Oooh er missus: things getting punchy at Lift Global

Who do I, as a West Ham diehard, support if our arch rivals Millwall play our other arch rivals the dirtbags at Spurs? It is a really hard call. I’d want both to lose. I am not quite at that point when it comes to the boardroom battle at wretched Zak Mir’s Lift Global Ventures (LFT). I think everyone knows that I am no fan of Mir or his proposed chairman Howard White of Hydrogen Utopia (HUI) infamy or of Zak’s ghastly sister from Shares Magazine who sent me such a horrible letter. But on the other hand …

Tom Winnifrith BONUS bearcast: In almost 100% support of Zak Mir as a boardroom battle kicks off at Lift Global Ventures

If Mir can show some backbone he might just be an unlikely hero for once. He has his failings and I don't like some of his mates but on this one occassion, I stand shoulder with Zak Mir. Do not say that I am not a nice and forgiving sort of chap.

Amala Foods – Boardroom change but is the new guy really such a hero?

Letter to AQSE Regulation: Re Amazing AI and Zak Mir’s Lift Global Ventures

I have written to the regulator as the vermin Paul Mathieson is withholding critical information from investors ahead of a critical GM of Amazing AI (AAI) on 30 December. Arguably he has also broken listing rules with regard to his published financials not that he’d care. I have asked that question

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

Letter to the FCA, AQSE Regulation and Oberon: time to act against Zak Mir and Lift Global Ventures

Enough is enough. A man who endorses the actions of a CEO who weaponizes suicide is a man that the City should cold shoulder. But it is not on that basis that I have written to the FCA, AQSE regulation and Oberon, the advisor to Zak Mir’s Lift Global Ventures (LFT). The brown envelope man needs to be put out of business for committing what I argue below is, industrial scale, market abuse.

Ouzo for TW: Amazing AI says it is to delist from AQSE but statement is complete nonsense ( and defamatory)

The loans business behind Amazing AI (AAI) had already listed on three Exchanges before it joined AQSE at 80p per share less than two years ago. Each time it racked up huge losses and delisted costing shareholders everything. For some reason Liam Murray at Cairn thought it would be different this time. Today, with the shares suspended at 0.275p after advisor Guild quit because of the weaponization of suicide tweet, Amazing says it plans to leave AQSE. But its defamatory statement makes no sense at all.

More Bent Journalism at the Daily Mail exposed – in bed with scumbags

Though he is wrong on almost all matters, there are a few things myself and the Euroloon Jonathan Price can agree on: that our mutual lifelong support of West Ham is painful; that Price’s Mrs is way out of his league and that the Daily Mail is an abomination of a publication. Its financial section is, as I have flagged up on many occasions, guilty of gross moral turpitude. Pumping La Willingham’s Nightcap (NGHT) with bogus numbers was one crime. But the regular crime is carrying the Proactive Column with no mention of how the stocks pumped with grossly misleading copy are ones that pay Proactive.

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.

Another day and another deadline missed. Zak Mir’s Lift Global Ventures (LFT) was due to get a related party loan to a £4 million insolvent company repaid last August.

What’s the point of setting a deadline if it has to be moved every month? Meanwhile Zak’s weekend “journalism”, i.e. pumping shitcos in return for brown envelopes is entertaining.

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.
