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!

On the surface of it TAP Global (TAP) which has moved markets today does not look an outrageously bad investment but today’s RNS fails to mention one humungous red flag.

I explained why I expected Argo (ARB) to go bust during 2023 yesterday HERE after scallywag CEO Peter Wall jumped ship. I am not to the only bear in town. Jeremy Smith of broker Fiske does not hold back, opining:

The man who sold £3.5 million of shares at 243p AFTER sounding out folks about a placing which took place a few days later at 200p is gone. Yes, Peter Wall the CEO and ( for 18 months) “interim” chairman of Argo Blockchain (ARB) has announced his resignation with immediate effect.

Oddly, Argo Blockchain (ARB) has only now disclosed that its Helios bitcoin mining facility in Texas (now sold) was shut down by bad weather for most of December. Normal companies might have mentioned it at the time but since when did disgraced CEO Peter Wall give a FF about the rules?

In the bitcoin, NFT, blockchain frenzy of early last year the gang of Mike Edwards, Jonathan Bixby, disgraced Peter Wall of soon to go bust Argo Blockchain (ARB), disgraced broker Andy Frangos of (has just gone bust) Pello infamy and proven liar John Story staged a number of heists, or as they termed them IPOs.

Peter Wall the CEO and interim ( for more than a year) chairman of Argo Blockchain (ARB) has been caught with his governance trousers down yet again. When will the regulators accept that Wall is a bad actor who should be ejected from the PLC stage?

You really cannot say that you were not warned over and over again by this website that Argo Blockchain (ARB) would make rich knaves such as CEO Peter Wall, disgraced broker Andy Frangos, paid share ramper (sorry “journalist”) Zak Mir and proven liar and rule breaker John Story richer while screwing ordinary shareholders. The game is almost up. The Fat Lady is gargling. Today’s October update is a disaster.

Fear not. All of the rogues involved in ramping this one over the years have already made vast sums through share dumping and bloated cash payments. Peter Wall, Zak Mir, disgraced broker Andy Frangos, Adrian Beeston, John Story the list of colourful characters goes on and on but they are all okay, there is no need for them to launch a Go Fund Me page. But, Argo Blockchain (ARB) served up dire news this morning which means those mug punters, bulletin board morons and institutional investors alike, who have ignored my numerous explicit warnings, will soon do their conkers.

Half calendar year numbers are predictably shite but thanks to the monthly trading updates, opaque as they are, we already had a fair old idea how much in the merde the company is, however much disgraced Peter Wall, and his PR gimps at Tancredi, who refuse to answer simple questions, might try to polish the turd.

There are many reasons to be bearish of Argo Blockchain (ARB), not least a CEO, Peter Wall, who dumps millions of pounds of shares AFTER sounding folks out about a placing, which took place less than two weeks after that dump. But that is not the only corporate governance issue.

June’s operational update is truly shocking, and another red flag for the Argo Blockchain (ARB) collection. Natch, with Peter Wall in charge, the statement is disingenuous.

Last time Argo Blockchain (ARB) passed the hat around, its disgraced CEO, Peter Wall, claimed that it had no need to issue equity. I put it to you that – as I revealed on Saturday – Argo is preparing to do just that; otherwise, Wall will be treated to another of the Fat Lady’s performances. Moreover…

A smattering of not that materially large share purchases by Argo Blockchain (ARB) PDMRs was announced today, together with news that big cheese Peter Wall has exercised options over 430,000 Ordinary Shares. The statement that follows, again, shows what a dick he is and why he is playing us all as fools.

The writing is on the wall for Cellular Goods (CBX), the CBD company floated by Jonathan Bixby, Mike Edwards, Andy Frangos, Peter Wall of Argo Blockchain (ARB) infamy, and serial liar, John Story.

In today’s podcast, I discuss the FTSE 100 sliding; bitcoin’s crash; Coinbase; Online Blockchain (OBC); Argo Blockchain (ARB) and 3 questions Peter Wall MUST answer; Cellular Goods (CBX), where Wall today stepped down as chair (odd timing); Verditek (VDTK); the shame of Innovate UK and ex-footballer and NFT spiv, Michael Owen; Petropavlovsk (POG); and Versarien (VRS), where a cash crisis looms. Now, to brace myself: the mother-in-law will arrive at her new home in just a few hours.

I discuss today’s minor triumph regarding the rule breaking Tory Toff Earl of Shrewsbury and if inflation is not hitting some of us. I look at Vast Resources (VAST) and Avacta (AVCT) but in far more detail Amur Minerals (AMC) and then Argo Blockchain (ARB). There was no Rogue Bloggers for Woodlarks training walk yesterday as I was aching so much from 10 hours gardening on Saturday. Instead I did another eight hours gardening here at the Welsh Hovel. I will post some photos later but I promise you that my body really ached today. Please enjoy my suffering but do not remain among the 97% of listeners yet to donate to this amazing cause, please make a donation – if only a fiver or a tenner – today HERE

Of course CEO Peter Wall (who dumped shares at 243p a year ago AFTER starting sounding out folks about a 200p per share placing) insists that this debt is not dilutive. Really?

This has been the most stressful day in Greece for a long while; I really do need a holiday. I explain all. Then I look at Sensyne (SENS); Chill Brands (FRAUD); Blue Star Capital (BLU) and an AGM shock that may trigger the collapse of the Bixby, Edwards, Frangos, Story and Peter Wall house of cards. Then it is onto Canadian Overseas Petroleum (COPL), where today’s placing vindicates me. I argue that a 20.75p share price is a compelling shorting opportunity on a risk-reward basis. Matthew and his dog will enjoy that section, as Arthur Millholland, the snake oil salesman at Canadian, really is talking shite in today’s release. I am so angry.

As I noted recently, David Beckham backed pot play Cellular Goods (CBX) faces a cash crisis later this year. This bastard offspring of the Edwards/Bixby/disgraced broker Andy Frangos/ John Storey/Peter Wall gang has always been overhyped and overvalued but now it really is screwed as the Food Standards Agency has ordered that retailers remove its product from their shelves at once.

I start with football and a question from last night’s West Ham game about how society now views crime and criminals. Then onto the lessons from the collapse of Sensyne (SENS), the bastard child of Neil Woodford and sleazy Lord Drayson. I look at Canadian Overseas Petroleum (COPL) and at Bidstack (BIDS) as well as at Angus Energy (ANGS) and Sound Oil (SOU). Finally the odd case of NFT Investments (NFT) and the Bixby/Edwards/ Frangos/Storey/Peter Wall gang.

On January 7 this year I warned you that Cellular Goods (CBX),was making it up as it went along to hide the failure of the launch of its CBD products. Hey ho. Today it has fessed that,as is so often the case, I was bang on the money. And better still, 360 days after the IPO, founder and CEO Alexis Abraham is walking the plank. Things will only get worse for a company chaired by Peter Wall of Argo Blockchain (ARB) infamy.

The incestous joke that is Aquis listed NFT Investments (NFT) took another turn today with a related party deal with Pluto Digital, featuring a cast of scampsters including John Story, Andy Frangos, founder of disgraced broker Pello, serial promoter Jonathan Bixby and his brother in law, Peter Wall of Argo Blockchain (ARB). Did you not know that Bixby and Wall were related by marriage? Small world innit?

The proper way to respond to the Boatman dossier was via RNS but that needs regulatory sign off so the fellow who dumped millions of dollars worth of shares at 243p just a couple of weeks before Argo Blockchain (ARB) did a major placing at 200p recorded a video which you can see below. He covers the “report” but does not name it just in case folks actually are encouraged to go read it. It is a poor rebuttal.
