I am rather taken with the new cleaning lady the Mrs has hired. She scrubs up well, works hard and her views on a range of issues including masks, vaccines, inflation and the role of the state are thoroughly admirable. And hearing myself and Lucian discuss how mining companies claim to be ESG friendly by hiring loads of lesbians, she thought that a good joke and remarked that my work seemed interesting.

And it goes on and on. As Boatman points out, if you believe in electronic tulips there are many ways to play bitcoin without buying into Argo's forest of red flags. Anyone owning these shares is mad. The dossier is below.

Argo Blockchain (ARB) today ‘fessed that it had briefed someone who appears to be an unemployed fund manager, Anthony Coyle, with price sensitive information some of which he misunderstood and then tweeted it all out.  Argo has this morning addressed some of the errors on the, since deleted, tweets but not some that are accurate and even more damning.  What on earth is a supposedly grown up company playing at?  And now, we can reveal exclusively, that bear raider Boatman Capital has piled in.
