Iconic Labs – the dilution carries on apace, again what is the point of this company?

Since I last wrote about Iconic (ICON) it has had a further two convertible loan note conversions, one from Toxic Dave Sefton’s Linton Capital and one from European High Growth Opportunities Securitization Fund.  Iconic now has 10.3 million shares in issue up from 4.7 million that remained after its 10,000 for 1 share consolidation on 25 August 2023.

In today’s RNS, Iconic (ICON) announced that it was notified that Linton Capital LLP which is owned by Toxic Dave Sefton who caused so much historic damage to Iconic shareholders converted £5,000 of his £750,000 convertible loans notes into 108,849 ordinary shares an effective conversion price of 4.6 pence per share versus the current ask price of 6.0 pence.

Iconic Labs – is it finally game over for the shareholders and a win for toxic David Sefton?

I haven’t written about Iconic (ICON) since 10 January 2022 when I wrote “Still on life support, toxic Dave Sefton will, shockingly, get away with everything”. Well, based on the following statement published by the Administrators yesterday that appears to be the case:

Iconic Labs – Toxic Dave Sefton screws shareholders again

In my article of 5 June 2021, I made the assumption (like many others) that it was Shard Capital (which is the only listed secured creditor at Companies House) who had appointed administrators at Iconic (ICON). I apologise to Shard because it was, as newly filed documents at Companies House reveal, Arch Capital Partners LLP who appointed the administrators. If you look at the filings for Arch Capital at Companies House, you find that its two members are David Sefton and Sefton Management Limited.

Iconic Labs and the ongoing downfall of toxic Dave Sefton

Today, the oil company that toxic David Sefton ramped, raised funds for, did undeclared related party deals with and still owes cash to, Anglo African Oil & Gas (AAOG) was thrown off AIM as a near bankrupt shell. Last Friday it was the turn of the other company he destroyed with related party deals, Iconic (ICON) to have news and it all reads badly for Dave. I wonder how Dave’s business partner, the Tory, Damian Collins MP feels about this. More sleaze vicar?

Iconic – a new spotlight on the greed and inappropriate actions of toxic Dave Sefton and the good Germans: Is Damian Collins MP watching?

It is beer and popcorn time at Standard Listed Iconic (ICON) as former boss toxic Dave Sefton, for years a blot on the UK smaller company scene, and the patsy Good German directors John Quinlan, Liam Harrington and Samuel Regan Asante now face retribution from the new bosses. Bring it on. Sefton needs expunging from the quoted companies world once and for all and to hand back his illicit winnings.

Iconic Labs – a brighter future for shareholders? How much will Dave Sefton et al be sued for?

BREAKING: Iconic labs, Tory MP Damian Collins & toxic Dave Sefton - is there something (very fishy) they are not telling us?

This all looks fishier than a case of seven week old kippers left in the sun. You will remember that on 1 February 2021 the three patsy directors of Iconic (ICON), who were paid two hundred grand a year each to do the bidding of toxic Dave Sefton, quit before they were pushed and that day signed new contracts to work direct for toxic Dave’s Greencastle.  Greencastle owned assets thanks to deals funded by Iconic in return for Iconic getting a management contract but that contract was also terminated on February 1. That should be a hanging offence but it gets worse.

Video: Swearing Iconic Shareholder turns his attention to UK Oil & Gas & Lyin' Steve Sanderson

It seems someone pulled the video of an angry Iconic (ICON) shareholder challenging toxic Dave Sefton to a charity boxing match. I can’t think which low grade scumbag would want his reputation protecting with that attack on free speech. Maybe toxic Dave has hired the fraudster’s PR of choice, Henry Harrison-Topham of Buchanan, to do his PR. Anyhow, our pal is back and his new target is Lyin’ Steve Sanderson of UK Oil & Gas (UKOG). Enjoy before this video is also taken down.

Video: Toxic Dave Sefton challenged to charity boxing match by investor he screwed over

Toxic David Sefton of Anglo African Oil & Gas (AAOG) and Iconic (ICON) infamy has cost mug punters, who ignored my numerous warnings, a fortune. And it seems as if some of them are rather angry. The chap in the video below uses language which makes even me blush but he offers a challenge to Dave which would raise £10,000 for charity and, once social distancing rules are relaxed, would be greatly enjoyed by many folks. So come on Dave, say you will do it…

The death of Iconic labs Part 2 - Who will be holding toxic Dave & the 3 Good Germans to account: the courts, the administrator or EGHOF?

It is only a matter of time before Iconic (ICON) is put into administration and I shall then be one upstanding citizen who contacts the administrator about the conduct of the Good Germans, the three directors who quit on Monday, as well as former chairman and then shadow director toxic Dave Sefton whose private companies have grown rapidly using Iconic’s cash. But I shall not be alone. Death spiral provider EHGOF claims it is owed cash by Iconic and has launched the most explicit broadside at toxic Dave and the Good Germans (John Quinlan, Liam Harrington and Sam Asante) with specific, shocking allegations, and making clear threats.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Colin Bird, Rio Ferdinand & Toxic Dave Sefton: 2 bad guys and a hero but would you want any on the board?

I start with yesterday’s Albanian lecture in honour of my late father. Then it is onto Colin Bird and Jubilee Metals (JLP), Rio Ferdinand and the Gym Group (GYM) and Toxic Dave Sefton and Iconic (ICON) in the wake of Nigel’s bombshell from earlier. One of the three is a bit of a hero and, to give you a clue neither Bird or toxic Dave ever played for West Ham.  But would you want any of the three on the board of a company in which you are invested. I discuss all three situations in detail.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Evil Knievil vs a Religious Cult & why Dave Sefton is 100% toxic and must be cleansed from financial services

Today’s expose of Iconic (ICON) is shocking and shows that Dave Sefton is again getting shareholders in a PLC to takle the equity risk for his private ventures. I explain the pattern and what Damon Heath at Shard Capital needs to do about this on Monday. This has got to stop now.  Then I look at the religious cult members Evil is tackling with his Tesla short and how it will play out. I start with my act of lockdown defiance today which has confifrmed to daughter Olaf what a boring old man I have become

Iconic Labs: after all the hype, huff and puff final results are out & are more dire than the direst day ever in dire City - auditors warning

Iconic Labs – More evidence of Toxic Dave Sefton’s close relationship with Iconic and about his new £1.45 million purchase

Linton Capital LLP, an investment company run by Toxic Dave Sefton, has been busy putting in place the arrangements to buy the Joe Media businesses in the UK – even though Joe Media may, as I exposed a day or so ago, be going seriously off the rails.  A recently filed security agreement now to be found at Companies House dated 9 July 2020, indicates that Toxic Dave, Linton Capital LLP and Greencastle MM Limited have entered into an agreement with BPC Ireland Designated Activity Company not to exceed £3,787,000 and any interest due and payable.

Worthless Iconic Labs – Toxic Dave Sefton’s latest deal, a bent money go round

Yesterday, Iconic (ICON) announced a “New management services contract with JOE Media Business generating revenues of at least £50,000 a month.  Intention to look at conventional financing options to replace current facility.” This is a total con with those revenues effectively coming from its own money. Its a swizz. Let me explain.

Puke, puke & puke again: Iconic Labs – Toxic Dave Sefton serves up another toxic deal, is it a fraud?

In a series of articles running for almost a year I have highlighted a sea of red flags concerning uber-dog Iconic (ICON).  Yesterday Iconic announced that it “supports Greencastle Capital bid for Joe Media and discussions on management contract”.   The rest of the announcement below provided some more background as follows but trhere were a few, explosive, details Iconic neglected to mention.:

Iconic Labs – Toxic David Sefton still behind the scenes pulling strings working with Tory MP Damian Collins

On 30 December 2019, as I highlighted in my article of the same day, toxic Dave Sefton resigned from Board of Iconic (ICON) admitting that he had become a PR liability following a series of exposes on this website about how he had used company funds at Anglo African Oil & Gas (AAOG) to benefit his private interests and had then lied about repaying those funds which he has still not done in full.Sefton is thus utterly toxic but behind the scenes and a trio of directors each earning £200,000, toxic Dave remains very much active behind the scenes at this company operating with almost no revenue and racking up steep losses..  He is involved in both Infotagion and also the London Economic deals that Iconic has announced.

Another scalp for the Sheriff of AIM: James Berwick the Anglo African Oil & Gas CEO is toast but £50k is still missing

In July of this year I forced Anglo African Oil & Gas (AAOG) to fess up to the fact that it had spunked £300,000 on due diligence on a deal it was not doing but which a company largely owned by and run by Anglo’s then boss toxic Dave Sefton and its CEO until today James Berwick was going ahead with. At that point the two men said if it completed the deal, Tunisian would repay the amount in full.


Last Thursday, amid a raft of bad news items which suggests that Anglo African is heading for a crash landing in tits up alley, it admitted that Anglo Tunisian had made the acquisition but was merely “negotiating” about repaying the moolah. I pointed that Berwick could not negotiate with Berwick and that the idiocy of this idea plus the fact that he was patently not a man of his word made his position untenable.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: It's a vicious slur, Cheryl my thoughts have not turned elsewhere

I reply to a listener who blames yesterday’s lack of bearcast on my thoughts shifting away from Ms Cole to this young olive harvester - such a suggestion is almost defamatory. Then it is on to Dignity (DTY), St James Place (STJ) and – in some detail – the very naughty boys at Iconic (ICON), led by toxic Dave Sefton and why the two NEDS walked today.

Iconic Labs – why cannot it get straight its story on Gay Star News?

Oh dear, oh dear, Iconic Labs (ICON), run by toxic Dave Sefton of Anglo African Oil & Gas infamy, has issued another statement on its acquisition of the LGBTI website Gay Star News. And it is still misleading its legion of daft followers. Why cannot it get the story straight. I provide, in bold, the ShareProphets translation service below.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Friday 13th is not a good day for the Toxic Brothers: Dave Sefton and Neil Woodford

There is some macro babble focussing on the woes of the EuroZone, why Malcolm is wrong about housebuilders and other matters. I look at Woodford Patient Capital Trust (WPCT) after yesterday evening’s shock news and ask when it breaches gearing limits and what happens next. I touch on i3 Energy (i3E) then look at the shock departure of Dave Sefton from Anglo African Oil & Gas (AAOG). He should have been fired sooner and what happens next? And what does this mean for Iconic (ICON) which I mistakenly refer to by its former name of Widecells and where Sefton still casts his malign influence as a director.
