We know from an Inspirit Energy Holdings (INSP) announcement on 17 May 2016 that Octagonal (OCT) remains a major shareholder in Inspirit and that John Gunn is a director of both Inspirit and also Octagonal. This really is a cosy old relationship between the two AIM POS companies.

Having featured in the ‘New Year bury bad news stakes’ and with questions having been raised about CFO Nilesh Jagatia, I note shares in Inspirit Energy (INSP) remain in the doldrums following half-year results announced on 31st March. I also note the announcement was made at 9.49am. An attempt to miss the usual 7am RNS scrutiny?...

Look at the daily chart below. Tell me there was no insider dealing or market abuse going on here. It is that of Inspirit Energy (INSP). And then at 2.10 PM we finally had two announcements.

The smallest company by market capitalisation on AIM at the end of February 2025 was Inspirit (INSP) capitalised at a mere £0.2 million.Published 26 June 2016, 05:27
Well, well – another twist in the formerly AIM-listed Teathers (TEA) saga has emerged, as a wander through Companies House filings reveals that a certain Mr Jason Drummond quit as a director on 23 June 2016 (last Thursday), ahead of the forthcoming sack-the-board EGM on Tuesday. The question, of course, is why?

This gets worse and worse for Chris Rynning, the former boss of ShareProphets AIM-China Filthy Forty play Origo Partners (OPP). Having discussed how a billion Kroner disappeared to tax-havens under this self-styled China expert, today E24 looks at the company credit card. If you thought Nilesh Jagatia of Teathers (TEA), Insprit (INSP) and Octagonal (OCT) was, ahem, generous (to himself), this appears to take the biscuit.

Earlier today I flagged up that John Gunn run POS enterprise Octagonal (OCT) had, in April, promised results in June but had not only not published its numbers (never a good sign) but had also parted company with its auditor last month but not told anyone about it. In direct response to MY ARTICLE HERE, Octagonal fished its corpulent and useless Nomad Roland "Fatty" Cornish out of his four course luncheon to issue a statement. It is another comedy classic from Fatty. Boy he does know how to tell em.

The first non-Tom article is #1, The explicit signs that a stockmarket crash is on its way... soon, by David Scott. This bodes well - the snakes and frigana may actually be drawing Tom's attention away from the market and back to his sabbatical.TW note you missed out this article which was actually the most read, modesty prevents me from saying who penned it. More Labour vote rigging!

AIM-listed serial dog Inspirit Energy (INSP) released its interims yesterday at 2.33pm and it is same old, same old: the bills keep on coming in but where's the progress on its boiler? And when will the cash run out? – and why was its broker - a subsidiary of housemate Octagonal plc - holding such a proportion of its cash?...

Yesterday I exclusively revealed HERE that Teathers Financial (TEA) had told rebel shareholders that if they did not withdraw an EGM request to sack the board, a mystery £1 million investor would walk. Teathers boss Oliver Fattal gave the rebs until 3 PM to pull the request. They declined. Today Teathers has changed its tune. That on its own tells you the board are worse than poltroons and should be fired. I now publish Olly's email.

AIM-listed POS Inspirit Energy (INSP) has updated the market on its waste heat recovery system, telling of great things from trials in Poland and plenty of jam tomorrow. It reads so beautifully: shareholders must be thrilled at being updated. So what’s the catch?

AIM-listed waste of space Inspirit Energy Holdings (INSP) announced the issue of two billion bits of confetti this morning – to raise just £200,000. This, of course, will only keep the lights on for a short period – and then there will be more confetti. The discount was a whopping 33%: for such a small issue, that shows what a POS the market thinks Inspirit is.Published 12 June 2015, 05:10
Shares in “AIM traded investing company focused on opportunities within the financial services' sector”, Octagonal plc (OCT) currently trade more than 40% higher today, at 0.26p, on the back of an announcement that “it has entered into conditional agreements to acquire the issued share capital of Global Investment Strategy UK Ltd that it does not currently own”. So, what’s the excitement about? …

For a small company, Octagonal (OCT) seems to get through more auditors at a rapid pace with no less than 3 different firms of auditors for the listed entity in the last five years and two changes of auditors for each of the principal subsidiaries.

I start by talking you through yesterday's Odd One Out contest explaining the schoolboy error made by Nigel Somerville and others. I look at the Autolus news in relation to Woodford Patient Capital Trust (WPCT) where as a loyal shareholder I shall be attending the May 15 AGM in Oxford with a few questions for Neil "nomates" Woodford. I flag up a shocking little episode at Clear Leisure (CLP) which should make you worry about Octagonal (OCT) and Inspirit (INSP) given that their FD is disgraced Niliesh Jagatia then discuss Management Resource Solutions (MRS) and finally, in detail, Toople (TOOP). Tomorrow I really will read out a Woodlarks heros roll call. Please join that list ahead of then HERE

At 8 AM on Christmas Eve, shares in Octagonal (OCT) were suspended on the AIM Casino. At 1.04 PM, with the market closed and everybody switching off their screens, came the bombshell. Assisted by the FCA, the SEC has charged Octagonal’s main subsidiary, Global Investment Strategy UK Ltd. (GIS), for clearing and settling billions of dollars of U.S. securities transactions without registering as a broker-dealer in violation of the federal securities laws. The SEC also charged John William Gunn, its founder and principal, with aiding and abetting those violations. Kerboom. You cannot say that I have not warned you for years that Gunn – who also runs uber dog Inspirit (INSP) – was a prize rotter.

Following on from Tom’s explosive piece over the weekend referencing this letter relating to the Mediacorp / Purple Lounge debacle and the dodgy characters involved, I couldn’t help but pick up on the Boxhill Technologies (BOX) connection as I continue to be amazed that Lord Razzall hangs out with some of these characters.
