Shares in sister frauds Supply@ME and Regtech both hit new all time lows: Supply still breaching FCA Rules, what is it hiding?

By Tom Winnifrith | Thursday 9 May 2024

Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from ShareProphets). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

I flagged up yesterday that the fraud Supply@ME Capital (SYME) was in breach of FCA rules in not publishing its full annual report on its website or at Companies House. I have raised this with the FCA which should be suspending the shares. As of today Supply is still in breach: what is it hiding?
