Poor little Zak Mir, always the victim….

Still not coming clean about the legal claims for a six figure sum against his company Lift Global Ventures (LFT), a claim that could almost entirely erase its balance sheet, the brown envelope man Zak Mir is the ultimate victim. Educated at Harrow and London University until he dropped out he explained at the weekend how he is just not part of the City establishment.

GOTCHA! Disgraced penny share grifter Zak Mir warned by FRC after Tom Winnifrith complaint

I guess his very silly sister at Shares Magazine will view it as racist to report Zak Mir to the Financial Reporting Council for a series of accounting blunders at his Lift Global Ventures (LFT) shitco. Wait till she discovers that I have Nigel Farage’s number on my speed dial! Anyhow, the FRC has dropped me a note today thanking me for dobbing in brown envelope man as you an see below. The ruling is clear, Zak has been a naughty boy

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: EXPOSED, the twice convicted fraudster at the heart of UK small caps and how his tentacles spread

I name names of those guilty of crime and those who just look the other way. Among the companies linked to this fraudster are Red Rock Resources (RRR), Union Jack Oil (UJO) Hemogenyx (HEMO), Sealand Capital Galaxy (SCGL), zak Mir's Lift Global Ventures (LFT), Globo (GBO) and Genflow (GENF). The FCA gets a note about Sealand and its CEO tomorrow but anyone holding shares in any company with a direct link here is insane.

Disgraced Zak Mir associate Dave Richards MBE of Wandisco infamy: the Forfeiture Committee Writes back

You may remember that I suggested that for using company funds for personal gain and for trousering $1.1 million thanks to an employee fraud, I suggested that Dave Richards of Wandisco (WAND) infamy should lose his MBE. I wrote to the Forfeiture Committee about the new chairman of brown envelope man’s Lift Global Ventures HERE. And now, I have a response. The issue is live!

Video: Two clowns called Zak

Zak Mir’s Lift Global Ventures (LFT) has not addressed the pressng issue, exposed here yesterday, of a legal claim that could wipe out its dwindling cash reserves. And some. With the shares trading less often than West Ham manage to win a game maybe nobody at AQSE Regulation cares about the possibility of bankruptcy. The core business of Mir and Lift Global, pumping penny dreadfuls in return for undeclared brown envelopes continues apace.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Who has Zak Mir told about the potentially company sinking legal claim?

I start with a couple of Sharestock issues that make me angry. then more on how Comrade Brian Basham is trying to take the Georgina Energy (GEX) scandal forward. It also makes me angry. Then Zak Mir's dirty little secret that could sink Lift Global (LFT), Eight Capital Partners (ECP), with Liam Murray asleep at the wheel ( again), will David Lenigas 'fess up with a London Bitcoin Company (BTC) trading statement and Smarter Web Company (SWC) and the increasingly poor vicar Andrew Carter.

Tom Winnifrth Bearcast: who to piss off first, Greta the Doom Goblin, Malcom Stacey, Nigel Wray or Zak Mir's very silly sister at Shares Magazine?

I discuss early blackberries, crashing house prices, Cambridge Cognition (COG) and Zak Mir's Lift Global Ventures (LFT) its new chairman, the thief, and much else. It's all so much sordid rubbish but no doubt the silly sister insists its racist to say so

If only Harrow had taught a young Zak Mir some basic maths

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. But the cheque from Africa us still "in the post" or rather has not been sent at all. The deadline has yet again be pushed back to 31 July from 30 June. 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.

TAP Global – another Director red flag

I flagged up the ghastly CV of Peter Wall, the chairman of TAP Global (TAP) on Friday. One of the other Directors is John Taylor, a non-executive who is there to protect shareholders interests. I note that his CV indicates he undertook a similar a role at Bidstack Group Plc (BIDS) from 15 November 2017 to 2 July 2019.That ended well. Not!

BREAKING: Craven House Nomad walks, shares suspended, big questions for the auditor of Brown Envelope Man

Oh dear, oh dear, I fear that Mr. Lee Lederberg of Edwards Veedeer (UK) Limited, the man who signs off the ludicrous accounts of Zak Mir’s Lift Global Ventures (LFT), is in a spot of bother following the suspension of shares in AIM Casino listed Craven House Capital (CRV). I shall be writing to my good pals at the FRC later today.

A song and an idea for wretched Zak Mir as can kick day approaches yet again, 20, 20, 24 hours to go, Lift wants to be sedated

Not a lot of folks know this, but Zak Mir plays the guitar which might see him taking a new career in busking when Lift Global Ventures (LFT) finally goes bust. And so for Zak, as it’s 20, 20, 24 hours to go to can kick day, a song:

EXPOSE: Serial penny share fraudster Ron Bauer convicted again in US but still operating in UK: will the FCA finally act?

Leopards do not change their spots and last week, London based Ron Bauer was yet again convicted of penny share fraud in the US Courts as you can see below. He was sentenced to 20 months in the slammer and forced to hand over $4,377,228.74. The chances of the UK Regulator putting him or known associate Adrian Beeston, the financial backer of Zak Mir, out of business? Zero.

Zak Mir: the cheque’s in the post, honest guv

Brown Envelope Man is very much used to the cash strapped penny dreadful PLCs whose shares he ramps in return for undeclared payments telling him that the cheque to his Lift Global Ventures (LFT) POS company is “in the post”. He might even believe it.

Oi Zak: is a brown envelope with £1.25m in it still in the post? Wednesday is deadline day. Again.

With disgraced penny share hustler Zak Mir Not being a great numbers man it is worth reminding him that this Wednesday is April 30th and that is the latest in a series of serially revised deadline days when it claims that insolvent Trans-Africa Energy will repay it £1.25 million to Mir's Lift Global Ventures (LFT). That is an original loan of £750,000 plus an additional £500,000 for constantly agreeing to defer repayment from last August.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: If only there'd been a technical analyst on board to warn folks about a 95% share price collapse

That silly woman from Shares Magazine probably thinks it is racist to make that Zak Mir/Lift Global Ventures (LFT) joke again but it is good enough as the shares plunge to a new low to make it yet again. But seriously folks, I ten turn to Marechale Capital (MAC), the upper class twit of the year 2012-24 and Weardale Lithium, Ariana (AAU),.First Class Metals (FCM), Cirata (CRTA) and Aston Martin (AML)(, both of which are still shorts. I also look at gold stocks as gold hits a new high of $3,123 oz.

Brown Envelope Man’s Lift Global Ventures, interim loss as Miriad’s revenues and profits decline

There will be tears before closing time at the Carlton Club today as its esteemed member Zak Mir drowns his sorrows after his Lift Global Ventures (LFT), which is about as global as my vegetable patch, publishes dismal results. It seems as if customers, that is POS AIM and Standard List stocks, are seeing through Zak’s pumping operation as being pointless.

Video: Brown Envelope Man and Blackbird

Naturally Zak Mir does not disclose that his financially challenged firm Lift Global Ventures (LFT) is paid to promote the shares of Blackbird (BIRD), the company that is so disruptive and cutting edge that in its 28th year has yet to make a profit in any single accounting period. It is surely the ultimate AIM producer of jam tomorrow and with Zak’s kiss of death, things can only get worse. If you have seven minutes of your life to waste

Zak Mir: the cheque from Africa is in the post…oh you mean it’s not?

Two years ago exactly, the Brown Envelope Man, Zak Mir announced that his AQSE listed shitco Lift Global Ventures (LFT) was lending £750,000, most f its balance sheet to a technically insolvent company where Lift’s chairman Roy Kelly, was a director, Trans-Africa Energy Limited. Trans had a murky past as exposed on this website but Zak’s silly sister from Shares Magazine probably thinks its racist to point that out.

Letter to FRC: please investigate Zak Mir, Lift Global Ventures and Lee Lederberg of Edwards Veeder

BREAKING: Lift Global Ventures – deep dive into 30 June 2024 numbers, its off to the FRC I go!

Zak Mir’s Lift Global Ventures (LFT) waited until late in the day Thursday to publish its annual report on its website so I have taken a deeper dive into its numbers. 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.

Zak Mir’s Lift Global Ventures chucks £750,000 down a related party, technically insolvent, black hole

Oh dear, oh dear, the Sith Lord Zak Mir’s Lift Global Ventures (LFT) becomes more of a joke every day. Its first investment, when it was a media consolidation play, was Zak’s own company brown envelopes company Miriad, a deal which broke all sorts of rules and stank. Now there is another related party deal, as Lift goes into energy. You could not make this up.

Zak Mir’s Christmas Carol Part 3

“For fuck’s sake you ghastly foreigner and all round oik I told you to sod off” screamed in unison both the world’s leading chartist and CEO of Lift Global Ventures and Aloysius as once again the windows of the chartists luxury apartment were flung wide open by the ghostly apparition. “Nadolig Llawen” said the ghost once again and beckoned the great technical analyst to come towards him.

The world’s best known chartist and CEO of Lift Global Ventures had a long discussion with the only bear who should not be serving a life sentence in South Georgia, that is to say Aloysius. They concluded that the ghostly apparition from earlier in the night was a ghastly oik probably a foreigner too, speaking Frog and all that, and so should be disregarded. It really was beddy byes time. But the great chartist struggled to fall asleep. And then….

Zak Mir’s Lift deal – why it so obviously stinks

It has been suggested to me that my criticism of Zak Mir’s Lift Global Ventures (LFT) is driven by jealousy in that The Sith Lord is clearly coining it in.  Au contraire. It is because everything about this stinks. And if the FCA and Aquis Regulation were not so utterly useless they would be all over this. Let me explain why.

From corporate piss artist to legendary actual artist - the fall and rise of Clem Chambers in pictures

Thanks to Yair Tauman, he is no longer able to draw a £300,000 salary and an even bigger expense account at ADVFN (AFN), so what now for Clem Chambrs? There was the hilarious attempt to stag the disastrous IPO of Lift Global Ventures, but a man needs more in life. So as you can see below Clem is now a celebrated artist with his work showing later this week in a “flash” exhibition in Paris. In case you are in Frogland I also bring you a couple of Clem’s masterpieces. They don’t float my boat but maybe you have a “different” taste?

Lift Global Ventures - did the UK’s top chartist, Zak Mir, predict this 2 week share price collapse?

Lift Global Ventures (LFT) – a cash shell that buys assets in the financial media world – was listed at 3p on 29 April, after a fundraise which brought in £1.73 million. That, we are told, was “oversubscribed”, which is obviously a testimony to the brilliance of its CEO, the Sith Lord Zak Mir. Every bandit in town is on the shareholder list, as well as upstanding blue-chip investors like David Lenigas and ex ADVFN boss, Clem “a legend in his own expenses lunchtime” Chambers.
