BREAKING: Valereum – this is FRAUD Part 2 on the California Bezzle

In part 1of today’s expose I demonstrated that anyone using any critical thinking or speaking to folks on the ground in San Bernadino county would know that Valereum’s claims to have security over $32 billion of gold was just bollocks, it was plain fraud.

I must not be too rude about Liverpuddlian ponzi The 79th Group lest Evil Banksta gets on the trombone to accuse me of racial discrimination, insisting that all his fellow scousers are, like Ken Dodd, purer than the driven snow and as honest as they come.

Letter to the FCA: Ashington Innovations – you MUST stop this RTO, unless you are admitting you are a joke

Yesterday I revealed that the proposed RTO of Cell Therapy into Ashington Innovations (ASHI) with a £135 million valuation was a total joke. Cell will be insolvent even if it raises £3 million in the RTO, its sole director is a struck off dentist and it is mired in scandal. I have written to broker SI Capital urging it to walk away but clearly its desire for coke and hookers money counts more than its reputation. So now to the FCA which can and should stop this bezzle.

Appbox Media is the sister company of One True View and has stolen around £15 million of investors money with the FCA standing idly by ignoring this massive boiler room scam in the heart of the City.  But while One True View is reinventing itself to steal more cash as revealed yesterday HERE, Appbox has filed for insolvency.

I start on the usual subject. Please do donate HERE. Then I discuss a bull market and the bezzle and recent deals that are simply corrupt or wrong or deceptive. The case studies are Live Company (LVCG), Iconic (ICON) and Powerhouse (PHE). Anyone spending 20 minutes on the internet can see for themselves. Only in a raging bull market could folks think they would get away with such nonsense. I comment on the crisis at Bidstack (BIDS) and then analyse today’s trading statement from ADVFN (AFN) and what it means for the battle for the board.
