ShareProphet’s coverage of Amazing AI, in order of popularity as it departs the AQSE lobster pot. GOTCHA!

As Amazing AI (AAI) today departs the AQSE lobster pot with its shares, listed at 80p just two years ago, having been suspended at 0.27p, I look back on all the articles I have published about a bezzle run by a man who tweeted that he wished my mother had killed herself earlier. In order of descending popularity...enjoy.

Amazing AI – one last victory before Christmas for the Sheriff of AQSE

Yesterday I not only wrote to AQSE Regulation about Amazing AI (AAI) but actually spoke to the team regarding the bastard creation of vile scumbag Paul Mathieson. Today a very quick win for the Sheriff of AQSE.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast No 1: Victoria and Valereum blow ups - 3 common factors, excluding my perma bearishness

I start on AI and job losses. Then I look at 2 companies with big news today: both begin with V, both will end in tears and both have been promoted for reasons one can only guess at by brown envelope man, I refer to Victoria (VCP) and Valereum (VLRM).

Genflow and the JP Morgan Healthcare Conference: red flag

Genflow Biosciences (GENF), the company floated with the backing of twice convicted penny share pump and dump fraudster Ron Bauer still refuses to answer questions about a 4 million Euro grant it claimed to have been awarded on 22 October 2024 by the Wallonia regium of Belgium. The cash was meant to fund three year’s work.

Bullshit alert from Dave Richards of Wandisco infamy and the Brown Envelope Man, Zak Mir

AQSE uber dog Lift Global Ventures (LFT) has announced that its AGM due to be held tomorrow is, at the last minute postponed to an unspecified date. Presumably that new date will be outside the six months post June 30th year end when an AGM should be held although I am not sure what the implications are of that. However, the excuse given is 100% bullshit

EXPOSE: Lift Global Ventures dramatic slump in revenue and large fair value gains and losses not explained in non compliant results announcement

Lift Global Ventures (LFT) published its final results to 30 June 2025 yesterday. It also published another RNS about its proposed pivot to artificial intelligence as Dave Richards MBE of the Wandisco fraud infamy seized control from brown envelope man Zak Mir, which I will cover later.

BigGib, David Burton and the wretched Zak Mir exposed again as Amazing AI flounders

I exposed the shameless rampers pushing shares in Amazing AI (AAI) up to 1.5p and beyond a couple of weeks ago. The shares are now 0.325p following disastrous news today. I wonder if disgraced BigGib who calls anyone who exposes his antics out as an Islamophobe, David Burton of Total Market Solutions or the wretched brown envelope man Zak Mir still own any shares. I suspect not.

EXPOSE: 80 Mile JV signed – you really cannot make this shit up

Spivs like David Burton of Total Market Solutions and the disgraced brown envelope man Zak Mir are drooling all over Rod Mcillree’s latest cracking deal at 80 Mile PLC (80M) formerly Bluejay Mining. The RNS is signed off by Nomad SP Angel of the Mysquar (MYSQ) fraud infamy so some folks think it must be meaningful. 10 minutes desktop research should beg massive questions.

Lift Global Ventures: A question for brown envelope man’s auditor Edwards Veeder

It almost goes without saying that Trans African has again missed the deadline to repay the It almost goes without saying that Trans African has again missed the deadline to repay the £1 million it owes Zak Mir’s Lift Global Ventures (LFT). The cash was lent in early 2024 and was first due for repayment more than a year ago. But numerous revised deadlines have been missed and now the deadline has again been extended from today to January 31. As Trans has no cash and is insolvent to the tune of more than £4.5 million it will clearly never pay. Meanwhile the brown envelope man is working on his accounts or the year to June 30th.

BREAKING: Valereum undeclared related party troughing

Comrade Richard Poulden is no longer involved with Valereum (VLRM) the AQSE listed dog that he, his bromantic partner Dave Lenigas and brown envelope man Zak Mir pumped with claims of a 100p or 200p valuation. Investors who bought into that pump did their conkers and the shares are now 4.375p with a new band of scholars and gentlemen on board, lead by CEO Gary Cottle.

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

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

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.
