Yeoman to pledge support at the forthcoming EGM - this will be a proxy fight and everyone should back Yeoman against the lying crony capitalist Derek Short. Please contact Yeoman today on marcus@springtimeconsultants.co.uk

Crowe Clark Whitehill is the UK auditor of a number on AIM casino china frauds and its associate in Fujian, Crowe Horwarth Associates really gets fingers dirty. We know that the blatant long term fraud at Sorbic (booted off the casino), Naibu (booted off the casino) and Camkids (soon to be booted off the casino) as well as at Jiasen and JQW totally escaped its attention. In light of that we bring you the latest Financial Reporting Council review of Crowe.
We suspect that the case files it reviewed did not include any of the China frauds, oops I meant clients. Perhaps next time the FRC should have a butchers at one or two of our Oriental friends.

Earlier today we demonstrated quite clearly (HERE) why Camkids (CAMK) has committed accounting fraud and why the statement of yesterday just does not add up. We have been saying that this company is a fraud for months and months and that is now clear to all. The local auditors of Camkids and the now delisted fraud Naibu acted for two other AIM stocks, one of which is Jiasen (JSI). It is also a fraud and we call for an immediate suspension of its shares as well.
We demonstrated clearly that there are numerous Red Flags for Jiasen HERE
This is a company that – like Naibu and Camkids – claimed to be drowning in cash yet mysteriously also borrows money at punitive rates. We have no faith whatsoever that accounts signed off by Crowe Horwath following the abject failures to report contingent liabilities or bank debt at Camkids and Naibu respectively. We are far from convinced that the stated cash position at either firm – as signed off by Crowe Horwarth – was in fact true.

The fraudster Rob Terry of Quindell (QPP) infamy is a busy guy as he prepares for the inevitable dawn raid by the Serious Fraud Office as a precursor to a trial and a custodial jail sentence. His latest posting on the website of his new vehicle Quob Park is quite simply delusional.
Terry discusses the merits of getting a public listing HERE and argues that it would be better if Quob Park did not list. Hmmm. We can think of another good reason or fifteen why a listing is not going to happen. How about the fact that Quob’s founder (Mr Terry) is the subject of a SFO Criminal Investigation? Or the fact that PWC has come out and said that the accounts he prepared at Quindell (and even its IPO document) were plain fantasy? Or that Mr Terry misled the poor lambs at KPMG in relation to prior audits? The list goes on. And on. And on.
It is just inconceivable that a Rob Terry entity could gain a public markets listing. Even the AIM casino would say no and no Nomad in town would touch Terry with a bargepole.
Then Terry goes onto to argue that Quob’s biggest investment – Daniel Stewart

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.”

Disgraced Timothy refused to return three phone calls on Thursday as did his colleagues. Well that is £5,000-£10,000 of shareholders cash well spent is it not?

Naibu (NBU) was a fraud from the day it joined the AIM Casino in April 2012 thanks to disgraced Daniel Stewart (DAN) but a careful analysis of the subsidiary accounts of the City Crony Capitalists shows the stink is even worse than we imagined.
We demonstrated that Naibu was a fraud from pre IPO on a number of occasions but notably when exposing the undeclared criminal record of CEO Houyan Lin (HERE) and also the undeclared debts on the balance sheet (HERE) In fact the whole company was a fraud from top to bottom which is why CEO Houyan Lin has been in prison since November last year (not that Daniel Stewart warned investors) and why the shares have now been booted off the casino altogether.

Almost entirely without revenues, the company was none the less able to raise c$40 million from institutional investors in the two years leading up to its IPO on December 5 2013. The last of those fundraisings was at £1 a share so when it listed this company had a market cap of £102 million.

But even at 69p the fact is that it remains a truly rotten investment as it prepares for its next placing. And here is why.

Cientifica (CTFA) was today formally booted off the AIM Casino after six months of suspension but shareholders will be asking where did all the money go and why is the board not pursuing this matter?
The company was meant to invest in graphene investments and was run until last September by Tim Harper and Tim Baldwin (of RAM and TXO infamy). The new boss Tim Godwin who accepted the “hospital pass” and took over late last year stated explicitly on 18 December:

Shares in AIM Casino listed Management Resource Solutions (MRS) were suspended yesterday as it admitted that monies it needed to complete an RTO had not arrived, a statement which begs the question as to who is its supposed lender Halcyon Capital Management Pty Ltd. Oooooo Errrr Missus.
I have picked Management up on its corporate governance failings before (HERE) but this episode may well prove the ultimate humiliation for what has been a dog of an IPO. Management announced on 5th March that it was to but an Aussie Company (D&M) for cA$7 million.
That looked a bit toppy in itself given that D&M recorded a post-tax profit of just A$145,000 ( down from A$587,000) in its last financial year. An historic PE of 47, yum yum

The competition for which shitty little AIM Casino POS oil stock is guilty of the greatest over promotion of its prospects in 2014 was a stiff one. But among the clear front runners was Mosman Oil & Gas which hyped its dull prospects in Oz and NZ to all and sundry. The shares flew to 44p. They are now 4.75p-5p just days after a “keep the lights on” placing to raise half a Bernie at 5p. This is my third sell tip for Easter.

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).

At one level a triumph. Quindell threatened me with libel action becuase I accused it over overstating its profits ahead of and after its rescue bailout in November 2013. I accused it of fraud. It has today said those profits will be restated. It thus raised money on a fraudulent prospectus and folks should go to jail. Those who bought at 660p+ on the basis of those bogus, fraudulent profits and other lies should be demanding that Rob Terry be prosecuted becuase they will never get that money back.
On the other hand the shares will not go to 0p so an apology. Quindell admits - as I asserted - that without the Slater & Gordon deal it is bust. But S&G is committing corporate hari kiri. I look at where its shares are going (down) and where Quenron will head from here.
My critics seem to think it would be a good thing if I retired. I have a clear message for them. In exposing fraud and lies at Quindell I am now vindicated. I have numerous other AIM Casino scalps over the past two years and I want more. And so I shall continue to go after your pals the fraudsters including the uber serial criminal Mr Robert Simon Terry.

You may not remember Vyke PLC. It disappeared in 2011 from the AIM Casino and went bust shortly thereafter. But it raised millions of pounds from investors thanks largely to the efforts of disgraced crony capitalists Daniel Stewart – and yes Paul Shackleton of Naibu infamy was involved as his name appears on RNS releases – and it was a fraud. The FCA was alerted but did it do anything? Was Daniel Stewart censured and if not why not? At this stage I pass onto a reader who recounts his experiences:
I first heard of Vyke when some muppet spammed an unrelated Interactive Investor discussion board with the usual “this is a ten bagger” rubbish, so I took a look at the company. Shares were then about 80p and the house broker, Daniel Stewart, had published a ‘research’ note with a price target of 540p. It took me about two hours to work out that at best Vyke was a bag of nails and might well be a fraud and I said so on that discussion board.

TXO (TXO) has – after two months of searching – failed to find a Nomad to act for it after the resignation of Northland. Consequently it will be boosted off the AIM casino next week.
I have spoken to boss Tim Baldwin who insists that most shareholders will actually welcome this as AIM is an expensive place for microcaps to raise money and maintain a listing. He may be right in that regard, I am no defender of the crony capitalists of the City who fund their coke & hookers lifestyles with bloated fees for small caps.
But I very much doubt that the small shareholders on the TXO register introduced as a result of bucket shop funding after bucket shop funding will be quite as relaxed

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?

I revealed yesterday how Houyan Lin of Naibu (NBU) has been rotting in prison since November 2014 yet his AIM casino shares carried on trading till January 9 2015 and there has been no RNS. Despite this – as I revealed a week or two back, AIM is working to get more China companies to list on the casino. Think again fools, now I can tell you about a second AIM CEO from China who has been arrested.
If you are a shareholder in Camkids, Jiasen or China Chaintek (with Naibu, the Fujian four) you might be wetting your pants right now. Fear not, your bosses have not been arrested. Yet. But you are bonkers hanging onto the shares until those Norfolks unravel.
So who is under arrest now? It is Li Yuanqing formerly the boss of AIM listed Qihang (EBIV).

Yes you read the headline correctly. The CEO of an AIM listed company has been languishing in prison since mid-November and no-one has been told about it.

AIM is owned by the London Stock Exchange and regards itself as the junior market for the world. I regard it as a casino and its regulation department headed up by Marcus Stuttard, the self-styled Sheriff of AIM, as the biggest joke in London. I now have a shocking revelation for you which exposes the conflict of interest which will destroy what little credibility the casino still has.
AIM (i.e. the LSE) makes its money simply by having as many companies listed as possible. It does not matter if the companies are good companies which make money for investors or are frauds which steal money from investors, AIM just wants companies to list. And to stay there. And with that in mind the idea that it can regulate itself is like asking the fox to take care of the chickens.
In the last month we have seen the Naibu scandal hit the front page of the FT. As we

I have already explained in my Bearcast why Keith Bush, the CEO of AIM casino POS Northern Petroleum (NOP) should be taken out and strung up with piano wire for the contempt with which he has treated the owners of this company where he has been rewarded for abject failure. But today’s RNS requires further comment as it is a classic in omnishambles obfuscation.
Less than a month ago Northern was goaded by my good self into using a trading statement. It stated what year-end net cash was and stated that output on 27 December had reached almost 500 bopd and that once well 4 in Canada was on-stream it would be at 450-500 bopd. That was a downgrade but still impressed a few punters.

We have many, many times accused Bulletin Board darling US Oil & Gas (USOP) of being a total fraud run by a serial liar Brian McDonnell. Wee Brian has huffed and puffed in private to deluded shareholders about taking legal action against me but he has not done so because he is a proven liar and his company is a proven fraud and the little shit knows it. The latest news from the GXG market where USOP shares remain suspended really shows what a casino AIM has become.
GXG, to its credit has today ordered a full independent due diligence report on this POS fraud checking whether any of its claims made are actually true. You can see its release HERE.
When that report comes in GXG will decide whether US Oil & Gas is to retain a listing or not. It is a racing cert that it will not because this is a fraud

I shall turn to the matter of the forthcoming Rangers FC (RFC) EGM later but the high-handed statement signed off by its adviser Mr Paul Shackleton of WH Ireland yesterday should be viewed in light of a shock revelation I serve up today about his own actions (or inactions) regarding AIM listed China fraud Naibu (NBU).
In the Rangers statement Shackleton throws mud at rebel shareholder Dave King, suggesting that his criminal record might make him unsuitable to be director of an AIM casino stock. There is no doubt that in his efforts to evade tax in South Africa, Mr King broke the law and was no angel. So Shackleton would not act for a fellow with a dodgy past (or present)? Really?

Last week the founder CEO Charlie Muirhead stepped down as CEO. No reason was given but it was spun to one journalist that he was leaving with a job well done. Methinks not. A full explanation of his stepping down is needed.

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.

Fox owns quarries which are largely in Kosovo, an area once in Serbia where with the complicity of the West the ethnic Serbs were ethnically cleansed by the Albanians. The latter have no historic claim on the area (it was never part of greater Albania) but when it came to the vilification of the Serbs we in the West did not really care about our oldest allies in the region. Rant over. The new regime does appear relatively honest so when a bent local official tried to seize a Fox asset soon after the IPO he was sent to prison and the asset quickly restored. None the less being in Kosovo has not been seen as a massive plus point by AIM casino investors.

But the Crony Capitalists who have grown rich on AIM, the Nomads, brokers, PRs and boards really do not like hearing this unpleasant truth. They actually think I am a bad guy for rocking the boat and as such wanting to beat me up is acceptable.
In 2014 the Crony capitalists have had a good year. Investors on the AIM Casino have had a shit year. I explain why the system is flawed, why the City does not understand the anger we peasants feel and how we peasants ( ie investors) need to start taking concreate steps to make our anger known.

As we know Daniel Stewart (DAN) has lost its NOMAD licensed. Not because it floated a series of frauds which it did. But because its staff, its Qualifying Execs have all quit. So the individuals who earned whacking bonuses for floating frauds can now float frauds elsewhere. This is shocking – there is no personal sanction for them. But this means that Daniel Stewart’s PLC clients must now find a new Nomad or they will be booted off the AIM Casino. Carnage ahoy, two down, who is next?

Just to try and explain what TNAV is but also to take issue with a brewing scandal on the AIM Casino which is the way that audit forms have failed to review carrying values in a most grotesque if not negligent manner. My case studies are three companies now at death's door all of which have boasted of mammoth asset backing: Sefton Resources, Beacon Hill Resources and Quindell and I reference recent conversations with my pal Sam Antar.

Okay the company is dormant. It does nothing at all. But at least it is honest about that fact unlike most companies on the Casino.
It has net assets of £1 (which is a lot more than many companies on the Casino if their accounts were not quite so bent). And the name…Snake Oil Ltd. Perfect. This company could pursue a buy and build strategy taking over so many companies on AIM and with its name it would be open about what it does.
Sadly I do not think it is floating but if Cenkos is looking for a new client to replace Quindell when it goes bust…

Shareholders in AIM casino listed Beacon Hill Resources (BHR) were almost wiped out yesterday and may still face total wipeout. Who is to blame? What can shareholders so? What should they do? I am sorry but I can offer little comfort here in a podcast on this matter. But I should say that the auditors (BDO) and board have a few questions to answer

For those who think the directors of the 5 AIM Casino Companies doing business with Equities First Holdings LLC took out a loan here is a bit of required reading. And if Cenkos thinks that the stock "loaned" by Rob Terry of Quindell (QPP) has not been dumped ages ago then its chumps should read this too.
3884 days ago
Mr 2+2 can = 5 is my opponent. I seek to expose fraud on the AIM Casino. Rob Terry has engaged in wholesale fraud from the day Quindell (QPP) joined AIM via a RTO on April 28th 2011. Within weeks he was buying a worthless shell company from his lawyers Blake Lapthorne for £150,000 in order to inflate Quindell’s profits by hiding legal costs. And TMC Southern was selling shares gifted to it by Quindell in order to fund bogus purchases from Quindell which ended up being responsible for more than 100% of Quindell group profits in 2011. The frauds and lies have got bigger since but now the game is up as lies are exposed and the shares are tanking. So what is Rob thinking now?
Mr Terry knows that the game is almost over. At some stage within months the shares will be suspended or at 0p and Mr Terry will be “helping with enquiries” – it is just a matter of when as I explain graphically HERE.

The AIM Casino scandal involving Equities First Holdings LLC is going to get an awful lot worse. Heads will roll with Optimal Payments (OPAY) and IGAS (IGAS) firmly in the firing line but directors at Cloudbuy (CBUY), IQE (IQE), Angle (AGL) and ,of course, Quenron (QPP) also exposed. For the latter, at least, this is probably not their greatest concern. The sad truth is that none of the six have said enough and ALL need to clarify the clarification statements. Until they do all six firms are uninvestable. This and specific crmes are examined in this podcast special.

I really do not care about the POS company that is Touchstone Gold. It is typical of the detritus at the bottom of the AIM Cesspit. But its RNS today is a shocker - it is grotesquely misleading. Behind it lies a tale of management incompetence and greedy and venal crony capitalists on the AIM Casino who care about nothing other than lining their own pockets and funding the coke and hookers. Shareholders are just there to be screwed. All of the guilty parties are named and shamed and the lies exposed in this scorching podcast. Yes. I am angry.

At the weekend we asked you which of the most worthless POS and in some cases fraudulent stocks on the AIM Casino would be the first to go to 0p or be suspended. It ended up as a three horse race with all three front runners having just one thing in common – the involvement of Daniel Stewart, always a red flag.
Daniel Stewart shares are already suspended so for it to win it has to go bust. Fingers crossed. Anyhow the results were:

Yesterday afternoon I revealed how AM casino failure of a company Independent Oil & Gas (IOG) was trying to get away a rescue placing. Its shares were, as I went live, 15.5p and barely traded. I also revealed that even though it had slashed the offer price to 10p it was struggling because, let’s be honest, this is a dog. The reaction of the company has been despicable, forced to fess up but aiming to mislead investors.
My story was explicit and caused the share price to slump to 13p. The company had to put out a statement and so at 6.13 PM (no-one is watching O’Clock) it announced:

The alarm bells for Ultrasonic first rang when it appointed Daniel Stewart to consider a dual listing on AIM. No actually that last sentence was, like the numbers in the Naibu annual report, completely made up. It was, like the Naibu reported balance sheet, just a joke.

And this is why the AIM casino is such a farce. The interests of fat cat directors are simply not aligned with those of the owners of far too many companies, that is to say mug punter shareholders. Maybe they cannot be arsed to read Annual Reports but they should and they should be revolted and revolt. Meet Peter Hill, the CEO of casino listed Global Petroleum (GBP).
Peter Hill (MA Oxon) joined in September 2011 when the share price was just over 12p. Before I turn to what happens next I am always instinctively hostile to those who put the words MA Oxon after their names as Mr Hill does everywhere. I went to Oxford too, but it is just another university. Why tag it on to everything? And while we are about it please do not think that Mr Hill has worked to gain a masters. Like me he graduated with a BA. However at Oxford you can after a few years go back and pay a tenner and go through another daft ceremony to get an MA. At other universities you study to get an MA. At Oxford you buy one for a tenner. It is typical of the conceit of the place.

We do not produce 72 page Gotham City Research style dossiers when we go after crime on the AIM Casino. Our style is to unpick what is going on bit by bit.

Kalimantan Gold (KLG) has been a perennial jam tomorrow POS stock on the AIM Casino. Directors fees all round. Advisors fees all round. Placing after placing after frigging placing as it hypes up one target, raises cash, moves the goalposts and them raises cash again. All the time it is private investors who get screwed. Let me tell you about the placing it failed to do earlier this week.
The shares raced ahead to 8p – I think some folks paid even more – on news of a “maiden inferred resource” on the BKM copper project. This company used to be about to make it big in gold then it was coal then it was, heck I just lost track years ago. But an inferred resource means jack shit.
Anyhow the stock raced ahead and early this week when the shares were 7.9p the calls went out to every spiv in town – “placing at 5p.” Sadly

Daniel Stewart (DAN) earns its living as a Nomad and broker to AIM listed stocks. That is to say it charges fat fees for advising them on how to play by the AIM rules, for listing them and for raising money for them.

Today Daniel Stewart’s shares have been suspended.

Yes there have been dozens and dozens of fraudulent Chinese companies listed on AIM, Frankfurt, in NY and Canada and we dumb gwaelos of the Western investing public have had enough. What don’t you dumb mothers understand about that? I am sorry if you feel tarred with the same brush unfairly but heck that is the territory.

All business awards ceremonies are a load of cock where those obsessed with personal PR, lobby and self-promote and then slap themselves on the back. I shall be turning my fire on the AIM awards very shortly. But as it happens I think the Black business awards make a serious point, but this year they may well lose all credibility as Piers Linney of AIM casino disaster story Outsourcery (OUT) is up for a gong.
It is surely not a bad thing to make a section of society that economically underachieves (Afro Caribbean and African youth) realise that there are alternative role models than moron soccer players and other celebs. Being an entrepreneur is a good thing – it creates jobs and wealth. As such I have some sympathy with the objective of these awards. But Piers Linney, entrepreneur of the year?
I know he is on telly (Dragon’s Den) and I know he CLAIMS to be worth £100 million. But the hard facts are that – as exposed HERE – his business career has been one of a string of utter trainwrecks, creating no jobs – as almost every firm he established has closed down – and losing folks stacks of cash.
Outsourcery was floated on AIM in May 2013 since when it has sent almost £20 million to money heaven. It is

“The first six months of this year have not been without challenge, but it is important to remember how much this young and fast growing firm has achieved in the same time” – so says Ken Olisa OBE, the chairman of Outsourcery (OUT) the IT firm run by Dragon’s Den star and serial business failure Piers Linney. Yes Ken – those who backed the AIM Casino IPO in May 2013 have now lost 84% of their dosh with the shares at 16p. You have achieved great things. How about you arrogant fuckers just say sorry for once. You screwed up. Show some humility.
The numbers are predictably dismal. And as ever Piers bangs on about his £4.5 million refinancing package which of course was nothing of the sort. £1.5 million of costs savings were reannounced, £1.5 million of loans were extended and £1.4 million net of costs was raised from punters. Had it not got the cash it would have been tits up time.

But it is not all bad news: the lawyers, brokers, nomad, accountants and PRs assisting this POS will – after commission today – have now made more than £1 million from the firm.

There is so much wrong with AIM. China frauds seem to list at will. Companies can lie without censure. Folks like Sean Nutley at Silverdell and Rob Terry at The Innovation Group (where is he now BTW?) just “get away with it. Investors have completely lost trust in the Casino. It is a joke. The LSE could change it simply by getting the hapless bunch of complete cretins at the AIM Regulation Team to enforce rules, to kick off piss poor Nomads who float crap (Daniel Stewart) and to publicly name and shame. But instead it tinkers with the rule book. Top broker Andrew Monk of VSA weighed in this morning with this comment:

From the team that brought you Naibu (NBU) we also have China Chaintek (CTEK) which released its interims today and it goes without saying that they do not stack up either. My target price for the shares is 1p (the value of the cash dividend on offer) but since it will probably be the last when the stock goes ex my target price will be slashed to 0p.
As a reminder, team Naibu/China Chaintek is dodgy serial floater of China frauds Zedex Capital, the Nomad which floats utter shite from China and the UK and which brought Quenron to the AIM Casino (Daniel Stewart) and PR spinners for most of the China Norfolks, the upper class twits at Abchurch.
Chaintek, is like Naibu and the two German China frauds to have emerged in the past three months, from Fujian province China. They all make shoes. Chaintek is in logistics and its main customers are claimed to be shoe producers.

MoPowered Group (MPOW) raised a gross £3.64 million at 100p when listing on the AIM Casino on December 18 2013. The shares now stand at 20.5p valuing this POS at just over £3.2 million. And while it says that it is going ahead with a £3.5 million fund raise you’d have to be mad to subscribe as this has red flags all over it. Death is all this deserves.
Of course £3.64 million did not go to the company. The admission document reveals that the cost of the IPO and fundraising was a staggering £700,000. That will have paid for an awful lot of hookers and coke at offices of brokers, Nomads, PRs, accounts and lawyers across the City last Christmas. It is a staggering sum. So where are the shareholder’s coke and hookers?
Where are they? Oh don’t be stupid. We shareholders get no coke and hookers. This is AIM. This is crony capitalism. Our money is simply transferred to the Crony Capitalists of the City. The coke and hookers are all for the Square Mile, not for the peasants. We are just there to pay for them.

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.

Yesterday evening I was doing a bit of frigana chopping at the Greek Hovel and I heard a rustling in the bush I was approaching. I know enough by now to realise what was making the noise and beat a hasty retreat. But the stench of corruption on AIM tells me where the real snakes operate. It is a cesspit for crooks and crony capitalists who systematically transfer wealth from the many (mug investors) to the few (themselves). I have had enough of this for one day and am heading back to the fields to face real snakes. They are less loathsome. There is a solution but the London Stock Exchange does nothing.

I noted in my earlier article HERE how Zedex Capital is involved in listing a stack of shit companies or indeed outright frauds on AIM. That is why anyone holding shares in Naibu, Camkids, China Chaintek, Asian Citrus and Asia Ceramics which are all, pro tem, listed on the Casino should sell now. If you doubt me here is another warning: Asia Distribution, what happened next.
The pattern is that the Chinese company floats, raises cash from gullible Gwaelos in London, Chinese investors sell in the aftermarket and then, to cover up the fraud, the POS on AIM agrees to a takeover at a price which sees all UK Investors lose money. But you ask what happens next once AIM investors are not looking any more? Asia Distribution agreed to a 52p a share bid to end its AIM charade. Here is the 2011 Regulatory filing from the acquiring company. Weep.

I think that it is now 100% clear that Naibu (NBU) is a fraud. It is only a matter of time before it goes to 0p or is booted off the AIM Casino. But where did it come from and is it unique? Meet Zedex Capital. What follows will shock you. It says so much about how corrupt AIM and the City advisors working on it have become. It is a scandal.
Zedex is not regulated by the FCA but acts in London and says of itself:
Zedex Capital is dedicated to bringing quality Chinese companies to the London Stock Exchange, in particular the Alternative Investment Market (AIM). Our core business is grooming high-growth and sufficient-size Chinese companies to ensure that their business strategy, financial soundness, and corporate governance are adequate for an Initial Public Offering (IPO), so that the transaction can be executed smoothly and swiftly once all professional advisers are on board.

In fact its a sell. Here’s why.
First a little reminder of the history of this producer of Oranges and to a lesser extent bananas. It listed in AIM in 2005 at 112p a share. Now let’s wind forward to December 2013 when someone purporting to be a value investor a Mr Marcel Springorum wrote:

Shares in African Eagle (AFE) were suspended from the AIM Cesspit today because as an “investing company” it has failed in twelve months to…er make an investment. In six months’ time if it has made no investment it will be booted off the casino for good. At the suspension price of 0.28p it is valued at £2.5 million but worth NOTHING. Who said markets were efficient?
Of course if you read recent statements from the company you’d have thought that there was bright upside. In light of recent events would chairman Kola Karim like to justify these statements made via RNS on 18th June 2014?

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.

The rules of AIM are pretty simple and are based on the underlying principle that you cannot tell a blatant lie to investors. To do so is arguably market abuse and it is certainly a breach of AIM rules. If the AIM Cesspit is to have any credibility those who break the rules must be punished and punished publicly. I have therefore written this morning to both the FCA and to AIM Regulation asking both to launch an urgent investigation into both Quindell PLC (QPP) and its Nomad Cenkos after today’s PT healthcare RNS farce/lie.
The letter follows.
Dear Sirs.
As a great supporter of the work you do to retain the high standing of the AIM casino I feel duty bound to bring to your attention the activities of Quindell PLC and its Nomad Cenkos. To issue statements via RNS or in an annual report which are not true

For the AIM casino to work, allowing investors to trust PLCs to tell the truth, every statement they issue in an RNS must be verified by the company’s Nominated Advisor (Nomad). Nomads like Roland “Fatty” Cornish of Beaumont Cornish are paid fat fees for doing this work. If they fail to verify an RNS so that a company lies to investors they should be censured by AIM regulation and, in an ideal wold, prevented from acting as Nomad in future. In that vein I have now issued a third request to the AIM Team to investigate Beaumont Cornish and Fatty in particular regarding lies told in 2012 by Digital Learning Marketplace.
