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.
Earlier today I flagged the blatant insider dealing taking place ahead of the Westminster Group (WSG) placing announced yesterday. I have written to the broker to the issue SP Angel calling on it to take firm action to catch the City criminals involved. The letter follows.

Jeez. I admire the sentiment but don’t you think calling yourself The Sheriff in such a letter somewhat diminishes your credibility?
I bet the recipient is having a good laugh showing it too his mates.
A shame, as you could actually make a difference if you approached it sensibly.

Starting to wonder what the hell iv done putting my life savings into this corrupt unregulated bag of shite, was going to say casino, but no, that is far to complimentary, we all know the odds in a casino, there is never any underhand tactics there, what u see is what u get, it is fucking terrible what goes on on aim. Every share I own in aim, I swear, any profit is going in the bank. Iv had enough of being out if the loop with these fuckers. Tom calling bb members morons, you should change your line to AIM morons.

Think maybe your being a little bit of a hypocrite Tom in all honesty.
“ I am an insider on DUC and I can’t wait for the deal to be done, it will be party time “
Had you have been the one getting the heads up, what would you have done?..
More so then this, you and I both know that the FSA are the ones who are corrupt. They will one day use something along the lines of “ I am an insider on DUC and I can’t wait for the deal to be done, it will be party time “ as an example, plaster it all over the daily mail just to shut Mr Pi up, while Mr Fat cat carries on getting the heads up with a cigar hanging out his mouth laughing at all the morons, who strangely believe somethings fair just because it has the governments regulations on it.
I very much agree tho, and it is a shame that we live in a greed driven world..
It is what it is. learn from it, get pissed of with it, or just stop investing in companies you have no control over.
