Articles by Tom Winnifrith, The Sheriff of AIM

OPTI

GOTCHA: Optibiotix was forced to restate its accounts by the FRC thanks to the Sheriff of AIM

What folks like Laura “the cover up” Zelenko and crazy Meg Short at Bloomberg will never understand is that I am one of the good guys holding Companies to account. If I hang up my boots to become a goat farmer or when the grim reaper comes to pay a call, more folks will get away with financial crime or dodgy accounting because nobody else seems to raise issues with the regulators and force corrective action. Today I have received the letter below from the Financial Reporting Council regarding Optibiotix (OPTI).

GNIP

GenIP results are terrible, cash crisis imminent and so many red flags including an AIM shamed Tory Lord - target 0p

GenIP (GNIP) listed on the AIM Casino in October 2024 at 39p thanks to a fund raise from the scumbags at Novum ( now part of AlbR).  After half calendar year results out thus morning the shares are just 2.85p. Right from the get go, myself and Liverpool’s greatest numbers man since Ken Dodd, Mr. Evil Banksta, have repeatedly warned this would be a disaster as you can see HERE. This has 0p written all over it and here’s why.

UJO

He "detests" Tom Winnifrith – what is it with David Bramhill and lawyers?

I  am told by a man who was at the EGM/AGM that Union Jack’s (UJO) lawyer at Keystone Law “detests you.” Given Keystone’s role in this sordid matter and my role in ousting and exposing David Bramhill I take that as a compliment. I do not detest the Keystone scumbag, but I despise him for what Craig Howie will be starting to discover today is just how much shareholder money Bramhill spent over the years on lawyers and others to harass, bully and menace shareholders and myself as a journalist.

APTA

Aptamer & Turner Pope: tell me this does not stink?

The big scandal at biotech dog Aptamer (APTA) is how management have been handed options giving them, potentially, 25% of the equity at just 0.1p in a structure agreed when it was doing a placing at 0.6p c/o the scholars and gentlemen at Turner Pope. I outlined why this is grotesque and smells worse that Neill Ricketts' collection of used Gloucester Rugby Club jockstraps HERE. But there is worse.

UJO

Union Jack: A Stern Letter to Craig Howie

David “trougher” Bramhill and his cronies at Union Jack Oil (UJO) may think that I am a loyal supporter of Craig Howie, the man trying to oust them. Au contraire. Of course, I want Howie to win at the AGM and EGM on Monday where I shall be in attendance to hold Bramhill to account. However

APTA

This is why AIM sucks: we are not all in it together at Aptamer

Of course certain batshit crazy reporters at news organisations that cover up their role in a criminal enterprise to harass an investigative journalist exposing fraud think that AIM’s problems are caused by … the investigative journalist. But Aptamer (APTA) has news today which screams at investors to abandon the Casino. By way of background, shares in this “ developer of next-generation synthetic Optimer binders” , whatever that means, are at 0.4p down 62.27% YTD and 99.69% over 5 years since an IPO valuing this crock at £80.7 million. So, shareholders have been raped. On the other hand…

RBD

BREAKING: Reabold writes to Union Jack shareholders as deal faces collapse: I reveal what it is hiding & a blatant lie

Shareholders in Union Jack Oil (UJO) have received begging letters from Reabold Resources (RBD) offering them a chance to chat to the clowns running Reabold and making the case for its crap all paper offer. But it is NOT telling folks the bad news. The letters are grossly misleading. In fact they contain an outright lie. Have advisors and AIM regulation really approved this deception?

There's an obvious middle ground, because for many companies on AIM it is their modus operandi.Most of the contracts/partnerships they announce amount to very little. They have some sales, but corporate overheads dwarf those sums. The gap is filled by placings, which they get away by sucking in more punters with more contracts promising jam tomorrow. Long term investors get diluted. If they wake up in time they might get out without losing it all.FOX/ECOB is just doesn't. I've been long in the past, but never again. Pure dogshit.

How many individuals would have been dragged into fraudulent bonds, whisky, diamonds, cannabis plays etc etc if real interest rates had been 6% on savings?When you are lucky to get 1%, 10% sounds like a dream at 6% most might not take the risk.If financing costs had been 6% or higher would Arry and many others got away with massive cash bonuses. Would every cost on every balance sheet be inspected.1st class travel when a company is loss making.A return of 6% from bonds feels like it could crack the market at anytime. In October? or not for years. This article makes you think. Perhaps I will sell my 10 spacex.
