Lombard Risk Management - headline blather excellent, but hidden cashburn terrifying

Under its old management led by John Wisbey, Lombard Risk Management (LRM) used to make profits and pay dividends. How fucking old hat and boring is that? Think like a millennial and get the cashburning vibe, that is the way forward and who better to do that than a man fired by Oracle (yet who boasts about his Oracle career ) & who was at the helm of a spectacular dotcom disaster, Phil "Interx" Crawford. Interims today score straight 10s for bullshit headline blather. But look at the hidden cashburn, extrapolate and panic.

Lombard Risk: The Curse of Phil “InterX” Crawford – tits up by Easter?

I tipped shares in Lombard Risk Management (LRM) but cut (very small) losses at 11p when founder John Wisbey was ousted and replaced at the helm by Phil “InterX” Crawford. That company train wrecked with Crawford at the helm back in 2001 and interims last week from Lombard suggest that Crawford is going for a repeat performance at Lombard.

Lombard Risk - now run by a prize shit and a liar after boardroom coup - sell

Lombard Risk Management (LRM) has announced that “John Wisbey has informed the board of his intention to stand down as Chief Executive and director of the company with immediate effect in order to pursue other opportunities”. We understand differently.

It seems very odd that the company’s founder who has worked for it for 25 years would suddenly decide to quit immediately “to pursue other opportunities” - and believe this not to be the case. In fact we know that it is not the case. This was a boardroom coup led by Chairman Philip Crawford who  has gained power as now full-time Executive Chairman, apparently “on an interim basis until such time that the board is in a position to appoint a new Chief Executive”.  Crawford is a scumbag and this RNS is quite simply a lie.

Lombard Risk Management Placing - this is why private investors vomit at the mention of AIM

John Wisbey the CEO of AIM listed compliance software group Lombard Risk Management (LRM) is a good friend of mine. Or at least he was - he may decide that he is not anymore after he reads this. Recent events at his firm show private investors once again being screwed on the AIM Cesspit. John is a good bloke & Lombard a good company but this is why mug punters are turned off listed markets. Here goes.

Lombard Risk Management Interims – Still a buy at 10.5p (+ CEO Chat)

A long chat with Lombard Risk Management (LRM) CEO John Wisbey has finally come to an end. Interims today were as expected. The issue that I find hard is the company’s policy of capitalising R&D Spend. I shall discuss that in some detail below. I wonder if others quizzing him today on the site I ran for 12 years – t1ps.com – have focussed on this or have pulled their punches?
