BREAKING: Valereum – this is FRAUD Part 1 on the California Bezzle

How credulous are Guild Advisory and AQSE Regulation that they are again letting Valereum (VLRM) get away with what is an obvious fraud? Today the company claims it has security for its $289.5 million of untradeable crypto in the form of a California gold mine with 8 million ounces worth $8.17 billon or perhaps $32 billion. My arse!

Valereum ‘fesses to lying AGAIN – how long can this madness be tolerated?

As is normally, but not exclusively, the case with Valereum (VLRM), the lying is related to Quorium Global Photonics (QGP) the Cayman based start up founded by the son and business partner of a convicted Ponzi fraudster with a $200 website. Valereum handed out shares equating to 49% of its equity in return for a $200 million five year bond from the start up paying cash coupons of $79.5 million. Only…

On AQSE Directors take responsibility for an RNS as opposed to Aim where an advisor must verify it as true, but does Andrews have no shame as we get the latest updated nonsense on the deal with Quorium Global Photonics, the Cayman start up run by the son and business partner of a convicted ponzi fraudster.

Valereum bailout placing – buying the loyalty of, now compromised, advisors: this stinks

In allowing Valereum (VLRM) to buy off its advisors by handing out 1 million warrants with a 1p strike and another 2.5 million with a 2.5p strike in return for not demanding answers to massive questions but instead organizing a bailout fund raise, AQSE Regulation shows why it is not fit for purpose.

I simply cannot understand why shares in Valereum (VLRM) continue to trade after it has been shown to have deceived investors so often.

A Valereum-ologist poses 9 questions for Gary Cottle’s next investor meet presentation, I have one more

It seems as if Valereum (VLRM) CEO Gary Cottle is having another Investor Meet session where he promises to answer shareholder questions. I can’t see the point of thus as Gary told such a whopping monster porky at the last, March 31, IM claiming that QGP would be handing over no less than $500,000 within 5 business days. It then turned out to be $300,000 and its unclear if, in fact, any of that has been paid. So with the caveat that Cottle is a fecking liar not fit to tun a bath let alone a public company, a reader has sent him nine questions to answer. I have 1 more. The odds on Cottle answering at all?

A tale of two defaulters – this never ends well

Companies that default on one payment often default on more, it is a sign of a company in real trouble. However they dress it up, a company that cannot pay its bills, especially if it is clearly a fiat guzzler, is one that is simply not investment grade. Two companies leap to mind on news today.

BREAKING: Valereum undeclared related party troughing

Comrade Richard Poulden is no longer involved with Valereum (VLRM) the AQSE listed dog that he, his bromantic partner Dave Lenigas and brown envelope man Zak Mir pumped with claims of a 100p or 200p valuation. Investors who bought into that pump did their conkers and the shares are now 4.375p with a new band of scholars and gentlemen on board, lead by CEO Gary Cottle.

The RNS that screams at you that the Dave Lenigas abomination the London Bitcoin Company is running out of fiat

If your company was generating cash you would not be dumping shares you hold in another company when they trade at near all time lows. But that is exactly what The London Bitcoin Company (BTC), run by David Lenigas, is doing.

David Lenigas promote London Bitcoin now 90% down in 37 days as Valereum dumps: shares still hugely expensive

You cannot say that I did not warn everybody that David Lenigas run bitcoin in treasury spoof London Bitcoin Company (BTC), formerly Vinanz, would end in tears. Perhaps some Jew haters would rather I did not term Lenigas a promoter and serial destroyer of value, allowing him to fleece new punters. But I did warn and warn again. In 37 days the shares have collapsed from a peak ramp 55p to just 5.5p bid. Look at the Lenigas tweets from 37 das ago and all the way up and down and feel disgust. You will be revolted and may even pity the lambs who liked or retweeted his words with such enthusiasm, lapping up the hopium and dreaming of being rich.

Valereum - £19m investment deal collapses but something looks very wrong here, I assume ASQE Regulation on the case

Actually I do not. AQSE Regulation has shown over its failure to deal with the prospectus fraudsters still running Eight Capital Partners (ECP) that they are just as useless as the Oxymorons at AIM regulation. I bet both are pretty hot on sniffing out directors who might have made a sexist or transphobic remark but in terms of stopping white collar crime? Forget it.

Valereum another body blow in Gibraltar, just shut this POS down

Shares in Aquis listed Valereum (VLRM) remain suspended on the Aquis lobster pot at just 3.85p. Founder Richard Poulden has scuttled away and the former rampers in chief David Lenigas and brown envelope man Zak Mir who told us the shares would hit either 100p or 200p have gone strangely silent. The company is technically insolvent. Today another body blow…

BREAKING: More ouzo – its all gone horribly wrong at Richard Poulden/David Lenigas/ Zak Mir promote Valereum

Oh dear, oh dear. Do you remember when the Sith Lord Zak Mir was being pushed brown envelopes to say these shares were heading to 200p while David Lenigas said they were going to 100p repeatedly on twitter? Or was it the other way round. Anyhow that pumping allowed Richard Poulden, assisted by spoofery from London’s new Lord Mayor to do a placing at 64p. I have repeatedly exposed the shenanigans and now vindication for me. Ouzo for the Sheriff no more brown envelopes for Mir.

The rotten flaw at the heart of Aquis – directors can say whatever they want: true or false: Ref Richard Poulden & Valereum

Yesterday I flagged up the laughable interims from the Richard Poulden/David Lenigas/Zak Mir ramp Valereum (VLRM) in which the company claimed that a £6 million overdraft facility was a current asset.  I know that both Poulden and Mir were keen supporters of the bogus cult of Modern Monetary Theory so maybe that is where this all comes from:  rather than printing money, Poulden is printing assets.  I blamed Ms Heena Karani and advisors Peterhouse for allowing this novel, and wholly bogus, new development in accounting to be published. I was wrong and offer my apologies to Ms. Karani and to Peterhouse. Well sort of.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Dumb & Dumber Britain, Blowjo edition

I start with two examples of utter stupidity from the man known as BlowJo. Then on how Big Corporate is rallying round Halifax and its woke hectoring of its customers. Then onto Nanosynth (NNN) were the share price target is now a fall of 80-00% and Valereum (VLRM), the Richard Poulden NFT ramp where I predict a share price collapse within weeks.

More Ramptastic tweeting from David Lenigas on Valereum (minus 63% in three months)

David Lenigas is to ramptastic tweeting what Colin Bird is to pre placing pumps. He just cannot help himself. Today’s special is a picture of two men in late middle age standing in a tax haven shaking hands. Apparently this is very significant for Aquis lobster pot listed Valereum (VLRM), the crypto play pumped to 80p three months ago as the shameless chartist turned penny share stock promoter Zak Mir called it up to £2,  That helped it get away a £1 million placing at 70p. Its shares now trade at 29p but even that is still a staggering 20 times net assets for this loss making business. Maybe three men could shake hands tomorrow in some tax dodging location and that would be even more significant, eh Dave?

David Lenigas and Zak Mir MUST be on drugs - the Richard Poulden ramp Valereum

Valereum (VLRM) in the Aquis lobster pot has, as of today, zero revenues and – if it is lucky – £300,000 net cash. But mention the magig bitcoin word, throw in a few tokens and some magic beans and, hey presto, promoter David Lenigas and the Sith Lord Zak Mir reckon the shares should hit 60p. That would be a valuation of £38 million. Whatever you say Gents…today’s ramptastic love triangle from twitter is below.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Atalaya vs Kefi

I start with a few comments on paedophiles as yet another one is brought to my attention from Warwick School. Then it is on to the tawdry world of insanity that is Valereum (VLRM), a true nest of ramping snakes. I then cover Sosandar (SOS), Atalaya (ATYM) and Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI). Finally, Boohoo.com (BOO) has made a very generous donation to rogue bloggers for Woodlarks and we are almost 1/4 of the way to target. Please make a small donation tonight to get us to that 25% mark, we are just £600 short, HERE.
