Breaking: the crook Brian McDonnell of USOP uses EU data law to hide his crooked past

I thought that we had left the EU but it seems that its laws which allow crooks to hide their shameful past from google citing privacy are still in effect. The latest scumbag playing this game to hide ShareProphets exposes is Brian McDonnell, the scamster in charge of US Oil & Gas, once a listed company valued (incorrectly) by the market at £350 million but now, chucked off three exchanges, a shell teetering on the verge of insolvency despite Brian continuing toile to investors and to half-inch their cash.

Brian McDonnell of US Oil & Gas doubles down on being a thief: why won’t the Garda act?

As you know I always take a charitable view of my fellow Irishmen but there are a few who strain my loyalty. That blood stained murderous bastard Gerry Adams for starters. And Bono. The old tax minimiser is an A grade arsehole and a world beating hypocrite.  And then there is the wee lying leprechaun Brian McDonnell.

Lying bastard Brian McDonnell of US Oil & Gas shown to be a liar again as he fails to hand cash back to investors

It pains me to be harsh on a fellow Irishman and, thus, it is with a heavy heart that I yet again call out little Brian McDonnell of US Oil & Gas for the lying scumbag that he is. But this time the lying POS is holding onto cash that is not his. This lie is his most serious yet. How I wish the little shit would sue me for libel but instead he only picks on poor defenceless posters on long since disappeared Bulletin Boards. Anyhow the boss of US Oil & Gas (USOP), once valued at £300 million but having been booted off 3 markets for, er … lying, is at it again.

To have your shares booted off not one but three exchanges looks like more than carelessness – it's USOP comedy time again

First, whatever Aquis was called back then booted US Oil & Gas (USOP) off for telling porkies. Then it was the Danish GSX Exchange where this company was once valued at £300 million which booted USOP off for telling porkies. Now we have a hat-trick which is quite some going for wee Brian McDonnell – the liar who runs this fraud which I have documented fully on this website. But this time I think it is Brian who wanted the shares booted off. Let me explain.

If you need cheering up there is an operations update from the fraudsters, liars and con men at US Oil & Gas – USOP

Booted off what is now Aquis for lying to investors and then suspended on a Danish bourse before it closed, no exchange will now list US Oil & Gas (USOP) but still its laughable boss little Brian McDonnell battles on with ludicrous releases as he tries to part savers from their savings:. “It’s the way I tell em” he smirks but folks who have lost almost everything in a company once ramped up to a £300 million valuation but which is worthless, are not laughing.

Fantasist of the day: Brian McDonnell of US Oil & Gas – “it’s the way I tell em”

Little Brian is a comic genius. His company may have been booted off two markets junior to AIM for gargantuan regulatory breaches but USOP, once ramped to £500 million, struggles on raising money as a private company. And so it still issues releases to sucker in more investors. They are a scream. Little Brian has won the highly contested “ShareProphets CEO fantasist of the year” several times in the past few years and with a release today, he must be a very strong contender for 2020.

US Oil & Gas - is it time for comic relief already? The fraudsters excel themselves

I have been saving a duo of no-one is watching O'Clock announcements from Thursday 10 March and a third the next morning from the fraudsters at US Oil & Gas (USOP) for a day when I needed cheering up. After an hour in the dentist's chair, today is such a day. This is sheer comedy genius from Brian "the dog ate my drilling data" McDonnell. Say what you want about wee Brian but you cannot deny that this guy is the funniest Irishman since Father Ted. Where to start?

A Christmas cracker from the liars at US Oil & Gas

"It's the way I tell em" used to say Frank Carson, before continuing "Its a cracker". But old Frank had nothing on his fellow Irish comedian wee Brian McDonnell of US Oil & Gas (USOP) which served up a stormer of a Christmas update yesterday. Brian, you crack me up...it's the way you tell em. That classic "The dog ate our drill test results" still has me in stitches. And now this.

US Oil & Gas 5 days to shareholder Death

Next Tuesday, GXG Markets shuts down which is terminally bad news for shareholders in the joke lie machine company US Oil & Gas (USOP). Other companies are migrating to ISDX but having been booted off that market already for regulatory failings it seems unlikely that liar in chief wee Brian McDonnell will be welcomed with open arms there. Meanwhile the cash situation is now critical. I fear that the end is nigh for my fellow Irishmen.

The US Oil & Gas fraud – GXG markets shows up AIM for the casino it really is

We have many, many times accused Bulletin Board darling US Oil & Gas (USOP) of being a total fraud run by a serial liar Brian McDonnell. Wee Brian has huffed and puffed in private to deluded shareholders about taking legal action against me but he has not done so because he is a proven liar and his company is a proven fraud and the little shit knows it. The latest news from the GXG market where USOP shares remain suspended really shows what a casino AIM has become.

GXG, to its credit has today ordered a full independent due diligence report on this POS fraud checking whether any of its claims made are actually true. You can see its release HERE.

When that report comes in GXG will decide whether US Oil & Gas is to retain a listing or not. It is a racing cert that it will not because this is a fraud

US Oil & Gas - Christmas cracker – Suspension & Full Regulatory Investigation

I have pointed out numerous times that GXG listed US Oil & Gas (USOP) is a worthless POS with joke assets run by liars. Just check the archives on ShareProphets. Wee Brian McDonnell has served up a Christmas treat for us all with an announcement from GXG that trading in the shares has been suspended because of a disorderly market. FFS

Getting suspended on GXG is almost impossible. It is like managing to get defeated in a Mensa test by Cheryl Cole. But somehow US Oil has managed it.

US Oil & Gas’s London adviser Alexander David Securites ( who I have warned about this POS so have only themselves to blame for the reputational damage they now suffer) told me in a rather po faced manner

US Oil & Gas – More Lies: Target Price 0p

As I have demonstrated on a number of occasions US Oil & Gas (USOP) lies to the sad band of financial masochists on its shareholder list on a serial basis and its CEO young Brian McDonnell is a liar. In that vein I bring you its latest release from Friday which is par for the course. i.e total bollocks.

Sheer Comedy from Conrad Windham and All Star Minerals – the man is a genius

I had hitherto suggested that serial liar Liam McGrattan and his gopher at US Oil & Gas wee Brian McDonnell were the true comedy geniuses of the listed world, but they have a new challenger, young Conrad Windham of All Star Minerals (ASMO). All Star has today issued a release:

All Star announces that it has received notification of a technical default on the Convertible Loan Note ("CLN") that was issued to the Company by ISDX listed, U3O8 Holdings Plc. 

The CLN which was of £46,500 principal and carried a 10% per annum coupon was issued on 8 October 2013. Under the terms the Convertible Loan Note is immediately redeemable. 

The board is in communication with U3O8 Holdings Plc about the situation and will update the market in due course. 

Ends

The board of All Star is Conrad Windham and Tomas Nugent.

Now what the release does not say is that the board of U308 is …..Conrad Windham and Tomas Nugent. 

Er…..so let’s imagine the scene. It is 10 O’Clock in the office of All Star Minerals and Conrad wanders in with two extra skinny double shot latte’s with cinnamon toppings and pipes up: “Tomas compadre this one is on me, any mail for us today?

Yup” says Tomas. “I’ve just opened it. It is the letter we sent ourselves yesterday”. 

Oh”…

US Oil & Gas – Last trade was at 34p – get out now while you can – target 0p.

Last time I warned about the GXG listed POS that is US Oil & Gas (USOP) was on July 28 HERE when the market cap was £20 million. Based on the last trade at 34p it is now £13.98 million. It is overvalued by £13.98 million sell while you can. My target price remains 0p

GXG is a matched bargain platform so the next person to sell will get only 31p, then the one after that is into the twenties. If you wait you will be getting virtually nothing for these worthless shares.  Why are they worth nothing?

Brian McDonnell of US Oil & Gas you are a liar and a fraud and should go to prison

Telling investors something that is untrue in an approved announcement (an RNS) as you endeavour to issue shares to raise extra cash is not good. Not only is it a lie but it is an attempt at fraud since you are raising money on the basis of a lie. I hereby accuse Brian McDonnell of US Oil & Gas (USOP) of being a liar and a fraud.  He should go to prison. And if it does not resign first thing on Monday its advisers Alexander David Securities is a willing party to that fraud. It should quit at once. Brian can sue me for libel if he wishes but this is a slam dunk. The little crook is exposed.

On 23rd May 2014 in an RNS little Brian stated:

US Oil & Gas – The Kilkenny Ramp, the jokes just keep on coming

If you have a spare one hour and 49 minutes and want to listen to a comedian spouting total bullshit we are here to help with the assistance of wee Brian “It’s The Way I tell ‘em” McDonnell the man in charge of the POS joke GXG listed company US Oil & Gas (USOP). Before you listen remember:

US Oil & Gas and Brian are proven serial liars – see HERE

US Oil & Gas was kicked off ISDX for regulatory failures (a heroic achievement) – see HERE

Brian wants no independent boardroom scrutiny as I revealed earlier today HERE

US Oil & Gas was floated by serial promoter of utter shite Liam McGrattan – see HERE

US Oil & Gas is a worthless piece of shite traded on a joke market and fair terminal value ( and it will be terminal) is 0p – see HERE

US Oil & Gas – why won’t wee Brian McDonnell accept some boardroom scrutiny?

The long running farce that is GXG listed US Oil & Gas (USOP) is a gift that keeps on giving and at the centre of it all is the greatest Irish comic genius since Dave Allen, CEO wee Brian McDonnell. “It’s the way I tell ‘em.” No that was Frank Carson but wee Brian might use that line too.

The latest intrigue is that a group of shareholders submitted a resolution (which I have seen) to appoint a new non exec to the board. I shall not name the man nominated since I would regard joining USOP’s board, in CV terms, right up there with admitting that you were the President of the Jimmy Saville fan club. I shall spare the blushes of this brave soul seemingly prepared to commit career hari kiri.

US Oil & Gas – The Joke Continues

At No-one is watching O’Clock (5 PM on the Friday before a Bank Holiday weekend) GXG listed US Oil & Gas (USOP) served up its interims and an operational update. Once again CEO little Brian McDonnell shows that he is a true comic genius. I take my hat off to Brian, he never fails to have me in stiches.

Let’s start with the numbers. Admin costs have been scaled back and wee Brian boasts at the top about how the cash position at March 31 was $925,244 (excluding a VAT rebate due of $29,490). You rather guess that the wee man hopes that no-one checked out the balance sheet. As that shows trade and other payables of $314,878.  Even in USOP la la land you have to pay the bills at some stage – free cash was in fact just over $600,000.

Brian says:

The Company has adequate finance to fund current operations (see below). Further funds will be required for drilling and development of the Hot Creek Valley field.

In other words the company cannot afford to drill a well.

US Oil & Gas Announcement - Sheer Comedy

When US Oil & Gas (USOP) goes tits up, its CEO Brian McDonnell should become a comedian. He really is very good. As our fellow Irishman Frank Carson used to say “It’s the way I tell ‘em.” The latest press release dated 23rd May has had me in stitches for days. It is comic genius. Oddly out there in la la USOPian land some folks seem to believe it. That is less funny.

Before we come to the “Competent Persons Report” I remind you that regulators at PLUS slammed young Brian for making statements he could not back up. Young Brian told the State of Nevada that his Ebiana #1 well was flowing at 60 bopd. But when the pen-pushers turned up on site and found sod all oil he admitted that was just an estimate and that the dog had eaten his calculations on which that estimate was made.

But Brian has persisted and now trumpets a Competent Persons Report by Forest Garb & Associates (the folks who said that Brian’s Hot Creek asset contained 189 million barrels of oil before any well was drilled). Having now drilled one well and found no commercial quantities of oil, Forrest Gump now reckons that

Friday Caption Contest (on a Sunday) - Greedy & Stupid Teachers Edition

So much news to choose from but what to pick. Naturally if this was Fleet Street I would focus on the two events of the week of global importance: Denmark winning Eurovision and Bonnie Tyler bombing or the retirement of Mr David Beckham, national icon and member of the alternative Royal Family - the posh one.
However I go with news that the Teachers Union has passed a motion of no confidence in Michael Gove. Teacher's salaries have skyrocketed in the past decade ( heck the State does own a money tree after all). Grade inflation masks the fact that School Leavers today have RRR skills that are not a patch on those of 20, let alone 50 years ago. This is a wholesale reward for failure.

Mr Gove wants to make changes. The Teachers want no changes and are also planning strikes over pay. They are greedy and immoral bastards. As such I am rather warming to Mr Gove. And so while all must have prizes in today's schools I will merely award five nominal A*s for the best entry to the caption below

For what it is worth my entry is:

US Oil & Gas - Award Winning Bullshit

The good news for US Oil & gas is that it still has cash. The bad news is that it is going to spunk it away on another exploration well in Hot Creek Nevada. The non-news is that CEO Brian McDonnell is still spouting complete horse shit in an investor Q&A published today.

There are numerous Q’s asked (although naturally young Brian has not chosen to answer some Qs) and I am sure that some of the answers stand up. But a few are utter horrors and I flag them up now.

MY COMMENTS ARE IN CAPITAL LETTERS. For those folks who cannot yet do joined up writing ( i.e. Your average USOP investor) that should allow them to look at words in a familiar way.

Brian sets out the Q&As into categories regarding “Technical”, “Trust”, “Competence”, “Communications” and “The next stage”. 

You might rephrase that as “Bullshit, Lack of Trust, Incompetence, Mis-Communications  and How the Remaining cash will be pissed away.”


Well off we go….

US Oil & Gas: Lie after lie after lie exposed – target price 0p

I am grateful to a fellow on Twitter for flagging up yet another horrific lie from US Oil & Gas, this time from April 19th 2012. When a company issues a press release which contains just a 100% slam dunk utterly verifiable lie you do have to ask if anything it says is true. Given the weight of evidence about other porkies in the case of USOP my inclination is just to disbelieve everything it says. 

Brian McDonnell: “ 2 + 2 is 4”


Me: I know the dog ate your calculations but is that estimated or actual? Sorry I don’t believe you.



And so what is the latest whopper.

Exclusive: US Oil & Gas – The FSA Insider Dealing Enquiry Secret Document Revealed

Another day and more documents emerge. Among the absolute classics is an email from Brian McDonnel (the hapless CEO) to a shareholder demanding that the shareholder cease ringing contractors and officials in Nevada to discover things about life in Hot Creek. Brian says that it is illegal for shareholders to do such due diligence. What piffle.

Brian reckons that shareholders who do due diligence get an unfair advantage and that this may be a breach of securities laws. Oh please. Doing due diligence might have helped a lot of shareholders to establish far earlier what a POS US Oil & Gas was and is and have saved them a lot of cash. Anyone who cites bogus laws to deter shareholders from asking questions is, to say the least, odd.

We established yesterday why PLUS booted US Oil & Gas off its own joke market but disgracefully failed to share these facts with investors who then went on to get mugged by US Oil & Gas on GXG.

You can read that here:

But what about the FSA?

Exclusive: Why US Oil & Gas was booted off Plus - I publish secret documents

I have today been passed secret documents sent by both the FSA and regulators at Plus Markets to advisors to disgraced scandal ridden US Oil & Gas.  These documents make it clear that almost two years ago the authorities knew what was going on here but investors were not adequately protected.

The letter from Plus was send to US Oil & gas’s solicitors in Dublin and shows that even after a preliminary investigation it was felt that CEO Brian McDonnell was making statements and giving presentations without any wider board sanction which included statements that were simply not verifiable. In light of what we now know the reality is that they could not have been verified.

When US Oil & Gas was booted off Plus these issues should have been brought into the public domain by PLUS and by the FSA which (it is clear from the document I have seen) had also investigated this POS company. But
