Two MORE Questions David Lenigas needs to answer

After last night’s documentary on the BBC David Lenigas responded by sending me emails at 3.43 AM and 3.47 AM and by tweeting personal abuse. He did not answer questions about how he & Steve Sanderson ramped shares in UK Oil & Gas (UKOG) with unjustifiable claims about Horse Hill.  Big Dave you want war? Ok tell me about Mick Shemasian.

  1. MrContrarian

    Glad to see you are no longer friend to a man who practises so much of what you condemn. It was a peculiar sight.

  2. Tom, is this your long lost twin (eeks, there’s two you ?)….. from the above named website :

    http://neer-do-well-hall-of-infamey.blogspot.co.uk/2014/06/mick-many-names-shemesian-invades.html

    Damian Antony Conboy …… …… dead ringer for Tom W.

  3. http://tinyurl.com/oh89zaj

    TW, Do you have a younger brother con-artist? It would explain a lot lol.


  4. DUCK AND DIVE

    Is this story via Ben? I put him onto a possible AgriAg fraud weeks ago and I’ve been muttering about it in your Comments for a while now. After raising doubts about the credentials of Mr Robillard, I wanted to know why it was impossible to find his alleged company, AfriAg SA – aka Afriag (Pty) Ltd. It doesn’t have any identity at all – apart from the ramping of its alleged contracts in Lenigas RNS’s. Note that the phantom business is allegedly chaired by Lenigas and 40% owned by Afriag Plc but it is allegedly managed and run by the alleged 60% owner, Robillard.

  5. The mole on the left hand side of the chin is too much of a coincidence.

    Someone’s using your photo, Tom.

  6. Blimey Tom …………….. you have a dopple ganger called Damian Conboy who apparently now lives in London . Surely that is you in the photo ? they must have got the wrong photo . Anyway he was linked to the Welsh gold mine debarcle I believe . It seems Delboy Lemongas has some interesting and dangerous aquaintances from way back . Looks increasingly like AFRIAG is a fantasy “tucking” business . Well spotted Duck me ole Fruit Bat ( err , well duck actually , but we will ignore that ) credit where credit is due . It was Duck was sussed it Gov …………. give em a nod .Duck Super Detective …………… drumroll ………… trumpets ………… applause . Your the man , Duck !


  7. DUCK AND DIVE

    Yeah. What WR said.

  8. Damian Conboy …………….. banned from the Australian Stock Exchange for , erm, not doing his job right and conning people . They do say that you grow up to be like your name , but that is just unbelievable ………. you truly could not make that up . By all accounts Tom should have turned out to be a horse making frivilous whinnying noises , so the thesis breaks down a bit there . However Turney is quite close to flip flop in meaning when you think about it and Chris Oil certainly is a slippery oily customer . Not sure about Gary Newman but I am reliably informed he does the hovering and irons his own shirts occasionally . As for the Frenchman Lad You Gooey ………. well I rest my case my lord !


  9. drunken sailor

    Lonrho, now there is a blast from the past. Having trashed the share price Big Dave repriced options for himself and the rest of the board so they were below the share price at the time, exercised them and sold them within days.

  10. We have been following Mick “Many Names” Shemesian for many years. NOTHING good can possibly come from that man.

    Could this be the source of it?

    The truth about stoxxman who owns : http://neer-do-well-hall-of-infamey.blogspot.co.uk

    Daryl MacAskill’s prior legal battles

    The lawsuit against Stockhouse is not the first that Mr. MacAskill has fought on his own, without the benefit of a lawyer. In 2009, he launched a lawsuit against Hudson’s Bay Company, claiming that he was tortured by store security. He complained that while he was at the company’s store in Brentwood Town Centre on Dec. 10, 2008, a security guard detained him and refused to allow him to go to the bathroom, which he urgently needed to do. Rather than suffer the humiliation of urinating himself, he chose to knock himself out by banging his head on the wall, the suit stated. His next memory was waking up in a puddle of urine (which he claims was not his own, but that of some other person security had detained). He was then escorted from the store by an RCMP officer. He was not charged. He later agreed to drop the suit on undisclosed terms.

    Mr. MacAskill launched another self-filed suit in August, 2007, against a former employer, Kor Alta Construction Ltd. of Alberta. He claimed that the company constructively dismissed him from his job as a supervisor at a job site on Boundary Road in Vancouver after he complained about a lack of a plan to deal with asbestos at the site. Kor-Alta, in response to the suit, denied any wrongdoing and said Mr. MacAskill had worked at the company for only a short period of time. A judge later dismissed the case, finding that it was an abuse of the process of the court.

    Earlier court records show that Mr. MacAskill landed in criminal trouble in 1995, when a judge convicted him on 10 counts of tax fraud over GST refunds he had collected for a number of companies. He was sentenced to six months in jail and ordered to pay a $13,500 fine.

    Stockhouse no longer trades, the company having gone private in 2010. It was last owned by Invictus Financial Inc., which was downgraded to the NEX on Dec.
