It was a matter of when not if but today Versarien (VRS) has appointed Andrew Knowles and Andrew Poxon of Leonard Curtis as Joint Administrators. They will try to sell its businesses but will get SFA. Shareholders will lose everything and the UK taxpayer will take a monster haircut on the £5 million plus accrued interest loan it should never have been given by Innovate UK.

This £205 million AIM Sewer blow up is now in its final death throes but still some folks are in denial. The company’s NEDs have all resigned, the shares are suspended on the AIM Casino and the company says that it “intends” to appoint Leonard Curtis as administrators. It is that word “intends” that gives false hope to the poor sheeple

Well at least Versarien (VRS) gave disgraced founder Neill Ricketts one last payout a couple of weeks ago. For shareholders, as long predicted by myself, today comes a warning that the shares are going to 0p and the company int administration. Given the way Rcketts trolled me and his shareholders discussed having me killed and how to get my wife sacked, you will forgive my lack of sympathy here. Hopefully administration will also expose five million quid of Tory sleaze.

It is not yet up at Companies House but I have obtained a copy of the latest report by Leonard Curtis into the administration of Ariadne Capital Limited (ACL), the flagship company of Julie "Lingerie on Expenses" Meyer MBE. I reproduce it in full below and it will make very uncomfortable reading indeed for Ms Meyer.

Another email arrives at Winnileaks which shows how Julie "Lingerie on Expenses" Meyer is, not for the first time, running rings around Andrew Duncan of Leonard Curtis who is supposed to have had sole charge of Ariadne Capital Limited since it went into administration on 18 December 2017. But laws are for little people. Julie and her finance gopher Steve Piper were still taking decisions for Ariadne, moving assets out of it and backdating documents to cover their tracks well into 2018. Is Mr Duncan aware of this? Well I have made sure he is now. Surely this is a crime, in this case a £4.5 million one.

Oh dear, poor Andrew Duncan at Administrator Leonard Curtis will not like this latest set of emails to drop into the hands of Winnileaks. Not one bit. Duncan was appointed on 18 December at which point Julie "Lingerie on expenses" Meyer MBE ceased to be a director and lost any say in the running of Ariadne Capital Limited (ACL). This devastating email thread is from January 2018.

Yesterday, in order to avoid a strike off at companies house Julie Meyer finally filed accounts for Ariadne Capital Entrepreneurs Investments Limited – that is to say accounts for calendar 2016! The accounts are fraudulent and there is a real question as to whether she should have been filing them at all – perhaps Andrew Duncan of administrators Leonard Curtis has a view. Let me explain.

I have been sent the first report on Ariadne Capital Limited prepared by the Administrator Leonard Curtis and sent to creditors yesterday. They will be whistling and will not get a cent back. There is no cash, no sales pipeline and only one debt of £36,000 which the Administrator hopes to collect. His comments on related party debts of £4.6 million are "of note". A company that claimed net assets of £3,858,688 as at 31 December 2016 is set to report a deficiency of £6,762,604 according to Leonard Curtis. Actually it will be worse.

The stink surrounding former Dragon's Den Star Julie Meyer MBE, a member of the great and the good, grows by the minute. More and more folks are coming forward to spill the beans and Julie should brace herself for a stack more exposes to follow the exposes already published. Let's start with a letter to Ms Charlotte John, who works for Leonard Curtis, the administrator of Meyer's flagship company Ariadne Capital Ltd. I have sent her a letter. Smiley face.
