VINDICATION! GOTCHA! Dispensa auditor quits, VSA Capital quits, company to delist, FCA humiliated again

Natch, Dispensa (DISP) being bent shysters did not mention that Andrew Monk’s VSA Capital (VSA), where I am an unwitting shareholder, had quit but its name was NOT on today’s release and the word on the street is that VSA quit on Friday. I have reached out to the most famous son of Oriel College Oxford but he has declined to confirm. But following my shocking exposes last week HERE and, especially HERE where Carrado Coen became involved, Monkey just had no choice but well done to him anyway for biting the bullet. Gotcha!

Verditek: Gotcha! Lying scumbags enabled by Richard “Gollum” Gill and the inaction of the Oxymorons

Oh dear, Oh dear as the shamed tipster “old Mother” Mike Walters used to say when one of his shite share tips went horribly wrong. Oh wait: Verditek (VDTK) was one of his shite share tips! Its shares were 20p at peak Walters enthusiasm. They are now 0.11p after an admission today that it is giving up the solar panels business and becoming a cash shell, albeit with almost no cash. The big red flag here which Walters overlooked was that Verditek repeatedly lied about contracts won to get placings away only to ‘fess up afterwards that the contracts, even those described as take or pay, had not happened. So, serial lying and thus fraud…always a bit of a red flag.

GOTCHA: Belluscura has to revise TMT offer again

As flagged up HERE yesterday, the maths just did not stack up. And thus for the second time Adam Reynolds chaired Belluscura (BELL) has had to revise its all-share offer for cash shell TMT Acquisitions (TMT). First it was 15 shares for every 22, then it was 3 for 4 and today it is a straight 1 for 1. I am glad that Nigel Wray et al have done the decent thing but how do the maths now stack up? And actually is it still a good deal?

GOTCHA: Versarien: How is that turnaround plan going? Bailout placing at just 0.08p! Hope the morons lubed up!

Versarien (VRS) should be demanding a refund from the expensive turnaround specialists” brought in last March: since then the shares have collapsed from 2.5p to just 0.09p as today, as almost exactly predicted in bearcast yesterday, call me mystic fecking Meg, a placing has been announced at just 0.08p. and if you think this is bad, wait for the next placing which will not be long.

GOTCHA! Regtech Open you just could not make this up? Why has the FCA not swooped on this obvious FRAUD?

On December the lying conman Alessandro Zamboni promised that his companies would, by December 31, pay £1.4 million to Regtech Open Project (RTOP), where he is the main shareholder and a director, by December 31. Today, after pressure from me in recent days, including an FCA email swap yesterday, Regtech fessed that by the year end the scumbag had not paid a cent by deadline day.

GOTCHA Andrew Monk! Aquis adviser VSA forced by Aquis to restate accounts without a string of schoolboy errors

Perhaps Andrew Monk might hire someone at VSA Capital (VSA), where I am an unwitting shareholder, who understands accounts. Maybe I shall raise this matter at the next AGM?  It seems that, as I suspected, Oriel College Oxford does not teach basic accountancy.

GOTCHA! Dispensa – issues revised second interims but they remain non-compliant with IAS 34 requirements

On 1 December 2023 I wrote an article on Dispensa’s (DISP) interim accounts “EXPOSE: Dispensa Interims, a string of accounting howlers, the end game will be 0pGOTCHA The company and its shamed adviser, disgraced Andrew Monk at VSA, have had to reissue accounts. But this is not over yet…

GOTCHA No 1! Harland & Wolff 'fesses in RNS but still dissembles badly

Yesterday morning I exposed Harland & Wolff (HARL) for telling some folks but not everyone via an RNS that it was guiding down revenue forecasts for the second time this year. I flicked a note to AIM Regulation and the Oxymorons acknowledged it. And at 4 PM the company ‘fessed up. Well sort of. It dissembled.

Celadon placing and loan notes issue: Gotcha Ms Sarah McLeod

The last time I warned folks about Celadon (CEL) its PR woman Sarah McLeod called to complain bitterly that I had ruined some feminazi lunch she’d been attending with what she termed my “daily hit job.” She then demanded free access to the site not having actually read the article or having any idea what I write on a daily business. Well Ms. McLeod GOTCHA. As I correctly predicted your client has had to pass the hat around. It may not now be existing on vapours but its valuation is still tonto.

GOTCHA! Tintra 2022 Results Part 4 – is shareholders equity understated by £8,065,000. Er.....yes it is

In my first article on Tintra’s (TNT) accounts for the year ended 31 January 2023, I raised a question around why the auditor didn’t qualify its audit opinion given management disagreed with the auditor’s opinion that there was a material uncertainty over going concern. In the second article I highlighted concerns with the adequacy of the auditors work on the debt instrument. In my third note I looked at the two discontinued operations which were sold where more questions arise for the auditor. Now for the ten million dollar discrepancy.

GOTCHA: Gerry the “arse” Brandon resigned again!

I might have, now and again, referenced the tweet below from Gerry “the arse” Brandon about me. At a time, just under three years ago, when Deepverge (DVRG) and MicroSaic (MSYS) were AIM sewer high fliers, Brandon dismissed my analysis, research and lack of accounting knowledge and trolled me till I blocked the shyster who was widely celebrated on the Bulletin Boards for putting me in my place and exposing my ignorance ….34 months later….

GOTCHA! Eight Capital Partners accounts for 2021 and 2022 are now both out and are shocking - Part 1

Yesterday Eight Capital Partners (ECP), the bastard cousin of the fraud Supply@ME Capital (SYME) released both its revised 2021 accounts and its delayed 2022 accounts. I start with the revised 2021 accounts as I had previously reported Eight to the Financial Reporting Council on 18 July 2022 about those numbers. So, yes, this is yet another win and validation of my work. When Eight fessed up to the FRC ongoing investigation on 3 July it stated that revised accounts were being prepared but with no indication of the scale of the revision.

GOTCHA – Regtech Open, you couldn’t make this up but it did!

On Tuesday morning I flagged up glaring red flags in the Monday announcement from the bezzle Regtech Open (RTOP) that Alessandro Zamboni’s Avant Garde had transferred 250,000 warrants “to settle a debt”. A corrective RNS duly followed. Gotcha! But the transaction still makes no sense.

GOTCHA: Deepverge suspended pending clarification, its game over with £50m spaffed, as the curse of Brandon strikes, ouzo for the Sheriff

It is ouzo on my strawberries for breakfast at Sheriff of AIM Towers. For Gerry Brandon who broke AIM Rules in hiding a profits warning before a placing then published fraudulent interims before his next placing the imminent demise of Deepverge (DVRG) should be the end of his AIM career. He should be in jail as £50 million invested goes up in smoke.  Brandon may have “been resigned” just before Christmas but he was the architect of Deepverge’s failure.

BREAKING BOMBSHELL: GOTCHA - Avacta working on a £10 million placing at 90p – City source

Despite already having a £55 million death spiral in place, my City source tells me that Avacta is working on yet another, naturally discounted, placing. The shares falling by 3p to a new year low of 99p on Friday in decent volumes is NOT as coincidence.

GOTCHA: Applied Graphene forced to comment on ShareProphets scoop – surely the Fat Lady has a gig coming now

At 9.07 PM last night I revealed here that Applied Graphene Materials (AGM) was working on a placing, trying ( I stress trying) to raise £3 million at just 2p as against a 10p bid price. I flagged my piece up to the PR bunnies at Hudson Sandler and so ensured they all had a late night as today there is a response to comment on “an article published on the ShareProphets website on the evening of 7 November 2022 regarding a possible equity raise.” Timber!

Gotcha! Gerry Brandon “resigned” as he leaves Deepverge with immediate effect

As CEO of AIM listed Deepverge (DVRG) made two schoolboy errors: trolling me on twitter and then breaking AIM Rules by hiding a profits warning before doing a placing at 30p last June. There were other blunders and deceits too but after that crime, that fraud, of last June came to light he should have been in jail and his position was untenable.

GOTCHA: Bidstack forced to fess to damning email thanks to the Sheriff of AIM but it still dissembles

I wrote to AIM Regulation yesterday and it is clear that it has acted forcing the rogues at Bidstack (BIDS) to come clean about the “Private” bust up with Azerion email sent to some clients of Nomad Stifel yesterday, an email, that thanks to Winnileaks, I published in full within hours of it being sent. And the regulators have forced hapless Lyin’ James Draper to roll back on claims in that email.

GOTCHA! Parsley Box – delisting on the menu as the money runs out

The fight to be the worst IPO of 2021 is a bitter one but along with Made.com (MADE) which pre-published its own obituary this afternoon, Parsley Box (MEAL) has to be a contender and again I warned folks numerous times that this was a dog with fleas. Today it served up news which went down like a wet dream involving Liz Truss.

GOTCHA! Made.com …they think its all over…..200p to 1p in 16 months

Hurst has not stuck the ball in the back of the net yet but the crowd of bears are on the pitch clutching bottles of ouzo and is that a Fat Lady I see among them?  Surely this disgrace from the IPO class of 2021 is doomed after the latest news? You cannot say that I did not, on numerous occasions, warn you all

GOTCHA: Deepverge admits my placing expose true but then tells blatant porkies (again)

Oh Dear, Oh dear, what is it with Deepverge (DVRG) boss Gerry “the arse” Brandon and misleading investors? It is like Warren Beatty and his sex addiction, the arse just cannot help himself.  He has admitted that my deeply discounted placing expose of yesterday is true and the shares have again collapsed. Oh dear. Oh dear.

GOTCHA – Tortilla Mexican Grill – profits warning when’s the placing?

I warned and I warned that this Mexican style fast food rollout would go badly and today shares in Tortilla Mexican Grill (MEX) have duly puked by 30% to 101p. It was just 362 days ago that this company joined the AIM sewer at 181p having raised £5 million for the company and £12 million for founders cashing in some of their nachos. Good call.

GOTCHA! Voyager Life suspension and statement which is vaguely true but largely fantasy, and an apology to Liam Murray

After yesterday’s bombshell expose HERE shares in Voyager Life (VOY) were suspended. Unfortunately, I was the sole carer for two young children last night so there was no opportunity to tuck into a celebratory bottle of ouzo provided, very generously, by Ervil Banksta for just such an occasion.  Today there is a statement on “press speculation” and an unsuspension. As you might expect from a charlatan such as Eric Boyle of Stanford ( c)Rook infamy who chairs Voyager, the statement is not entirely true.

Made.com – Gotcha!

I explained in detail earlier this week why Made.com (MADE) is going to HAVE to do a bailout placing. Floated at 200p just over a year ago, raising £100million by issuing new shares while existing shareholders lobbed out a cheeky £90 million of stock onto gullible institutions, the company is quite simply running out of cash. Today it “responded to media speculation” and essentially ‘fessed that I was right. This will be messy.

The Sheriff of AIM gets yet another scalp – Patrick Abbott & Versarien: GOTCHA!

The demented Bulletin Board and twitter followers of Versarien (VRS) boss Neill Rickets claimed the court documents I published HERE were false. Or that I had the wrong Patrick Abbott. Or that I was just making it all up to please my masters in the global shorting conspiracy.As ever the morons were wrong. Versarien has finally bowed to our pressure and let Abbott, who was only appointed a few months ago, go as head of its US operations.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast Special - the culture of corporate lying as I say GOTCHA to Telit

Following today's bombshell there can be no doubt that Telit Communications (TCM) is toast. Companies that lie and deceive so industrially in the way I demonstrated earlier HERE will always end in tears.  In this podcast I look at the culture of corporate lying and wrongdoing and what it means for you as an investor. I look at rent boys at BP then at Quindell (QPP), Globo (GBO) and of course, in the main, at Telit

Just knackered - but the reason I could never utterly quit journalism

If you do not follow my financial writings you will not be aware of the Telit PLC scandal which I broke yesterday. This is a big high profile stockmarket listed company and what I revealed HERE was just amazing. Jaw dropping. The shares have duly crashed.

Kerboom! Gotcha! Sinophi statement up throws massive spanner in Advanced Oncotherapy works - Timber!

Advanced Oncotherapy's (AVO) much ramped JV with China based Sinophi is falling apart in the most embarrassing of ways. Advanced announced its first deal with Sinophi on March 25 2015, a statement made by Sinophi should have the FCA and AIM regulation crawling all over this one.

GOTCHA Andy Carroll: Mosman admits to misleading investors after weekend expose

That was an easy pull down of the shysters at Mosman Oil & Gas (MSMN) lead by Andy Carroll. Is it too early for a celebratory ouzo? Perhaps hapless Nomad SP Angel should send a case of ouzo to the Sheriff of AIM to thank me for doing its job for it? At the weekend I exposed how Mosman has mislead investors for more than a year HERE. This morning it fessed up:

Iofina – Oh Dear, Oh Dear, Oh Dear: TW vs. the BB Morons, TW wins, The POS warns

Yesterday I suggested that Iofina (IOF) of which I have been a long term bear was deep in the merde, running out of cash, needing a placing and set to issue a profits warning. Well I guess that is another victory for home team Winnifrith vs. the Bulletin Board Morons as the company has not wasted time with its first warning. Gotcha!

The statement today says that following the construction of the sixth iodine plant Iofina is going for a bit of a changeroonie of plans. The statement crafted by its dickhead of a PR man fesses up:

Piss off Argentina and your tax dodging pals at the Guardian

The Argentine economy is going down the toilet. Inflation is 25%, growth is slowing fast and workers are protesting on the streets. In large part this is down to the misguided policies of the Botox-loving President Fernandez. In order to deflect attention from her own incompetence the silly cow is once again stoking up a row over the ownership of the Falkland Islands where a plebiscite this year will show that 99% of the sheep shaggers wish to stay British.

Her latest ruse is to waste Argie Government cash by taking out an advert in a British paper which makes huge operating losses from spouting piffle for its dwindling readership of ageing deluded lefties and whose (profitable) parent company is one of the smartest tax dodgers going. I refer, of course, to the Guardian. Both Argentina and the Guardian can piss right off.

Britons settled in the Falklands when they were deserted since the European political elite who rule the artificially created country that is Argentina were, at that time, too busy exterminating native Indians
