Evil Banksta weighs in on TekCapital after today’s spooftastic RNS

In May TekCapital (TEK) was gifted 51% of Vesari for $0 but within 5 weeks had published an “independent” , i.e. paid for report saying that a company with no assets, cash or patented IP was worth $293 million. I agree with Liverpool’s  greatest numbers man since Ken Dodd that this is just nonsense on stilts. Evil Banksta opines:

Petra - - why it cannot avoid going bust, the collapse of diamond prices, the most slam dunk short in London

Yesterday I explained why folks including the celebrated small state low tax scouse campaigner Mr Ken Dodd, sorry I meant to say Evil Banksta, were still short of Petra Diamonds (PDL) at c6p, a market cap of just under £20 million. This is partly a company specific story but there is a bigger macro picture that will ensure this is a slam dunk zero. You can bet the ranch shorting this company it has 0p written all over it.

I have been a perma bear of Petra Diamonds (PDL and with the shares languishing at 6.45p, a market cap of £21 million, I am vindicated. But the shares are still a short the target is price is 0p.

More bad news for Belluscura, surely the Fat Lady is gargling as P45s fly and Directors rush to abandon ship

Round at Evil Banksta towers this morning, Liverpool’s greatest numbers man since Ken Dodd is allowing himself yet another smug grin on yet another brilliant call as Belluscura (BELL) serves up yet more bad news. This looks increasingly terminal. The whole episode makes me think of the Bangles and Mr Spock.

EXPOSE: Roadside Real Estate leaves a famous Scouse bear confused

Comrade Somerville has been a long time critic of Roadside Real Estate (ROAD), the dog formerly known as Barkby. And he has been right.

The man knocked off the top spot of Scouse number crunchers by his fellow believer in a low tax state, Mr Ken Dodd, writes:

And Liverpool’s greatest numbers man since Ken Dodd (and that other honourable scouser with a line in financial matters Mr Derek Hatton) agrees with me. Evil Banksta has a couple of questions for the FCA and opines:

On one matter Evil Banksta is far too harsh on Powerhouse, just because its IPO was a castle built on lies

Yesterday’s article from Evil Banksta on Powerhouse (PHE) was damning. It cannot show its product works, it is rapidly running out of cash and, at 0.65p, a £27 million market cap is a complete rum ‘n’coke. Powerhouse has not responded, its silence screams out at you and you should be short. This could be a zero. But Evil now tries to make a second point.

Riverstone Credit Opportunities Income & Harland & Wolff: can this really be deemed prudent?

Riverstone Credit Opportunities Income (RCOI) is a main market listed energy infrastructure and energy-transition credit investor. In its wisdom it has leant money to Harland & Wolff (HARL) which, as Evil Banksta explains HERE, is drowning in red flags and debt and is burning cash and cannot hope to refinance. Liverpool’s greatest numbers man since Ken Dodd reckons that Harland is a zero..
