Letter to the FRC regarding Supply@ME Capital and Regtech Open & technically insolvent AvantGarde

I have written to the Financial Reporting Council today regarding the interims of the Standard listed cons Supply@ME Capital (SYME) and Regtech Open (RTOP). Both companies are, as I have demonstrated on this website, technically insolvent and if the FCA was not so utterly clueless and pointless it would be suspending the shares NOW! But pro tem, the issue is interims on 29th September.

Desperate ramping by almost insolvent Cellular Goods as it re-announces Nothingburger non seaweed news

Gosh this is desperate. Cellular Goods (CBX) the CBD cum seaweed to net zero related party con, backed by David Beckham, is running on vapours and so to try to spoof its shares higher to allow another placing it has released the most pathetic of announcements. This is so wretched it is almost embarrassing

A letter to the FCA: Suspend Regtech Open Project now and demand to see the bank statements

I have written to the FCA which on August 25 approved an IFRS non compliant joke prospectus full of red flags allowing the con Regtech Open Project (RTOP) to list on the Standard list. Now there is clear evidence that should see the regulator suspending trading in the shares and demanding a series of bank statements and details of share trades.

BREAKING: SI Capital quits as broker to Ashington over £170m con deals with struck off dentist Ajan Rejinald

Oh dear, oh dear, it gets worse and worse for Jason Smart’s Standard listed POS Ashington Innovations (ASHI). I can reveal today that SI Capital has stepped down as broker following exposes on this website such as THIS and is stating quite categorically that it wants no involvement in this mess. To quote:

EXPLOSIVE DOSSIER: RegTech Open Project Plc - a £60m IPO CON from the Supply@ME stable the FCA thinks is fine and dandy

Yesterday the FCA approved the Prospectus for RegTech Open Project Plc (RTOP) so that it can list on the Standard List with a £60 million valuation, enriching Alessandro Zamboni of the Supply@ME Capital (SYME) fraud to the tune of £21 million. This detailed dossier explains why the FCA should hang its head in shame. This is a disgrace and shows that the Standard List regulator is just not fit for purpose.

BREAKING: More ouzo for the Sheriff as £250m con Dev Clever goes bust

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.

When opening the window at 11 AM and playing this appropriate music is a revolutionary act

The Government of Britain issued a diktat that we should all observe a minute’s silence at 11 AM today to mark a year since the, wholly wrong, Russian invasion of Ukraine.  Britain is not at war. British young people are not dying in the trenches yet the Government has appropriated a symbolic gesture at a symbolic time to justify our acts.

Expose: The King ramping rat, lying, rule breaking John Story starts to abandon the sinking Chill Brands ship

When shares in the fraud Chill Brands (CHLL) surged towards a quid, spiv John Story told folks they were going much higher. He gave ramptastic interviews where he told lies about the company then known as Zoetic (ZOE).  He ostentatiously bought a few more shares. He engaged with the man who helped Harvey Weinstein to silence his victims to harass and troll myself, Gary Newman, Peter Brailey and others to try and scare us away from exposing this con.  But now with the shares barely into double figures Story is bailing. And here’s why.

Supply@ME Capital Piss Poor results – Part II more grotesquely misleading information in the March 2020 Prospectus

If you were not convinced that Supply@ME Capital (SYME) was a con by my analysis of yesterday’s results HERE, how about a second dose? We already know that the March 2020 Prospectus for Supply contained materially inaccurate financial information in respect of the balance sheet because it stated that the unaudited proforma statements of net assets were £226 million which included £224 million of intangible assets.  In the interim accounts for the period ended 30 June 2020, shareholders discovered that there were only £1 million of net assets which included intangible assets of £1 million caused by an incorrect accounting treatment adopted in the Proforma Financial Information. But we now know it is even worse.

If you need cheering up there is an operations update from the fraudsters, liars and con men at US Oil & Gas – USOP

Booted off what is now Aquis for lying to investors and then suspended on a Danish bourse before it closed, no exchange will now list US Oil & Gas (USOP) but still its laughable boss little Brian McDonnell battles on with ludicrous releases as he tries to part savers from their savings:. “It’s the way I tell em” he smirks but folks who have lost almost everything in a company once ramped up to a £300 million valuation but which is worthless, are not laughing.

Deep Dive number crunch on the sham Versarien – a delve into just out subsidiary accounts - Part 1 the Hard Wear and Metallic Products segment

The UK subsidiary accounts for Versarien (VRS) have finally appeared at Companies House (despite being signed on 16 November 2020) and in this deep dive note, I take look at the original trading segment of Versarien namely the Hard Wear and Metallic Products segment and update prior year note. It is, neededless to say, not impressive and showds what a con was the initial IPO in 2013.

For folks like this facts do not matter but the facts of what is happening are very clear, starting at 7 AM last Friday morning.

BREAKING EXPOSE: Sleazy Neill Ricketts of Versarien joins 1MillionTradeMarch, another new Reddit group trying to create a UK GameStop

Earlier I broke the story of how desperate Supply@ME Capital (SYME) owning morons were gathering on Redditt to try to replicate the GameStop effect in the UK and to “FuckTheLondonStockExchange”, manipulating shares in the, currently suspended, con from a £122 million value to £12 billion! I will have some bad news for them from the FCA later. But there is another group on Redditt now trying to organise a GameStop on a range of stocks and guess which sleazy, share dumping, lying CEO of a cash guzzling AIM listed POS has signed up, as I demonstrate below.

Letter to the FCA regarding Supply@ME Capital and why its shares should stay suspended until it truly 'fesses

It was a letter from myself, as an honest and upstanding member of the financial community, to the FCA, the regulators of the Standard List, that got shares in con Supply@ME Capital (SYME) suspended. Now technically, having finally published audited numbers for 2019 and unaudited half calendar 2020 numbers, it should have the shares unsuspended. But what has emerged has been so nonsensical, both for 2019 HERE and for 2020 HERE that I have written to the FCA urging it to maintain the suspension for a while yet.  Now I reckon the floor shitters are so useless at regulating, if not defacating on their own carpets, that they may well unsuspend the stock. But here is why they should not.

Supply@Me Capital Part 2 - an auditor warns

Of course you do not have to listen to me or, in this case to an industry veteran. Why not just listen to Zak Mir, Alex McKinley and the other “experts” and fill your boots with this con when its shares resume trading. On that note, Looker published its delayed accounts today and its shares were unsuspended at 9.35 AM. I wonder why the FCA is not unsuspending Supply@ME Capital’s (SYME) shares yet? Anhow back to the expert auditor who notes:

Supply@ME Interims – truly dismal and also just unbelievable: over to the FCA

We know from yesterday released audited 2019 results that as at this week Supply@ME Capital (SYME) has still not signed one contract with a customer and has no cash with which to service any customers. Yes it has provided term sheets but that is not the same thing. I might well provide a term sheet to Cheryl Cole later today about a servicing proposition I have. But that, I am sad to say, would not be a binding contract! And without a contract or even a purchase order you simply, as a PLC, cannot book any revenues. Which brings us to today’s release of half calendar year 2020 results from the con that is Supply@ME Capital.

Let's pay a hitman to kill Tom Winnifrith say Supply:ME shareholders in "private chatroom" as shares suspended

There is a “private” chat room on Telegram where shareholders in Supply@ME Capital  (SYME) discuss why this con of a company is going to make them rich beyond their wildest dreams. But, with the shares suspended today by the FCA as a result of my good work, naturally they need to think of how they can solve their problems. Natch, the answer is, as you can see below, to kill me. Sure: killing a journalist is always a cunning plan…

Two days after letter to FCA Supply@ME Capital shares suspended – ouzo for the sheriff! A Lesson for the morons

My joy this morning is somewhat tempered by the fact that the River Dee which flows past the Welsh hovel in which I live, is at its highest level this century and I have wasted much time putting sandbags by the doors at the river end of the house. Fingers are crossed as, right now, the waters have just reached door level. Notwithstanding that, it is ouzo on cornflakes time, as shares in con Supply@ME Capital have been suspended at my instigation, albeit two days too late.

Video: Bitcoin fuelled by a con, gold will surge

Analyst Kirian van Hest is a specialist on the Comex and where its delivery default risk may be heading in the coming months. Kirian was expecting more stimulus this last Autumn and more investment in the precious metals. He says that the numbers Comex is reporting are highly suspect, and it appears that it’s now one big fraud. He feels that by February or the latest, the middle of 2021, the Comex’s fraud will become very evident.

Twitter thinks it is okay to call a one-month-old baby a bastard if her Dad is a journalist who you fantasise about killing

Yesterday I reviewed how one fellow on Twitter who was a self-confessed shareholder in a con of a company I continue to expose, Supply@ME Capital (SYME), had responded. He did so by fantasising on Twitter about killing me, about me being bankrupted and by suggesting that my wife had slept with another man to produce our one-month-old daughter, as you can see HERE. Normally I let these things go but just now and again when my family is roped in for abuse I complain to Twitter.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Supply@ME Capital boss Zamboni plays hostile press the way the king of the fraudsters Sam Antar suggests

I start with musings on croquet hoops, something I am geekish enough to comment on, and how it is symbolic of our age. I wander on to consider the craziest job creation scheme in history but one which the mainstream media takes seriously… back to crazy croquet hoops. Then it is news that Capita is closing offices where 15,000 work and the Government’s barking mad plans and pleas to reverse this tide. Finally, the response of Alessandro Zamboni of Supply@ME Capital (SYME) to me terming his company a con and saying he should be in jail. Other than his stupidity in telling an obvious lie, Sam Antar, the king of the fraudsters, would be proud of him.

Worthless Iconic Labs – Toxic Dave Sefton’s latest deal, a bent money go round

Yesterday, Iconic (ICON) announced a “New management services contract with JOE Media Business generating revenues of at least £50,000 a month.  Intention to look at conventional financing options to replace current facility.” This is a total con with those revenues effectively coming from its own money. Its a swizz. Let me explain.

Watchstone says it will defend this robustly. Boy this will be fun.

Pacific Tycoon, the ponzi scam most UK Financial services websites assisted, is collapsing

Pacific Tycoon spent a fortune promoting its ponzi scheme promising sky high returns on investing in shipping freight containers in Asia. Being a ponzi it needed fresh suckers to pay dividends to older investors and to allow those behind this con to steal vast amounts of money. We called this as a con years ago and received demands from Pacific that we withdraw our articles on these criminals. Natch we told Pacific to fuck off.

Conman Simon Petherick of House of Britannia hoodwinks Daily Mail big time

Conman Simon Petherick of House of Britannia is up to his old tricks. His company has bought another outfit Best Of Britannia Retail, which says holds exhibitions promoting British-made products.

Now, for Daily Fail reporters who are too fecking lazy or stupid to do basic research let;s deconstruct their hoodwinking. The Mail states:

A brief podcast as I prepare to spend a morning on the beach with the Mrs. Then it is off to Athens. She thinks she is seeing a la dee da play. I am heading there for riot porn as the Greece Grexit crisis hots up again. Is Tsipras planning to betray the Hellenic Republic? Will he get away with it? Will Greece be booted out of the Euro anyway by the Krauts? Then a few words on the farce at Sefton as Jimmyliar Ellerton tries to make it go bankrupt via legal means. And then to the con Worthington.

And fear not Champagne Charlie Gibson fans, I had not forgotten about you. Just a reminder of why the Edison analyst is a convicted felon HERE and as a bonus a reminder of how it is not only the poor he screws HERE - and a reminder of why I feel the urge to remind you all HERE
