Zamboni fraud NUBURU Inc - repeating Supply’s formula of announcing deals with unnamed counterparties to pump its shares but accounts delayed

Whilst the insolvent fraud Supply@Me Capital (SYME) had to fess up that the insolvent fraud Nuburu (US:BURU) has failed to pay the $500,000 second instalment of its $5,150,000 financing facility that was due on 31st March, Nuburu has at the date of this note not fessed up to its cash flow problem.

Naming the paedophile teachers at Warwick School No 3 – David Stuke

I have so far named two paedophile teachers from my time at Warwick School: Alan Wilkins , who is dead, and Charles Watmough who is alive and who I tried to doorstep a year ago. In both cases Warwick covered up what it knew and allowed both nonces to move on to fresh fields without a stain on their character. Wilkins, I believe, carried on noncing in Harrogate while Watmough gave private piano lessons to kids in Scarborough. That is Warwick’s shame. Last night a chap from the year below me got in touch having read this website.

Ooops I did it again, Celadon ‘fesses to more financing woes

Oh dear, oh dear as disgraced ex tipster Mike Walters used to say as yet another of his share tips went disastrously wrong.

It announces contracts with a vast top line number but the sales never arrive, profits are a pipe dream and as for cash being generated, forget it. The management are obvious knaves who do not give a FF about listing disclosure rules and the financing of the enterprise is, to say the least, opaque.

Naturally Zak Mir does not disclose that his financially challenged firm Lift Global Ventures (LFT) is paid to promote the shares of Blackbird (BIRD), the company that is so disruptive and cutting edge that in its 28th year has yet to make a profit in any single accounting period. It is surely the ultimate AIM producer of jam tomorrow and with Zak’s kiss of death, things can only get worse. If you have seven minutes of your life to waste

EXPOSE: Why bother with an RNS when you can lie to investors via social media?

If my company had just secured funding for high risk very early stage exploration activity and I discovered that the cash had come from financially naïve marks who thought that they were investing in a safe bond with capital guaranteed and paying 15% interest, I’d not be able to sleep at night. But James Knowles, MD of First Class Metals (FCM) is morally bankrupt. And he is now shown also to be a liar.

The news broken HERE yesterday that the 79th Group appears to have been a scam might not have been such a surprise if the dubious quality advisers who persuaded their clients to lend them money if the advisers or their investees had done some research. The first major red flag is that 79th Grp isn’t registered with the UK regulator, the FCA. So it was conducting unauthorised investment business. How the feck did the FCA then approve a prospectus allowing to to seize control of First Class Metals (FCM). It gets worse.

Tatch says a big reason Spain is booming is that it welcomes migrants whereas we, already admitting a million a year, are not letting in enough.

Chill Brands: is this the final kiss of death

The shares remain suspended at 2.15p as the accounts for Chill Brands (CHLL) for the year to March 31 2024 are still not out. The company is running on vapours ( geddit?) and the UK government is banning disposable vapes from July so meaning that customers are just not re-ordering any product so making the cash crisis even worse. The financial support of Johnny Swann who has made the creation of a small fortune by investing a large one in the worst companies listed in London into an art form is a kiss of death. But now comes another from Manchester Metropolitan University.

I am not deterred. I am used to Predator executives having a go at me and it strikes me that I’m still standing while Griffiths is the last executive director left on board! Adding to the earlier bearcast on this crock, the video below shows Griffith lying. Start watching for the five minutes from 19 minutes in…

Walking is harder. LunglifeAI (LLAI) listed on the AIM sewer on July 2 2021 saying that it was “a developer of clinical diagnostic solutions for lung cancer enhanced by AI.” It raised £17 million on listing at 176p.

Versarien - a serial cash burner, bankruptcy August surely now inevitable: do the maths!

Version (VRS) is a serial placer to raise cash to fund ongoing losses. Despite having sold its Korean business and AAC Cyroma it still launched 5 placings in just over a year with the latest being on Friday. Although the Korean purchaser has struggled to pay the full £604,000 on the agreed schedule it has so far ponied up £512,000. The AAC Cyroma purchaser is paying the £550,000 consideration in 16 quarterly instalments. So the two mature businesses sold to date haven’t been big cash generators. Now do the maths!

I disagreed on the rape gangs, thereby falling into his trap and, in his view, thus admitting that I was a Fascist.

Six days ago it announced a placing and retail offer at 0.0275p, a 30% discount to the prevailing mid.. Today that funding has collapsed and so there will be no coke and hookers cash for the brokers and Premier looks screwed.

Somehow Technology Minerals (TM1) managed to persuade its auditors that it had no financial worries largely because as of 25 February it would be free to sell $10 million worth of shares in Nasdaq listed European Lithium (Nasdaq: CRML). The auditors have shown no professional scepticism here at all.

Alpha Growth - challenges awaiting incoming auditor

In my weekend GOTCHA article I noted that Alpha Growth (ALGW) was shy in naming its new auditors which its has had over 8 months to sort out. On further reflection perhaps I was being too generous, I blame the Christmas spirit. Perhaps, the absence of a named firm is because no appointment has yet been made and the change in year end was a kick the can down the road exercise until it can find a new auditor. As I note below Alpha faces some real challenges in finding an auditor due to the following:

This looks to further demonstrate the exploration, as well as production, potential we’ve been emphasising here. And this is critical for Nalunaq on its own justifies a premium to the current share price but it is the massive exploration potential that will attract potential corporate bidders within a couple of years.

It is not the big story but Steve O’Hara has confirmed he has a sell order in on Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX) shares. It’s been there for a while and shares are only sold inn small volumes on up days. Those who think that Optibiotix (OPTI) is either the only seller or a big seller are kidding themselves. On some days in recent weeks O’Hara has accounted for c6% of volumes on most days it has been nil.

Photo Article from the Welsh Hovel: I relent and the Christmas Tree goes up and is decorated in a multi-cultural way

If the Mrs and kids had their way the Christmas tree would go up sometime in September. Having explained that a live tree should only be inside for a short as possible period to give it any chance of survival I relented and yesterday it came in. We have a carol singing party here at the weekend so I could not hold on much longer. At the top is an angel made by daughter Olaf 19 years ago when she was just four. It has survived.

An economics lesson for a restaurant in Warwickshire: price setting and price taking

After weeks of badgering the restaurant where my siblings and I had a booking for 23 four days before Christmas finally came back with a Christmas menu. £28.50 for 2 courses, £33.50 for three. With thirsty eldest daughter Olaf among the 23, I reckon that, with drinks, we were looking at a bill of c£800. We cancelled and are now bringing our own food to the local Scout hut. I have some surplus booze from events here and so we are all sorted. The total cost will be under a ton. But the restaurant’s response was instructive as to the current climate.

VINDICATION (sort of): The FRC slams Crowe and its CEO over the Akazoo fraud but it lets Deloitte off the hook: this is a fail for the watchdog

A reminder of this Greek fraud which I was the first to expose and which I doorstepped in Athens almost a decade ago. The company was then called InternetQ (INTQ) and was listed on AIM and Deloitte signed off on its books which were sheer fiction. Its sales were made up and it was a 100% fraud. Having proved that on this website, the UK regulators did SFA and InternetQ was taken private with the assistance of Martin Hughes of Tosca Fund and rebranded as Akazoo. Three years later it listed in New York, Gabriel Grego credited me as he did a new dossier, US Regulators acted at once, not being pussies like their counterparts in London, and the whole con collapsed..

Has nobody explained to Versarien owning gerbils what an RNS reach is? Nonsense deal announced

I would ban RNS Reach announcements. These are announcements that are not deemed by a Nomad or advisor to be price sensitive, ones that do not flick the revenue dial more than an iota. So, they cannot go out as an RNS but must be a Reach, a marketing communication. Thus, companies such as Versarien (VRS) use them to ramp the shares with non news, believing (rightly) that their investors are too stupid to know what is going on.

Cavendish on Skinbiotherapeutics: God save us from Ashman as his M&A hunger is not sated

Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX) is very simple. If you believe that Croda could deliver £25 million GP or anywhere close to that as CEO Stuart Ashman has intimated the shares are stupendously cheap at 17.75p. Ashman needs to do nothing apart from deliver other corporate deals and more GP from his existing IP and no more shares need be issued. Hell’s teeth why issue shares now or indeed at twice or three times the price given that on Ashman’s Croda numbers the shares could easily be 100p or even 200p! But Ashman is a git.

It was largely underwritten, including the directors putting in £2.1 million, and we now discover that it was massively oversubscribed and £27.5 million was raised. Almost no discount, real boardroom support, not that much dilution, that is what you call a real placing by a quality play.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Just Eat and Grub Hub show fund managers even bigger morons than Bulletin Board Morons as $7.3bn turned into $650m

Comparing farmers today to 1980s miners is duff economics and shows the class hatred that really fuels the left

Sometimes the left lets its mask slip and is open about how it feels about those who actually get their hands dirty in their job of work. When Joe Biden called Trump supporters garbage he did not mis-speak he really does think that working class folk who eat at MacDonalds and wear baseball caps are garbage. When Emily Thornberry MP laughed at white man van with his England flag it is because she despises him. Now senior Labour guru John McTernan has let slip what Labour thinks of farmers. It is shocking.

Yesterday I discussed how Zak Mir has blown up the balance sheet of Lift Global Ventures (LFT) by ending most of that balance sheet, £750,000 to heavily insolvent Trans Africa Energy. Now I take you step by step through why this is such an awful loan.

BREAKING: Bear raider Tim Kempster calls out Predator Oil & Gas for lying about its cash needs

UK Oil & Gas on Channel 4 News last night: did not sound good

Watching Channel 4 news is something I do now and again as a bit of self torture. Guest after guest lines up to accuse Donald Trump of being Hitler, to nominate Hamas for the Nobel peace price and chancellor Rachel Thieves for the Nobel prize for economics. There is no balance whatsoever and presenter Krishnan is still the same ghastly smug turd that he was back at Hertford College Oxford thirty five years ago. Last night I watched and there was a long report on UK Oil & Gas.

So if a GM is held Mahmud is going to have to get Schroders (7%) and other sub 3% IIs and private investors on board and hope that private investors, whether thirsty retail experts or otherwise, break his way. Why the hell should they after years of financial and corporate governance disasters.

Conroy Gold £259,000 fund raise but it is still totally insolvent. What is the point?

I start back in 2014 with this article from the BBC suggesting that P:rofessor Richard Conroy was sitting on an £11 billion gold mine on the border between Eire and God’s chosen lands of Ulster. Ten years have passed and there is still no sign of work beginning on that mine. In fact it is worse than that. I remember attending a City lunch where the Prof pushed the same yarn and that must have been twenty five years ago. Anyone who still believes in this myth, especially after a jv partner walked earlier this year, really is delusional.

Let’s ignore the fact that the provider The Avantgarde Group is itself financially insolvent on its filed accounts for the year ended 31 December 2021 and hasn’t paid a single cash call under latest facility.
