After hours yesterday came the news of another casualty on AIM – the world’s most successful growth market. Real Good Foods (RGD) is going to be calling in the administrators and shares have been suspended this morning. 125 years of trading history is going up in smoke.

A reader takes me to task for failing to comment on the annual report of Vox Markets, the company that takes payments from shite companies to pump their worthless shares, often using the services of Justin the Clown. The annual report covers an extended 16 month period to 31 December 2022 and came out on September 26. I can but apologise for not picking up on this earlier.

Yesterday I flagged up how any company linked to liar and fraudster Chris Cleverly of Tingo (US:TIO) infamy was a slam dunk sell and that included Technology Minerals (TM1). Today, deadline day, it has served up its results for the year to June and the question is not if but when it will go bust.

Now I really am ashamed to be the unwitting owner of £120 worth of shares in VSA Capital (Very Sexy Andrew), the broker and financial adviser run by egomaniac Andrew Monk, a man – as he mentions daily – educated at Oriel College Oxford. In November of last year VSA racked up a big corporate fee getting an Aquis dual listing for New Zealand listed coffee chain Cooks Coffee (COOK). Cook’s was – as I showed here – insolvent at the time and VSA’s forecasts to get the IPO away were a disgrace.

As at May 30 Verditek (VDTK) was down to just £290,000 of cash. Its underlying cashburn in the first five months of 2023 was £145,000 a month. There have been a few small orders landing in H2 but nowhere near enough to get this company anywhere close to profitability. So as of today it is technically insolvent, bust, bankrupt, a fuckedcompany.com, it is a zero. As such today it has news of a new jv in Italy.

There were some share promoters who pushed Dev Clever (DEV), which IPO’d at 1p, as being worth 50p per share and indeed the shares reached the 40s and were suspended at just over 30p making this a £250 million disaster waiting to happen. I pointed out that it was run from a lock up in Stafford, that it was a cash guzzling POS, the stinky share sales by the CEO ahead of a lack of profits warnings, spoof investments at a premium to the share price made by companies with no cash. My list of exposes was a long one as you can see HERE. This was always going to be a disaster but natch, mug punters knew otherwise.

If the do the warning is utterly misleading. Verditek (VDTK) faces another imminent cash crisis and could go bust before the start of August.

I start with bollocks talked all round today about bailing out those suffering mortgage misery. Blah, blah, blah. Then it is on to bitcoin and Argo Blockchain (ARB), a deep dive into the stinkiest deal done in eons, Hydrogen Utopia (HUI) is the culprit. Then I look at Conroy Gold & Natural Resources (CGNR), more nonsense from Chill Brands (CHLL) and why Bidstack (BIDS) may go bust and why I hope it goes bust. En passant, I mention Cook’s Coffee (COOK) and the disgraced Andrew Monk who IPO’d it.

Today URU flags up two bits of news from Zeb without going into detail. I bet you cannot guess why? First up Zeb has been caught lying or, as Uru puts it, it has “issued a clarifying press release”

It was only just over two years ago that shares in the fraud Verditek (VDTK) reached 18p at peak Mike Walters ramp. But, like so many stocks promoted by old mother Walters, Verditek was a fraud and now the shares are just 0.6p. This website has exposed the way Verditek has made announcements about big new contracts on a serial basis since 2017, ramped the shares, got a placing away only to ‘fess that the contract was bogus. The problem with frauds, as Mrs Thatcher might have said, is that eventually they run out of other people’s money. That point will arrive within months

I start with a question for you ALL. Answers please in the comments section below. Then there is a detailed analysis of the cash position of Dev Clever (DEV) capitalised at a suspension price of £249 million. Follow my logic, I reckon it is surviving only by not paying bills and is bust. I explain all. Please take note shareholders in Asimilar (ASLR). I hope it does go bust as that will pose serious questions for a list of colourful characters who I name and shame in the podcast.

I start remembering a career moment of shame involving Colin Bird and that brings me to Xtract Resources (XTR) where for all Bird’s dissembling surely a placing is underway? I look at the joke company eEnergy (EAAS) and the disgraceful antics of Justin the Clown. I cover nanosynth (NNN) which I expect to go bust by New Year’s Day and Argo Blockchain (ARB) which I think is already bust. I explain how it can avoid paying its bills for a while. Then I look at “wonder stock” Atlantic Lithium (ALL), its £1 billion NPV and how robust that is, its management, the various red flags and the inevitability of a near term placing. There are bull points here as well as bear.

Even Pete Brailey the most staunchest of Tory members you could ever meet says he has given up on the party after today’s budget. I go through two lies Jeremy Hunt told and consider how he has screwed the poor, those of us running SMEs and is protecting super rich folks with sons at Eton with another lie. Like Peter I shall not vote Tory next time. Then onto a man who is not a liar, Optibiotix (OPTI) boss Steve O’Hara and the presentation he gave today which is below. I mention Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX) and an email exchange today at this point. Then a few words on Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) follow then on to Argo Blockchain (ARB) which I expect to go bust next week and Ceres Power (CWR) whose valuation is still bonkers despite the shares slumping by 80% since peak ramp.

On 24 October Vast Resources (VAST) held a GM where shareholders voted to allow it to issue more shares. But fear not, the chairman stated “ It should be stressed that there is no commitment at this time to issue the new equity share capital for which authority is sought, and it remains the policy of the Directors to minimise such issues.” That was deceptive as the company HAD to raise money this month to avoid going bust. Today, as I predicted, came the deeply discounted placing.

This is clearly a disorderly market. If the investor flagged up by Argo Blockchain (ARB) who was thinking of investing £24 million at 27.6p is going ahead the shares are dirt cheap as a trading buy. If not then, ceteris paribus, Argo will have gone bust by Christmas. It is a binary bet and Mr Market is telling you that it looks more like the adverse outcome than the positive one. But we can all agree the market is somewhat disorderly. So what the feck are the Oxymorons at AIM Regulation playing at?

They have not been this excited and screamed “burn shorters burn” since they piled inro Petropavlovsk (POG) just before it went bust.

I look at Parsley Box (MEAL) and the role of certain institutional investors and also FinnCrap (FCAP) in some detail. I predict Parsley will go bust by the autumn notwithstanding today’s dishonest bailout. I look at Oxford Cannibinoid (OTCP) and the growing scandal there and also comment on Eurasia (EUA), then at Chill Brands (CHLL) and that other Standard Listed fraud Supply@ME Capital (SYME).
