Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: a challenge for Bexley YC's 57 year old chairman, the Quantum scandal and Amaroq for the FTSE 250 this week?

I start with the welfare calculator from the TPA and numbers that are stunning us all but also look at Covid bounce back loan fraud. That brings me to the economic flatulence of Kemi’s Tories and why its tax pledges play so badly in places like Wrexham, a must win seat. That is my challenge for Evil Banksta and his YC chums. Then it is Amaroq (AMRQ), Kendrick (KEN), the Quantum Blockchain (QBT) scandal and Petra Diamonds (PDL). PS Do enter Lucian’s prize contest HERE

Second Letter to David Bramhill – ahead of the EGM about that AGM legal advice

I wrote to the embattled chairman and trougher in chief at Union Jack Oil (UJO) yesterday and oddly enough the despicable David Bramhill has yet to reply. Perhaps he is busy pushing Reabold Resources (RBD) to update us all on the number of votes now pledged to reject the crap offer via Letters of Intent. I know that, again, Reabold is sitting on letters and so the total is now greater than 19% of the equity. I have today written about the EGM and AGM putting him and his lawyers on notice

It has sent c£70 million to money heaven and now has a bit of bother with the tax man. Meanwhile Celadon (CLN) has spaffed £165 million and now, I can reveal, is going into administration.

Letter to AQSE Regulation: Have you verified with Pennpetro that David Lenigas is fit and proper to chair an AQSE Company

As I flagged up earlier, David Lenigas has emerged as the new chairman of wind energy, then bitcoin in treasury and now oil explorer Energy B (NRGB) on AQSE. But after events at Pennpetro (PPP) should Big Dave be allowed to run a public lavatory let alone a public company? Has AQSE Regulation done full due diligence on him and spoken to the new board at Pennpetro PLC (PPP) which has made explicit allegations about Mr Lenigas. I have dropped AQSE Regulation a note.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast No 1: BSF's 4th dodgy financing, the strange world of Indigo Capital LP

Do not confuse Indigo Capital Investments in the Caymans with a credible website HERE with Indigo Capital LP with a mickey mouse website HERE.  That is what the chaps at Frankenstein Meat company BSF Enterprise (BSFA) and scumbag brokers Bowspirit want. But as I show they are very different bears. This is now the 4th BSF financing in less than a year that the FCA should be all over.

Optibiotix: Letter to the Financial Reporting Council

My guess is that, unless the venue is switched to an old fashioned telephone box, the event will not exactly be packed out.  These days most folks holdings are worth less than a Standard Class return to London so why bother to hear Lyin’ Steve O’Hara promise more jam tomorrow on a product where he  promised an imminent commercial launch almost a decade ago?  Meanwhile I have written to my good pals at the Financial Reporting Council about the litany of schoolboy errors in the 2025 accounts which emerged last week.

In today's bearcast I look in detail at Quantum Data Energy (QDE) and why its toxix. I look at Bluebird Mining Ventures (BMV), Mirriad (MIRI), Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) and my application to shareholders in Satsuma (SATS) as to why they should appoint me. Can anyone explain why my plan does not make more sense than what the current board is doing?

Letter to Ross Andrews: re Valereum

I am utterly gobsmacked that Guild Advisory, run by Ross Andrews has not resigned as advisor to AQSE Lobsterpot posterboy Valereum (VLRM). One wonders what exactly a company needs to do to get Andrews quitting, other than weaponizing my mother’s suicide. The last statement from Valereum left two big new questions unanswered. Ross is refusing to return calls so I want it on the record what he should be forcing his client to state in an RNS.

I really am not your man but I look at why Kefi is weaker today and discuss how shares move ahead and during inclusion in the FTSE 250. I also suggest milestones we would like to see at Amaroq. Then it is gold prices and the Orange Man. Valereum (VLRM) and finaly a detailed look at Hamak Strategy (HAMA). Is its death spiral ATM working and if so why no RNS?

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: How come crime does seem to pay?

I start with a few matters about ShareStock and especially the AI talk - as I mow the lawn for the first time today I urge you to book your seats HERE.  Then onto crime. I start with the Dominic White and Alessandrto Zamboni crime gang, move onto  Chris Cleverly then to David Williams of Avanti Communications (AVN) before ending up with Seth Freedman and Nick Leeson and Amazing AI (AAI) and the question of whether Lift Global Ventures (LFT) should be allowed to gain financially from its part in what I increasingly see as a criminal conspiracy.

Open Letter to Mike Bloomberg & John Micklethwait as Bloomberg journalists assist Nick Leeson & Seth Freedman as they seek to “destroy me” in a campaign paid for by a fraud

Earlier today I revealed how fraudulent company Amazing AI paid Nick Leeson of Barings infamy and Seth Freedman, who was hired to harass the women Harvey Weinstein raped, to destroy me to protect that fraud. At the heart of a vile dirty tricks campaign were Bloomberg journalists Meg Short and Will Shaw who liaised with Freedman on when Amazing AI would issue releases and who promoted a defamatory dossier created by Freedman to a number of PLC CEOs.  Bloomberg prides itself on its ethical journalism and thus I have written to its founder Mike Bloomberg and its editor in chief John Micklethwait with six demands or at least requests. Suffice to say in reaching out to Bloomberg I have had no feedback or response at all. And so I publish this letter outside the paywall. And the next time anyone from Bloomberg boasts about ethical journalism tell them to stick this letter, you know where...

Letter to the FCA re paid thugs Nick Leeson & Seth Freedman protecting fraud and what it means for whistleblowing in London

The UK financial regulator the FCA has, quite correctly, taken big steps to encourage whistleblowing. It knows that if the London markets are to be credible and seen as credible then whistleblowers, and indeed, journalists need to be able to report investment and financial crime. The FCA will thus be horrified by today’s hard evidence publishedHERE that thugs Nick Leeson and Seth Freedman are taking money from fraudsters or investors in fraud to threaten me, but one suspects others, to protect fraud. In fact I know the FCA is horrified as I have been discussing this with it since last week. I have now written to its CEO Nikhil Rathi.

I own both shares and indeed have bought more in recent weeks If you trust the management then even today Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) could be a 4 bagger and Eco Buildings (ECOB) a ten bagger on a 2 year view in both cases. That there is such upside is because folks do not entirely trust managers, in the case of Eco they really do not. It is risk/reward. I discuss.

I look at Georgina Exploration (GEX) which needs a 'fess up RNS PDQ, Satsuma (SATS) which, even back at 0.82p, is 60-100% overvalued, the fall out from the Tiger Alpha (TIR) unwind and how it may whack the Colin Bird mining minnow penny dreadfuls.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast No2: end of an era, farewell Argo Blockchain, farewell Colin Bird and The Lemming crosses a line with mental health slurs

Julie Meyer and Paul Mathieson actually mentioned my mum's suicide but Lingerie on Expenses explicitly linked mum's mental health to me, suggesting I had issues..To that end The Lemming has commissioned a report into my mental health and sent it to me concluding that the Lemming is sane, balanced and a superb journalist while my work is not credible because of "unresolved drivers behind his behaviour". I wonder what issues he is hinting at after recent weeks? This crosses any line and is the end of an era. No more Christmas cards for the rodent community. Then it is also an end of an era at Tiger Alpha (TIR) as Colin Bird is resigned and at Argo Blockchain (ARB) as it is delisted. I discuss.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast No 1: examining my ethics on Skins, flagging up my Optibiotix intentions and why I'm not selling Probiotix

Some of you have read my barrage of criticism of Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX) as a pump so that I could dump my shares. My many times repeated bearcast assertions that I cannot recommend others own the stock are to be ignored (even just on Friday as I stuck the knife in I concluded with the CRAP phrase! - a phrase any City person knows to mean sell) and that I am a scumbag for not flagging here that I was going to sell my shares before I did. This and another Evri disaster put me in a bad mood. I walk you through events from Friday morning and explain why I believe I acted correctly but apologise if you think I did not. I offer AGM voting advice for those still holding Skins. To appease the mob, I flag up that I may sell my Optibiotix (OPTI) shares but explain why I am not selling Probiotix (PBX)

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast No 1: 75 minutes with Andrew Webley, he's not a grifter, he is a nice guy but what about Smarter Web shares?

For various reasons I found myself on a video call with Andrew Webley today. We had scheduled a 30 minute chat but we talked for 75 minutes. I am a miserable man with few friends but I admit that I like Webley and would happily go for a non alcoholic drink with him. He has made errors but I can accept that they were not deliberate and he is thus definitively NOT a grifter. So does that make shares in The Smarter Web Company (SWC) a buy? No. And I explain why. But at 44.5p are they super overvalued? They might be if bitcoin crashes or if Strategy (US: MSTR) blows up and I don't think Webley would disagree. But he, like many others reckon neither will happen despite the obvious red flag of the corporate jet Strategy is buying for Michael Saylor as you can see in a regulatory disclosure below. . I discuss all of this and bring you the good news that Webley will join me on stage at Sharestock 2026 on September 5. To get your tickets at 2025 prices you must book before December 31 HERE

UPDATED after 2nd CEO call: How low will some folks stoop for money? I ask the question of PR platform Investor Meet

It seems that for the 3rd time in six weeks Amazing AI (AAI) is set to appear on the Investor Meet platform. I wonder how much Investor Meet is trousering for platforming Paul Mathieson who most of the City is rushing to cold shoulder. I called Investor and spoke to its CEO Marc Downes following it up with the email below. Downes seems to think that both Amazing and I have equally valid two sides to a story. He had not bothered to fund out why Guild had quit as advisor last week. Giving moral equivalence to a man who publicly weaponises the suicide of a woman and to the son of that woman is despicable but that is the position Downes seems to take. My email , copying in my lawyers, reads:

I do not short sell, I do not profit from short selling, I am not part of a gang and, as such, suggestions that I am are defamatory. Let’s get the FCA and all the regulators to investigate me in full. I want the regulators to investigate every aspect of my finances so to clear my name once and for all. That would, of course, give me the option of a low cost route to commence legal proceedings against those who suggest otherwise. Remember the onus of proof is on those making the claim.

I look back at how my pal Lucian kicks tyres as a short seller including with Futura Medical (FUM). At the start of the year it forecast calendar 2025 sales of 18.5 million quid. Two downgrades later that could be little more than a Bernie. I discuss how Lucian’s original research meant this was bound to happen.

But a placing that needs to be reversed, a potentially false and fast market and a false excuse for a demotion to AQSE, this scandal has it all. The FCA should be all over Cel AI (CLAI)

Always listen to Mr Bond! – this duo could be zeros

The price of any financial asset is set by the marginal buyer or seller.

I start with three highlights of the Superbowl. Then Galantas (GAL), Xtract Resources (XTR), Greatland Gold (GGP), Amaroq (AMRQ), African Pioneer (AFP) and Caracal (GCAT) in light of a $2900 gold price. Then the, at peak, £300 million fraud Supply@ME Capital (SYME).

Oh dear, oh dear as disgraced ex tipster old mother Mike Walters would say as yet another of his disastrous tips went horribly wrong. In this podcast I discuss Belluscura (BELL), the sort of POS Walters would have tipped and also where we stand now with Nigel Wray, Adam Reynolds and David Pountney. For me, surely, even Magna Carta ( chairman of the chatroom gerbil, Winnifrith Derangement Syndrome society), must concede a double triumph?

It says it is investigating past directors, the fuzz should be investigating. Investors have been defrauded, surely Lenigas should go to jail or, at the very least, never run a listed company again.
