Individuals commit fraud not companies. We have lost that understanding over the past 30 years and that is the great failure of regulation for the banksters and the AIM casino. I discuss this concept and then go on to call for suspensions of individuals as well as trading in the shares for four companies: Quindell, Tern, Alpha Returns and Worthington.

For the fourth time I have written to AIM regulation asking for a formal investigation into whether Roland “fatty” Cornish and his firm Beaumont Cornish carried out its supervisory duties adequately in the period June-September 2012 with regard to Digital Learning Marketplace (DLM), now Alpha Returns (ARGP), a firm then run by crony capitalists Angus Forrest & Bruce Leith who are now running Tern PLC (TERN) into the ground. This is prompted by the shock whistle-blower letter from July 17 2012 which I published in full yesterday, HERE.
That letter was sent to Fatty.

Earlier today one of the deputy Sheriffs of AIM, Comrade Somerville, flagged up massive issues with the CVA agreed by Digital Learning Marketplace (DLM), now Alpha Returns (ARGP) under the watch of Angus Forrest and Bruce Leith, the two men now running Tern PLC (TERN), into the ground. But Deputy Somerville misses out a couple of points which just add to the scandal which, in a just world, would mean Forrest & Leith swinging on a corporate noose this week.
Some might say that CVAs are complex and that Forrest & Leith could be forgiven the odd error (albeit some pretty massive ones). But that would be to ignore their track record.

Tern (TERN) chairman Angus Forrest is fleeing the country. Okay, I exaggerate, he is on a boat to France as he prepares for a week’s holiday. How do I know? Because he has just called me. Forrest tells me that what I am about to publish is confidential. But since it is explosive does he think I give a FF? Come on DLM (now Alpha Returns), Forrest, Bruce Leith go send me a lawyers letter if you want.
The Sheriff of AIM is not scared by such threats and Angus Forrest and Bruce Leith, as of yesterday, are officially “in sights” - see HERE
On 14th August 2012 Digital Learning Marketplace run by Angus Forrest and Bruce Leith issued this RNS:

The AIM Regulation Team have confirmed to me that they are already looking into my first formal request to investigate Nominated advisor Beaumont Cornish and its head honcho Roland “Fatty” Cornish. I have today formally requested that the regulators open up a second investigation into what appears to be yet another blatant failure by Fatty to do the job for which he is so generously rewarded.
This all related to a placing undertaking by Digital Learning Marketplace (DLM) , now Alpha Returns (ARGP) in August 2012. The Placing Document stated explicitly that if £300,000 was not raised then any money invested would be returned to investors. Fatty signed off on that placing document. However a subsequent RNS which Fatty again signed off on revealed that less than £277,000 was raised yet all that cash was kept by the company This appears to be a blatant failing by Fatty in his duties as a Nomad and in light of this I have asked the AIM Regulation Team what act of censure it proposes to take against the firm. The letter follows below:

I have now twice demanded that Tern PLC (TERN) sack Angus Forrest and Bruce Leith because of statements made when they ran Digital Learning Marketplace (DLM) - now Alpha Returns (ARGP) in 2012. But it gets far worse…
To read my first demand for the heads of Forrest and Leith click HERE
To read my second demand for the heads of Forrest and Leith click HERE
The issues are that the two men were responsible for RNS statements that were quite frankly lies. The first (August) concerned an unconditional contract that was in fact a conditional contract. That act of misleading allowed a placing to be undertaken. The second was a September AGM statement which was upbeat. But at the same time the CVA of DLM’s main operating unit was already underway, the contracts had gone and DLM itself was heading towards a CVA.
This morning I have been told by a reliable source

I outlined on Friday why Tern PLC (TERN) must fire its chairman Angus Forrest and his gopher sidekick Bruce Leith NOW. Quite simply they have been shown to have committed corporate malfeasance and to have lied to investors at the last POS company they were in charge of – what was then Digital Learning Marketplace (DLM) and is now Alpha Returns (ARGP). I have written – as you can see HERE - to the Nomad (John Wakefield at WH Ireland) and Non Exec, Laurence Read ( a totally honourable man) demanding that they fire the two crony capitalists at once. But it gets worse.

Nigel Somerville has earlier today (HERE) published the most extraordinary evidence of corporate malfeasance at what was Digital Learning and is now Alpha Returns (ARGP). The two directors exposed by Nigel now run Tern PLC (TERN), another sub scale investment company on the AIM Cesspit. I demand that they be fired NOW!
The FCA and other watchdogs are fully aware of the evidence that Nigel has gathered and investigations are underway. The Non Exec at Tern Laurence Read is an honourable guy and he could choose to wait for the official regulators to act. However the evidence is now out there in the public domain. The Sheriff of AIM has a noose at hand and suggests that Read and Nomad John Wakefield of WH Ireland use it. Forrest and Leith must go NOW!
In that vein I have just written to John and Laurence as follows.
Dear Laurence & John.

We seem to be having a bit of a run in with Roland “Fatty” Cornish of Nominated Advisor Beaumont Cornish. First there was the little matter of New World Oil & Gas – see HERE. Now we come to events at what is now Alpha Returns (ARGP) and matters from 2012 revealed by Nigel Somerville earlier today HERE
All in all it looks as if Fatty is making a strong late run for the AIM Cesspit 2014 advisor of the year award judged by The Sheriff of AIM, details of which can be found HERE.
But there are other strong contenders and so pro tem I have formally asked the AIM Regulation Team to investigate the events of August and September 2012 and to establish what verification fatty undertook on statements going out in his name. My letter follows.
Dear Sirs,
