Vast Resources – if only it was not for the entrée of Galician style octopus

About an hour ago London’s worst Nomad, Roland “fatty” Cornish waddled off to his favourite restaurant thinking about an entrée of Galician Style Octopus and the seven courses that were to follow. Octopus or Spotted Dick with lashings of custard, it was hard to know which he looked forward to most. As he trundled along that problem was one that he wrestled with. He did not think about his client Vast Resources (VAST). The Octopus was more important.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: gold dips, bitcoin surges, what is going on?

In today’s podcast I discuss: gold, bitcoin, Argo Blockchain (ARB) and why it is still burning cash, FCA failings, statements needed from Chill Brands (CHLL) and Supply@ME Capital (SYME) and the latest shocker from Vast Resources (VAST), Roland “fatty” Cornish and his pal the sex therapist.

Told y’all: Vast Resources, the pride of "Fatty", MINUS 99.99999% from peak, yet another share consolidation and yet another cash crisis

This is like groundhog day. The last 100 for 1 share consolidation was just 32 months ago when, laughably, dumb shareholders were told it was needed to allow dividend payments. But, no dividends and numerous placings later, Vast has again run out of cash and again its shares have slumped below the 0.1p par value. Its groundhog day!

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: The Barratt Redrow merger impresses me less than the chutzpah of Neill Ricketts

This is recorded early as I head off on a road trip supporting my daughter’s sport.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: at least BSF Enterprises is honest in its Results RNS but its shares will collapse anyway

I start with thanks for your best wishes on my date with the Shipmans, including a very foxy Asian babe junior Shipman, yesterday. Then it is onto Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI), paranoid advisors, Inspiration Healthcare (IHC), Guild ESports (GLD), BSF Enterprises (BSFA), Vast Resources (VAST) where a new GM must surely be called for another share consolidation and Supply@ME Capital (SYME)

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Diversified Energy can be a zero ( new bear dossier) & why Pete Brailey and the BBMs are being played

Then it is Peter Brailey and Serinus (SENX), Diversified Energy (DEC), Vast Resources (VAST) and NightCap (NGHT) where, in both cases, AIM Regulation must act, Argo Blockchain (ARB), still a short at 14p, and Supply&ME Capital (SYME) and doing the granular maths on when, not if it is a zero

Letter to AIM Regulation – how on earth has Vast Resources not breached AIM Rule 11 or did it simply lie?

I flagged up earlier that Vast Resources (VAST) had told a monster whopper on October 6 on the occasion of its last placing before today. There is one possible get out of jail card on the lying: that it did not lie but merely breached AIM Rule 11. I have written to the Oxymorons as either way this should be a hanging offence, with extra strength rope needed for this particular Nomad, especially after luncheon.

Vast Resources: barefaced lying sanctioned by "Fatty" as it places yet again

This was the company that said it needed to do a 100 for 1 share consolidation so that it could pay a dividend. Natch it has not paid a dividend in the 33 months since but has placed numerous times and its shares have now collapsed by 98% since the consolidation having been 99% down before it. The management of Vast Resources (VAST) are simply liars. Today the company is exposed again in the most blatant way. Why on earth the Oxymorons at AIM Regulation and hapless Nomad Roland “Fatty” Cornish do not come on this farce defies belied. Wind back to 6 October and a placing to raise £1,819,350 at 0.195p. The company stated:

Vast Resources kicks the debt can again, all it needs is for Zimbabwe to respect the rule of law and all will be well!

Here we go again. Vast Resources (VAST) a company where 99.99% of shareholder value has been destroyed was due to repay $8.4 million to two death spiral providers, Alpha & Mercuria, last May. But being a cash consumptive company with no money whatsoever that was going to be hard. If you owe the bank £1 you are in trouble. If you owe the bank $8.4 million the banks, or in this case death spiral providers, are in the merde.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: The madness of Brian Basham & its all about the placing spoof with Chill Brands leading the charge

I start with the crackpot socialism of my pal Brian Basham who wants us all to pay more taxes. Indeed he told me today that paying taxes is a privilege. Then a moan about BBC Radio 4. Then Chill Brands (CHLL), Bidstack (BIDS) and Vast Resources (VAST). Finally, it is that time of the year again, the View from Readers Windows at Christmas.

In the Minus 99.99% club Vast Resources – more outflows: how long until the next bailout which it said would not happen?

On 6 October Vast Resources (VAST) raised £1.8 million at just 0.195p and made the very bold statement that “based on current strategy and updated expectations the Company does not believe it will need to raise further equity funding for the foreseeable future.” Exactly one month later the shares have plunged to 0.145p and today comes news which makes that statement look, at best, highly questionable.

Vast Resources – Piss poor results and piss poor mine update

It is only 18 months since Vast Resources (VAST) did a 100 for 1 share consolidation telling its thick as pigshit shareholders that this was to allow it to pay dividends. Of course, there was zero chance of that it was all about being able to issue more shares at above par. Since that consolidation which took the shares from 0.1p to 10p the shares have fallen by 98.5% to just 0.155p. And prior to that consolidation the shares had already fallen by more than 99% since IPO. This is a company that funds a gravy train for managers and advisers and screws shareholders. Today there is more bad news.

If you owe the bank $1 you are in trouble, if you owe it $8.3 million its in trouble (but so are you!)

I refer, of course, to Vast Resources (VAST). It owes two death spiral providers $8. 3million and in early September managed to get the sharks to agree to defer repayment to 29th September which was Friday. When I was at Oxford I’d tell fragrant Sally from Barclays on Cornmarket Street that I was expecting a cheque from my Dad to clear the overdraft. And she believed me! Again and again and again. Those were the days. That untruth bought me another month to think of another cunning plan but why bother when the first one kept on working!

Vast Resources – the latest bad news really is a fair Cheryl Cole analogy

Vast Resources (VAST) says that it is “pleased” to announce what turns out to be bad news. I imagine that London’s worst Nomad Roland “Fatty” Cornish signed off on that particular gem well into Friday’s 15 course lunchtime feast. This is all to do with those diamonds locked up in the central bank in Zimbabwe which Vast said back in February would soon be recovered, promoting a massive share price ramp enabling some bailout placings. So, what is the news from Harare?

Vast Resources – was the Zim Diamond heist a spoof after all? GM Called for more confetti issuance

Since 6 February this year Vast Resources (VAST) shares have soared, notwithstanding one bailout placing, on claims that it would very shortly be getting its mits on 129,400 carats of rough diamonds held in “safe custody” at the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe. Even as the shares raced ahead to almost 0.7p shareholders in this company with shite assets and run by charlatans were still sitting on 99%+ losses such as been the industrial scale value destruction via share issuance and boardroom greed over the years. Today came some reality. And then like Vast’s dreams they fade and die…

Vast Resources is very rapidly approaching the trapdoor of death

BREAKING: Vast Resources bailout funding to stave off insolvency but warns will need another as MONSTER investor deception revealed AGAIN

On 24 October Vast Resources (VAST) held a GM where shareholders voted to allow it to issue more shares. But fear not, the chairman stated “ It should be stressed that there is no commitment at this time to issue the new equity share capital for which authority is sought, and it remains the policy of the Directors to minimise such issues.” That was deceptive as the company HAD to raise money this month to avoid going bust.

I promise never to mention the company again if its CEO, smug Sam Smith, donates £100,000 to rogue bloggers for Woodlarks. Of course, she won’t. So I must ask the 95% of Bearcast listeners yet to chip in: please make your donation, HERE  We are now at 20% of target – go on, make it 21% by tomorrow!

UPDATED: Vast Resources repays 1 death spiral but buries news that it is taking out another death spiral – another spoof! And then Atlas weighs in - pure comedy

Vast Resources (VAST) is blessed with having the dumbest investors going.  They fell for the last spoof RNS which, in a just world, would see the issuers banned from the markets, and bid the (worthless) shares up to 2.4p. Today there is a new monster spoof and the shares are 56% up to 1.3p offering the bears another chance for a slam dunk free short.  The company says it has refinanced its Atlas death spiral leading the “marks” to assume that there is no more death spiral overhang. But buried at the bottom of the release is ????

In today’s podcast, I discuss Elon Musk and Twitter; Vast Resources (VAST) & associated scumbags; Optibiotix (OPTI); Condor Gold (CNR) and why comrade Jim Mellon must pay up soon; and the complete and utter Irish jackanory spouted by Hydrogen Utopia (HUI) and Powerhouse Resources (PHE): those holding shares in either company are certifiable.  We are now just £68 away from £10,000 in the Rogue Bloggers for Woodlarks (plus gift aid) fundraise. On Sunday, I really will do a 20-mile training walk. If you are amongst the 96% of listeners yet to donate, please do so today, HERE.

Vast Resources, death spiral provider Atlas and Nomad Roland “Fatty Cornish” bring AIM into disrepute – letter to AIM Regulation

Today’s shocking news is not evidence of illegal behaviour, I am told by a member of the death spiral community. I am not so sure. But investors were indeed deceived by Vast Resources (VAST), Atlas and Beaumont Cornish, which signed off on the May 3 release. The incident brings “the world’s most successful growth market” into disrepute, and I have written to Marcus Stuttard, the bogus Sheriff and head of the Oxymorons at AIM Regulation, urging him to investigate possible illegality and to censure all those involved.

Vast Resources & Death Spiral provider Atlas – spoofed y’all as punters mugged for £1.5 million

Ha, gotcha. What a spoof. On May 3rd, Death Spiral provider, Atlas, and Vast Resources (VAST) made an RNS statement, announcing that Atlas would not convert any more loan notes. The stock was a ten-bagger in days, going from 0.02375p to a peak of 0.24p. Well, guess what? I do hope the morons buying were well-lubed up!

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast - for the second time in 3 months, North Wales Police call regarding my "sins"

Last time, the complainant was anonymous; this time, it was Julie Meyer. I describe my chat. Suffice to say that Ms “sex toy on expenses” Meyer will again be frustrated. I contrast these Police visits with the way they failed me when I exposed the Chill Brands (CHLL) fraud, and was then harassed and smeared – I wonder how the guilty men, notably those at Buchanan Communications, feel this afternoon. Today, I deserve a shed load of ouzo after numerous triumphs and, in turn, I look at Chill, Supply@ME Capital (SYME), Bidstack (BIDS) and Vast Resources (VAST). Actually, I am joking about the ouzo: the kids and I are off to buy a hosepipe extension, some lavender plants, and an ice cream for Joshua. That is our reward.

That is the price at which death spiral provider, Atlas, has converted loan notes onto Vast Resources (VAST) shares, the latest being $300,000 worth. The bad news? Atlas has another $5.2 million to go. Luckily, there was a spoof RNS on Monday, which must have helped with the forward selling.

Vast Resources: Atlas dumps again as cash crisis becomes critical – fat Lady now gargling for May Day performance!

In February the conversion was at 1.24p. Do you see a trend? My guess is that those shares have already been forward sold and that Atlas will now be working on dumping even more stock ahead of the next conversion. Why the panic? Two reasons:

Forgive the voice. Last week’s cold has left me sounding like I have been swallowing gravel. I start with a few words about distractions today which included ordering 72 blackthorn plants and 12 wild blackberry bushes and fetching antique Welsh furniture to go to Greece. Then I ponder whether Nigel is reinvesting his Ariana (AAU) dividends in Ariana (AAU).I explain why I am not and where I am putting the cash. Or  rather I am sitting on the fence between Optibiotix (OPTI) and Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX). The 3x company I mentioned on Saturday, is a well known one and will be exposed via a multi-part series kicking off tomorrow at 8.30 AM and it is, I am sure, a zero.  Ahead of then I discuss what makes a real bear market and how it affects rubbish stocks out of cash. Until you see  a good few RNS statements each month saying that “shares are suspended pending clarification” you are not in a bear market.  In that vein, I mention three POS companies which RIGHT NOW have no cash and are burning it: Vast Resources (VAST), Chill Brands (CHLL) and Supply@ME Capital (FRAUD) and I discuss the next steps for that trio and why the net is tightening on them.

BREAKING: Explosive Winnileaks email on Vast Resources - WH Ireland refuses to act for the firm and slates Prelea, Fatty Cornish doesn't care

In March this year WH Ireland was approached to become joint broker to Vast Resources (VAST). It conducted due diligence and that threw up so many red flags about the business but also about boss Andrew Prelea that WH Ireland said that  it could not act.  The email exchange detailing this has found its way via Winnileaks to myself and is published below. It is damning and all credit to WH Ireland for putting principle before profit. But Nomad Roland Fatty Cornish has been made aware of the same issues and appears to think that a) it is just after two so time for the third course of a six course luncheon and b) that he should just carry on taking the cash come what may.  Lunches don’t pay for themselves after all. Enablers like Fatty are why AIM is a sewer. I am aware of a number of matters which WH Ireland discovered and anyone owning shares in Vast is truly certifiable.

Why are your shares so cheap? etc etc.” Whatever, I apologise to you all for asking the odd question. Without my malign influence, Optibiotix would clearly be in the FTSE 100. I discuss this company’s prospects and also those of Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX) where I am also a loyal shareholder. I look at Trainline (TRN), Online Blockchain (OBC) and Vast Resources (VAST).

Vast Resources – The bank says Not on your Nelly! The shame of Prelea and Fatty continues…

With London’s worst Nomad, Roland “Fatty” Cornish advising it we have time and again warned you that VAST Resources (VAST) is the sort, of dog that even paid for hustlers like Zak Mir wouldn’t tip. Okay he probably would but you get the picture. Today we have a major disaster and the shares have crashed.

Vast Resources - the death spiral cheque is in the post. Honest! Fatty says it is!

Only the laziest, stupidest and most credulous of Nomads would have signed off on the death spiral funding releases issued over the past few months by, almost certainly worthless, Vast Resources (VAST). Luckily Vast employs Roland “fatty” Cornish  and so today we get another update. You may remember…

Winnileaks special: Vast Resources: Ex Director Brian Basham accuses Fatty Cornish of signing off on untrue statements

Oh dear, oh dear, London’s worst Nomad, Roland “Fatty” Cornish really does have a lot on his plate this morning. I refer not to his third portion of finest Manx Kippers dripping in butter, followed by a quartet of hot crumpets with lashings of strawberry jam. No, he is already in hot water over his advice to ADVFN (AFN) that it should break AIM Rules but now Fleet Street Legend Brian Basham has written to Fatty about another of his cash guzzling and worthless clients, Vast Resources (VAST) and, thanks to Winnileaks, I have that letter.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Merry Christmas to one & all, even Godless Darren & Charles Tatnall whose RNS today is a complete shocker

Yes Merry Christmas to you all and to your families however you celeberate it and even if you are a pagan like Darren Atwater orf a sinner like some of those I discuss today: Vast Resources (VAST) and a spoof warrant exercise, my friend Andrew Bell and Red Rock Resources (RRR) who makes himself a hostage to fortune with his careless words, Drew Nelson at IQE (IQE) with an odd management greed RNS and Charles Tatnall whose Fandango Holdings (FHP) serves up the most bonkers and misleading set of results in 2019.

If Vast Resources had a proper Nomad there would be a full steward’s into its placing disclosures

But it does not. Its Nomad is Beaumont Cornish, run by Roland “Fatty” Cornish who only acts for companies that are the dregs of the AIM Cesspit. They can say what they want in an RNS, fatty will sign off on it before waddling off for a four course breakfast, luncheon or dinner. Bad companies use Fatty as he will sign off on anything. Good companies do not want investors assuming they are dodgy so use another Nomad. And that brings us to Vast.

Tom Winnifrith's Bearcast: From Nigel Somerville's Big Sofa it is au revoir to an emigrating Darren + Woodford's secret £25m windfall

A day of travel adventures. I recount my breakdown last night, an angelic lorry driver and how I ended up on Nigel Somerville’s sofa. Meanwhile Darren Atwater is leaving the UK but not ShareProphets. Then I look at utter lunacy from a “woke” FRC and inept Business Secretary Andrea Loathsome. Then it is onto Neil’s sacking from Woodford Patient Capital Trust (WPCT), what it means for the Trust and how it will help him hide another £25 million personal windfall gain. I cover Tesla (TSLA) as the bears are squeezed by book cooking. Finally a look at the murky death spiral announced by Vast Resources (VAST).

Tom Winnifrith Bonus Bearcast: A monkey lies down with 2 dogs and emerges covered in fleas, Vast is 'avin' a giraffe as is the FCA while St James's screws its clients

I bring you a bonus bearcast, covering the FCA taking the piss (hat tip, in-house Euro loon J Price), Andrew Monk’s VSA lying down with the lowest scumbags of the low, why I don’t believe a word AIM dog Vast Resources (VAST) says and why St James’s Place (STJ) shares are uninvestable at two levels. VSA’s invitation of shame is below.

Vast Resources - The Interest Free loan which will actually cost a minimum of 27.5%

Shitty little AIM Companies such as Vast Resources (VAST) would be better off borrowing on the company credit card than dealing with loan sharks such as Bracknor and Northland Capital. To add insult to injury Vast describes as $2 million loan today as interest free. Bollocks. It is even more expensive as the infamous loan from fragrant Katrina Clayton the wife of the FD at FRAUD African Potash (AFPO).
