Richard Jennings Out but not Over

Arguably the only man in the corrupt world of small caps more hated than myself Richard Jennings is being counted as out by various Bulletin Board Morons as it emerges that he has sold his Align Research outfit. The morons reckon that the outspoken professional Northerner s finished. Sadly for them…

Poor little Zak Mir, always the victim….

Still not coming clean about the legal claims for a six figure sum against his company Lift Global Ventures (LFT), a claim that could almost entirely erase its balance sheet, the brown envelope man Zak Mir is the ultimate victim. Educated at Harrow and London University until he dropped out he explained at the weekend how he is just not part of the City establishment.

Disgraced Zak Mir associate Dave Richards MBE of Wandisco infamy: the Forfeiture Committee Writes back

You may remember that I suggested that for using company funds for personal gain and for trousering $1.1 million thanks to an employee fraud, I suggested that Dave Richards of Wandisco (WAND) infamy should lose his MBE. I wrote to the Forfeiture Committee about the new chairman of brown envelope man’s Lift Global Ventures HERE. And now, I have a response. The issue is live!

BREAKING: Craven House Nomad walks, shares suspended, big questions for the auditor of Brown Envelope Man

Oh dear, oh dear, I fear that Mr. Lee Lederberg of Edwards Veedeer (UK) Limited, the man who signs off the ludicrous accounts of Zak Mir’s Lift Global Ventures (LFT), is in a spot of bother following the suspension of shares in AIM Casino listed Craven House Capital (CRV). I shall be writing to my good pals at the FRC later today.

EXPOSE: Serial penny share fraudster Ron Bauer convicted again in US but still operating in UK: will the FCA finally act?

Leopards do not change their spots and last week, London based Ron Bauer was yet again convicted of penny share fraud in the US Courts as you can see below. He was sentenced to 20 months in the slammer and forced to hand over $4,377,228.74. The chances of the UK Regulator putting him or known associate Adrian Beeston, the financial backer of Zak Mir, out of business? Zero.

Eurasia & the market makers rape BBMs yet again with another placing into a Telegram Group pump

There were Frank and Britain’s Buffet, Mark, itching to buy shares in Eurasia Mining (EUA) as they raced ahead to almost 8p just a few days ago, I urged them to resist the temptation. So what if a company with sub economic assets, a track record of lying, no cash and a death spiral in play was capitalized at £200 million +, the shares are going up and up and the Telegram groups say they are going higher. After the pump…

Brown Envelope Man’s Lift Global Ventures, interim loss as Miriad’s revenues and profits decline

There will be tears before closing time at the Carlton Club today as its esteemed member Zak Mir drowns his sorrows after his Lift Global Ventures (LFT), which is about as global as my vegetable patch, publishes dismal results. It seems as if customers, that is POS AIM and Standard List stocks, are seeing through Zak’s pumping operation as being pointless.

Wellnex Life – a cash guzzling perma loss maker you should avoid as it joins the AIM sewer

On 21 March 2025 Wellnex (WNX) announced its admission to trading on AIM having raised £5.22 million at 31.75p capitalising this already ASX listed company at £21 million. The day before it paid brown envelope man Zak Mir to do a fawning interview masquerading as journalism, a sure sign that you should avoid the shares, now 26.5p, like the plague.

Video: Brown Envelope Man and Blackbird

Naturally Zak Mir does not disclose that his financially challenged firm Lift Global Ventures (LFT) is paid to promote the shares of Blackbird (BIRD), the company that is so disruptive and cutting edge that in its 28th year has yet to make a profit in any single accounting period. It is surely the ultimate AIM producer of jam tomorrow and with Zak’s kiss of death, things can only get worse. If you have seven minutes of your life to waste

On 8 January Victoria (VCP) put out a trading statement confirming it was on track to meet forecasts. With the brown envelope man among those promoting the stock it was already rallying but this RNS saw the shares hit 143p by the 13th. Today they are 80p. There are three explanations:

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.

Why is Totally not a Total zero?

In the past, and at much higher levels, Brown Envelope Man has promoted this company with his usual voodoo analysis. At just 8.75p it is now capitalized at £18 million. Surely the involvement of Mir is enough of red flag?

Letter to FRC: please investigate Zak Mir, Lift Global Ventures and Lee Lederberg of Edwards Veeder

Hapless accountants Edwards Veeder were put on notice by myself HERE that I’d be watching the 2024 annual results from Brown Envelope Man’s Life Global Ventures (LFT). Christmas came early for me with a dog’s dinner of an effort from Lee Lederberg and I have written to my good pals at the Financial Reporting Council

BREAKING: Lift Global Ventures – deep dive into 30 June 2024 numbers, its off to the FRC I go!

Zak Mir’s Lift Global Ventures (LFT) waited until late in the day Thursday to publish its annual report on its website so I have taken a deeper dive into its numbers. Lift has a structural problem in that even if you ignore the investments write offs of £750,000 in Trans Africa Energy and £67,106 of other mostly investment losses it still generated a loss of £159,046 on revenue of £476,506. So, its ongoing business is not sustainable as a public company because of the cost base.

Valereum another body blow in Gibraltar, just shut this POS down

Shares in Aquis listed Valereum (VLRM) remain suspended on the Aquis lobster pot at just 3.85p. Founder Richard Poulden has scuttled away and the former rampers in chief David Lenigas and brown envelope man Zak Mir who told us the shares would hit either 100p or 200p have gone strangely silent. The company is technically insolvent. Today another body blow…
