BREAKING: Dispensa – repeated failures to impair Goodwill, a £20m deceit!

Yesterday I made an error with regard to the goodwill at Dispensa (DISP), the crock formerly known as Zamaz. The other accounting howlers and deceits I Identified stand. I have now looked into the goodwill in far more detail. And what emerges is a scandal of at least £20 million which I will be urging my pals at the FRC to look into at once.

Vindicated again: Ben’s Creek ‘fesses to cash crisis and CEO Adam Wilson is being resigned

On Michael Walters day it would be rude not to start a tale of another disaster of the sort in which he specialized in any other way than by saying “Oh dear, Oh dear.” As I have warned for a while, most recently HERE, trading at Ben’s Creek (BEN) is dire and the company faces a cash crisis. And so today we have a ‘fess up RNS and, as a bonus, CEO and founder Adam Wilson will “be resigned” as soon as someone can be found to commit CV hara kiri and take over. More ouzo for the sheriff!

VSA Capital caves to Silverwood, told y’all

As a loyal, if wholly unwitting, shareholder in Aquis listed VSA Capital (VSA) perhaps I should not crow to much about the news that humble pie is on the menu today at Oriel College Oxford. That Andrew Monk and his team have climbed down in this legal tussle which will see another material writedown in the balance sheet is embarrassing but it is also sensible and for that I offer praise where it is due. Well done Monkey! Let me explain.

BREAKING: Tintra faces up winding up order, what is JP Jenkins playing at?

I have warned JP Jenkins a number of times about Tintra (TNT), formerly the AIM Company of the year 2022. But despite shocking exposes like this one yesterday, JPJ seems happy to allow shares to be traded on its platform. Well maybe the winding up order might just change that? I kid you not.

So farewell then MichaelWalters.com

A kind reader points out that disgraced share tipster Old Mother Walters, Mike to his good pal jailbird Asil Nadir, has shut down his share tipping website.

BOOM! GOTCHA! Dispensa, as shares collapse: more exposes of accounting high jinks, when will the rats start to jump, 3 questions for the FRC to ponder!

My shocking expose of Dispensa (DISP), the crock formerly known as Zamaz, where I’ve been a perma bear since its September 2 2022 IPO at 11p seems to have somebody panicking. The shares have today crashed by 42% to just 0.95p. Which will be the next rat to jump as there is far worse to come. I shall kick off with a couple of questions for those such as PR goons Walbrook and VSA Capital, where I am unwitting shareholder, to consider as they ponder how much more reputational damage they can tolerate.
