Wandisco CEO and CFO “resigned” as scale of the fraud at this $1 billion unicorn confirmed

Having boasted how putting his staff on a 4 day week had seen sales rocket, pompous Dave Richards MBE was forced to admit on March 9 that all of that sales growth at Wandisco (WAND) was bogus.

I bet Elizabeth Lake is regretting joining Revolution Beauty (REVB) as its CFO on May 12 this year. The previous incumbent Andrew Clark hung around till the end of July for an orderly handover, since when we have had a ghastly profits warning and now, today, an admission of potential accounting “issues.” Ms Lake must feel as if she was parachuted onto the Titanic just before the iceberg. Or maybe she should take some blame and walk the plank?

Is the Nomad, hapless SP Angel of the fraud MySquar infamy, not considering whether to walk? It should be but, then again, it is morally bankrupt.

I have written to the FRC today as you can see below.

Audioboom (BOOM) has today announced that CFO, David McDonagh has left "with immediate effect". It says it is looking for a replacement but gives no reason for the departure. And oddly this resignation occurs just one week after the company published interims. It was clearly not planned.
