Verditek breaks AIM Rules yet again but will the bogus Sheriff of AIM, Marcus Stuttard, EVER sanction a company run by a Tory Toff?
If a company is sitting on price sensitive information as an AIM listed Company then the rules of the sewer regulated by Mr Marcus Stuttard and the Oxymorons at AIM Regulation, notably rules 10 & 11, dictate that, the company must disclose it at once via RNS. But when your company is chaired by a Tory Toff like Lord David Willetts I guess that rules just do not apply. Rules are for little people.- By Tom Winnifrith, the Sheriff of AIM |

Kanabo pumped in the Mail in the Proactive Column - surely this is just dishonest "journalism"
Once a week the investment hookers at Proactive pen a small cap column for the Mail on Sunday. This week’s effort is flagged up below. Nowhere on the column is there any disclaimer to admit that Proactive is paid by companies to publish research. So, readers of the tabloid will assume that this is just good honest impartial journalism. Of course it is anything but. Take this week’s effort below…- By Tom Winnifrith |
