Yesterday, both Nigel and myself covered the shocking Asimilar/Dev Clever/Mark Horrocks scandal. It is clear to me that in light of what we discovered on September 1, that on May 13 this year Dev Clever (DEV) issued a statement that was grotesquely misleading and, as such, constitutes clear market abuse. I have thus asked the FCA to launch a formal investigation into what is a scandal.

This is so rotten and corrupt at every level that the FCA should be crawling all over sub Standard listed Dev Clever (DEV) and Mark Horrocks driven sub standard listed Asimilar (ASLR). It seems that FCA staff are too busy shitting under their desks to do anything about it.

On 12 April Dev Clever (DEV) a company already drowning in red flags exposed on this website announced the £54.75 million all share purchase of VLPL in India and we were told that “This acquisition of VLPL will be subject to the publication of an FCA approved prospectus by no later than 30 September 2021. An additional 30 million ordinary shares will be granted to VLPL CEO, Ankur Aggarwal, as an earnout consideration subject to achieving key milestones.” Wind forward to 30 September and …

As Dev Clever (DEV) is not on AIM but on the Official List it is the FCA that bears sole responsibility for regulating its activities and which should now be investigating whether the company has committed blatant securities fraud. I have written to the chocolate teapots explaining why an urgent investigation is needed into the company and its directors.

Shares in Dev Clever (DEV) remain suspended as, after 11 months, the FCA is still refusing to sign off on a RTO prospectus. But that is the least of Dev’s worries, it must surely be bankrupt by now, how about its advisers, those fine fellows at Novum, cobble together an October 31 year end trading statement. Here is the maths:

On 16 December after almost a year of suspension on the (sub) Standard List, Dev Clever (DEV) announced that it was to delist, lying to investors by saying that it could not raise cash on that market. Of course it had been offered cash by Riverfort so that was a demonstrable lie from a company whose serial lies this website had exposed so often. It now gets even murkier.Published 1859 days ago
In a just world Dev Clever (DEV) boss Chris Jeffries would be in jail for selling shares while sitting on undisclosed adverse financial news. But while he still enjoys his liiberty he has announced the purchase of a crap company from some tax dodgers. Will he inform HMRC of the deal so ensuring the matter is dealt with? he is clearly an honourable man....

There were some share promoters who pushed Dev Clever (DEV), which IPO'd at 1p, as being worth 50p per share and indeed the shares reached the 40s and were suspended at just over 30p making this a £250 million disaster waiting to happen. I pointed out that it was run from a lock up in Stafford, that it was a cash guzzling POS, the stinky share sales by the CEO ahead of a lack of profits warnings, spoof investments at a premium to the share price made by companies with no cash. My list of exposes was a long one as you can see HERE. This was always going to be a disaster but natch, mug punters knew otherwise.Published 1025 days ago
The company headquartered on a grim Staffordshire estate, which claims to be a global player, is in all sorts of trouble. Its shares remain suspended, as the FCA refuses to sign off on the prospectus for a deal announced on 12 April 2021. Meanwhile, where are the (undoubtedly piss poor) numbers for the year to October 31 2021? To them, first.

It looks like its turkey twizzlers only for the morons owning this stock on this Christmas Eve. As I have noted many times, Dev Clever (DEV) has been monstrously overvalued on fundamentals, promoted by ramping and worse. At 30p the company is valued at £180 million which for a loss-making entity, run from a lock up on an industrial estate and with half year sales of just £2.4 million is bonkers. But at least you could trade out of you wanted. You can’t now. The company says that it has asked the FCA for the suspension of trading in its shares. Just like you used to ask the headmaster to beat you for sinning at school. Whatever…

Yesterday we looked at the lock-up HQ of £221 million capitalised drowning in red flags Dev Clever (DEV). Today let’s look at its sole UK operating subsidiary. Curiouser and curiouser. This is a massive red flag.

I contacted the FCA last week about what appears to be blatant market abuse, or possibly even securities fraud, at Dev Clever (DEV) and to its credit it has sent back a non standard reply indicating that it is taking the matter very seriously. As a reminder, Dev did a placing on December 20 2019 and its CEO sold £500,000 shares a month later only to admit in February that sales for the six months to 31 October 2019 were way below forecast. How can a software firm have not had any inkling of that before the placing and CEO share dump. It defies belief. The FCA writes:

Last week, when we learned the final outcome of the previous ramp of Asimilar (ASLR), I noted the collapse of its share price and that it is what happens when you invest in a ramp. Well blow me down, this morning we are off again with an announcement of an acquisition of Intrinsic Capital (Jersey) Limited from Mr Mark Horrocks…

Give or take a few mistakes, this is the 70,000th article on ShareProphets. Where else do you get as much information and drama for only £6.99 per month? Anyway, the most read non-Quiz, non-Tom article last week is by Nigel Somerville, The View From The Montana Log-Cabin As Gold Tests $1900, at No 4 or No 12 including Bearcasts.

One hopes that the FCA is actively investigating the clear market abuse engaged in by Dev Clever (DEV) with its May 13 subscription announcement. If you wanted any more evidence that this grotesquely overvalued company was slippier than the slippiest of eels, it was provided today with a trading statement which is nothing of the sort.

Yesterday I discussed the related party nest of snakes financing deals done by Dev Clever (DEV) and its bonkers valuation HERE. Today, in response, a trading statement but it is all smoke and mirrors and there are gaping omissions. It is a shocker.

Sales are vanity, profit is a matter of opinion and cash is reality. That is a message that Dev Clever (DEV) seems to ignore as it served up a trading statement to accompany news that the FCA was dragging its heels on approving a prospectus as noted HERE. But what of the trading statement? Natch Dev jerks off about its sales in the year to November 30.

Dev Clever (DEV) joined the Standard List at 1p on January 21 2019. Boy: it has been a rollercoaster year of pumping and dumping.

I have covered in some depth the numerous smoke and mirrors deals at Asimilar (ASLR) and it is an accident waiting to happen as its results today demonstrate very clearly. The company boasts net assets at the September 30th year end of £41.74 million. At 27.5p the market cap is £33.5 million. Put simply the market does not believe the net asset number. It could easily halve or, far, worse.

As a long-term bear, yesterday’s interims only confirmed my belief that Asimilar (ASLR) will collapse. Emailed questions go unanswered, so perhaps readers can assist.
