Trusting in AIM?

Tom Winnifrith
Sunday 18 May 2014

I think that you must be aware by now that I have major concerns about the way that AIM operates. The way that money is raised is bad enough in that it creates two classes of investors. The amount of shareholders cash spent on share promotion as opposed to creating value is alarming. Bit my real gripe is that companies appear able to tell outright lies and get away with it.

I have fought a fairly high profile battle against companies that lie and those that over-egg, over promote. I was described as “the Sherriff of AIM” the other day by an investment banker.

The results of trying to curb some of the Wild West excesses of AIM have been everything from a libel writ to death threats and an awful lot in between. However I sense that while the level of personal abuse and attacks against me and my business has never been higher, the tide is turning.
