EXPOSE: £125m IPO and 2 fund raises built on flagrant lying

I have covered this company since its IPO on January 31 2025 with a market cap of £125 million. I have been utterly bearish for reasons oft explained but thanks to Winnileaks I can now show the outright lie on which the IPO and two fund raises have been based. Its shares should be suspended NOW and the financial rozzers called in.

Can you short shares in the Smarter Web Company at a joke £157m valuation? AQSE says no but you can!

The Smarter Web Company (SWC) share price is wholly indefensible. At 83.5p the market cap is £157 million and it has cash, or I suspect bitcoin, worth, perhaps, £12 million. Its core web design business is a nothingburger making insufficient profit to cover even a fraction of PLC costs. So, it needs the bitcoin price to jump to c$1.37 million to be even fair value. It won’t happen. But the heavily traded shares are on AQSE which says that you cannot short shares on it. But you can.

Cardiogeni: £120m up in smoke in less than 4 months, First Sentinel disgraces itself (again)

I warned that this IPO on January 31 at 143p was a £125 million disaster in waiting. Advisors First Sentinel would act for Satan’s bastard love child with Julie Meyer and this was drowning in red flags from the getgo as I pointed out HERE. After a £650,000 placing at 17.3p a share yesterday the shares are now just 6p, valuing this crock at £5 million. £120 million nominal value up in smoke in less than four months, well done First Sentinel. You are scumbags.

AQSE Regulation and the Truspine fine: this is just silly and unfair on shareholders

Back in August 2023 AQSE Regulation fined Truspine (TSP), a dog run by a bunch of scoundrels who have now been ousted, £215,000 for a series o rule breaches. But, of that fine, £165,000 was suspended.

Truly insane, the lunatics have taken over the AQSE Asylum with a £50m spoof: do Peterhouse staffers believe in the day of judgement?

A long time ago I had a friend, Tony, who was a financial journalist and a Marxist. His favourite phrase was that “the only problem with revolutions is that you run out of lead.” I think of that as I look at the latest madness at The Smarter Web Company (SWC), now valued at £50 million and where mug punters are going to be trashed. Those crony capitalists responsible deserve to meet a grisly fate when the glorious revolution, led either by we true capitalist libertarians or by revolting workers, takes place.

The tale of V22: explain why we mug punters have not been mugged?

V22 was a Plus (now AQSE) listed company that invested in contemporary art. I quite liked its fragrant founder Tara Cranswick who seemed to know her stuff and so put in a five figure sum. Today I conclude that although I will probably get my original cash back after more than fifteen years, I have been mugged. Can anyone explain why I am wrong?

Valereum - £19m investment deal collapses but something looks very wrong here, I assume ASQE Regulation on the case

Actually I do not. AQSE Regulation has shown over its failure to deal with the prospectus fraudsters still running Eight Capital Partners (ECP) that they are just as useless as the Oxymorons at AIM regulation. I bet both are pretty hot on sniffing out directors who might have made a sexist or transphobic remark but in terms of stopping white collar crime? Forget it.

Readers tips of the year prize contest No 2, Easter Version

I realise that I am yet to send out the 2023 and 2024 readers tips of the year prizes. But two bottles of Greek Hovel Olive oil (January 2025 harvest) have now been poured and I aim to send them this week. Meanwhile, after the Trump market upset our writers are penning 8 new tips of the year (Easter to December 31) so why should readers not have another contest. As ever the prize here is Greek Hovel olive oil.

Investment Evolution Credit PLC – dead canary, time for AQSE and The Toke to pull the rug

Investment Evolution Credit (IEC), floated just sixteen months ago by Liam “the toke” Murray at Cairn, at 80p with a business model and management that has failed on three other markets and which has lied repeatedly, formally announced that its deal proposed deal to buy Credit Canary Ltd is dead:

Investment Evolution : you could not make this up, another CEO quits and is the Canary dead?

The fraud brought to AQSE by Liam “the toke” Murray at 80p continues to entertain. It is hard to know where to start with te shares 1p to sell, 14 months after the IPO.

Kerboom: Max Rets to delist: another member of the White Zamboni crime family falls on its sword

Notwithstanding the loyal support of its advisor, Liam “the Toke” Murray at Cairn, AQSE listed MaxRets Ventures (MAX) is to delist. As it has almost zero cash and negative net current assets it is hardly a loss to the world of capitalism. Of course, the Toke should have quit as soon as it became clear that Dominic White was guilty of multi million pound prospectus fraud. But, these days the Toke seems to be cool with fraud.

EXPOSE: Cardiogeni: More than £100 million up in smoke within ten days of IPO! Funding claims are BOGUS!

I warned explicitly that the AQSE IPO of Cardiogeni (CGNI) was a scandal waiting to happen “Some folks have no shame: First Sentinel floats a con”. Ten days later I have been vindicated. This episode leaves AQSE and adviser First Sentinel disgraced and with serious questions to answer.
Cardiogeni is another company from the stable of struck off dentist Ajan Rejinald who has featured both here and I Private Eye many times. He is a scumbag.

Zak Mir: the cheque from Africa is in the post…oh you mean it’s not?

Two years ago exactly, the Brown Envelope Man, Zak Mir announced that his AQSE listed shitco Lift Global Ventures (LFT) was lending £750,000, most f its balance sheet to a technically insolvent company where Lift’s chairman Roy Kelly, was a director, Trans-Africa Energy Limited. Trans had a murky past as exposed on this website but Zak’s silly sister from Shares Magazine probably thinks its racist to point that out.
