Hamak Strategy: surely this is an RTO and a prospectus is needed? Where is the FCA on all of this?

I shall be writing to the FCA shortly but today’s announcement from Hamak Strategy (HAMA) beggars belief. Quite clearly its proposed #35m double death spiral funding will trigger a change of business, an RTO, and thus it needs to get a prospectus approved by the FCA to go ahead. I have offered the company’s advisors a chance to comment but they appear to have declined. Let me explain the problem.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast No 3: Predator, I just don't believe you

I ponder what sort of investor bought bitcoin in treasury stocks as the bitcoin price slumps again. The stench of Gavin Burnell of Globo infamy surrounds B Hold (HODL), I also look at Smarter Web (SWC), now almost 90% off peak ramp and London Bitcoin Company (BTC) as it faces a fiat crisis.Then Predator Oil & Gas (PRD), Hemogenyx (HEMO) and Marechale Capital (MAC)

Is London Bitcoin Company generating any spare fiat at all? The knaves take to X

Trouble in shitcoin alley: is it a crypto winter coming or a crypto ice age or just a (big) bump in the road?

During the past 24 hours the price of a range of cryptocurrencies including bitcoin and Ethereum has tumbled sharply. Bitcoin itself is now back below $110,000 having been $125,000 just a couple of weeks ago. Yet folks like my pal Dominic Frisby still insist that it is a store of value when compared to fiat. Can the bulls explain one thing to a silly old dinosaur like myself?

BREAKING: PennPetro accuses David Lenigas of misappropriating company funds says will back FCA enquiries 100%!

Why has the FCA not demanded that Lenigas stands down, pro tem, as chairman of the London Bitcoin Company (BTC) until these allegations are fully investigated. The case presented against him by Pennpetro (PPP) where he used to be chairman looks pretty much open and shut to me.

The RNS that screams at you that the Dave Lenigas abomination the London Bitcoin Company is running out of fiat

If your company was generating cash you would not be dumping shares you hold in another company when they trade at near all time lows. But that is exactly what The London Bitcoin Company (BTC), run by David Lenigas, is doing.

I start with a couple of Sharestock issues that make me angry. then more on how Comrade Brian Basham is trying to take the Georgina Energy (GEX) scandal forward. It also makes me angry. Then Zak Mir's dirty little secret that could sink Lift Global (LFT), Eight Capital Partners (ECP), with Liam Murray asleep at the wheel ( again), will David Lenigas 'fess up with a London Bitcoin Company (BTC) trading statement and Smarter Web Company (SWC) and the increasingly poor vicar Andrew Carter.

Yes, both insisted that a dual listing of their shares on the OTCQB would improve liquidity and attract US investors. So how many shares in London Bitcoin Company (BTC) and Optibiotix (OPTI) traded in the US yesterday? I discuss this, Ariana (AAU) and the failings of the FCA on World Chess (CHSS) and Roquefort (ROQ). I start with an important message for Sharestock attendees and a rant about Bank Holidays.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast No 2: Will David Lenigas be transparent as London Bitcoin shares collapse still further?

I predict the timing and reason for the end of the bitcoin in treasury bubble and predict how grifters like Andrew Webley of The Smarter Web Company (SWC) will react for they will know I am right. I ask if David Lenigas will be transparent if and when London Bitcoin Company (BTC) has to sell shitcoin to pay fiat bills and suggest that time is already upon us.I look at Boohoo (DEBS) and not as a bull and then at Eden Research (EDEN) which is surely lining up another bailout placing.

FCA Opens Retail access to crypto ETNs so what is now the point of Smarter Web and its peers?

One argument pushed by grifters like Andrew Webley of The Smarter Web Company is that the inability of retail punters to buy crypto ETNs ( Exchange Traded Notes) meant that bitcoin in treasury companies had a USP. But the FCA says that is going to change. And that surely makes Smarter Web and its peers pointless.

David Lenigas promote London Bitcoin now 90% down in 37 days as Valereum dumps: shares still hugely expensive

You cannot say that I did not warn everybody that David Lenigas run bitcoin in treasury spoof London Bitcoin Company (BTC), formerly Vinanz, would end in tears. Perhaps some Jew haters would rather I did not term Lenigas a promoter and serial destroyer of value, allowing him to fleece new punters. But I did warn and warn again. In 37 days the shares have collapsed from a peak ramp 55p to just 5.5p bid. Look at the Lenigas tweets from 37 das ago and all the way up and down and feel disgust. You will be revolted and may even pity the lambs who liked or retweeted his words with such enthusiasm, lapping up the hopium and dreaming of being rich.

I start with holida reading here at the Greek Hovel which will horrify Euroloon Jonathan Price and others. Then a rare defeat at the FRC over Versarien (VRS) but surely AIM Regulation should be acting. Then the stink about today's disastous fund raise at David Lenigas spoof, the London Bitcoin Company (BTC). Is the bitcoin in treasury bubble bursting or the Lenigas bubble bursting? Regulators should be all over this. How many fund raises has it had since a January prospectus saying it had no need to raise for 12 months? I also look at CapAI (CPAI), surely placing ahoy!

David Lenigas mugs mug punters again as book build flops

Bears shit in the woods. The Pope is always a Catholic and David Lenigas always mugs private investors. The key point to remember with the London Bitcoin Company (BTC), formerly Vinanz, is that Big Dave paid just 0.25p for his shares less than two years ago just before its IPO. When the bitcoin in treasury bubble totally bursts and Dave has moved onto his next ramp, if he can sell at 3p or 4p he will have made out like a bandito. Mugs who were paying 55p just a couple of weeks ago will be wiped out. Plus Ca Change. Today a placing has flopped at just 13p.

At 35p, Vinanz (BTC) is now capitalized at more than £100 million, £115 million to be precise. Lenigas paid just 0.25p for his shares less than two years ago. The man is a genius…er.

Pennpetro may survive: this issue is whether ex directors including David Lenigas go to jail or get a stockmarket ban

I was a bear of Pennpetro (PPP) from the day that it came onto my radar when Big Dave Lenigas joined as chairman of what was an insolvent crock of shit. The shares are suspended amid clear evidence of fraud and a financial crisis. Now it looks as if Pennpetro will survive although shareholders are going to get diluted to buggery and will lose their shirts. The big question is whether the FCA will investigate whether Lenigas and ex CEO Tom Evans profited from fraud and will they do anything.

Of course, the big undeclared (until the last minute) related party deal was the sale of Valereum’s (VLRM) bitcoin mining machines to the Lenigas spoof Vinanz (BTC), originally posited as an arm’s length deal.

Since Lenigas and his pals like Richard Poulden got in at 0.25p they don’t care but instead the company serves up another bullshit spoof.
