Oh dear, Oh dear as disgraced share tipster Mike Walters used to say as yet another of his disastrous share tips went horribly Pete Tong. At Deepverge (DVRG) things go from bad to worse. You almost could not make this up: The company says that “Unfortunately”…
The wind-down of the POS that is Deepverge (DVRG) continues with its 1 remaining employee clearly working hard. Today we discover that Glanaco, bought for £1.1 million in March 2022 under the stewardship of disgraced Gerry Brandon, has been sold back to its original management team for just 1 Euro. Actually, it was worse than that.
Back on July 12 Deepverge (DVRG) announced that it was making all its staff redundant and ceasing to fund its operating businesses as the cash was almost gone. The last staff left on July 31 leaving just the PLC board.
From £70 million to nothing, as Deepverge (DVRG) awaits almost certain administration investors in this company will have lost everything. But did someone make a packet? I bring you below three tweets and an article by the Sith Lord Zak Mir of Lift Global Ventures (LFT). The article ( dated 7 February 2023) talks of a “tsunami of cash” being on its way to Deepverge. Hmmm.
Deepverge (DVRG) has all the hallmarks of being a zero, a once £70 million company going bust. Its shares are suspended and mug punters have lost everything. But ...
The news gets worse and worse and the chances of shareholders every getting a cent back here must now officially be zero, I struggle to see how the directors at Deepverge (DVRG) are not trading while insolvent. Today comes news that all remaining staff at Deepverge will be fired with effect from July 31. Now work out what that means
It is ouzo on my strawberries for breakfast at Sheriff of AIM Towers. For Gerry Brandon who broke AIM Rules in hiding a profits warning before a placing then published fraudulent interims before his next placing the imminent demise of Deepverge (DVRG) should be the end of his AIM career. He should be in jail as £50 million invested goes up in smoke. Brandon may have “been resigned” just before Christmas but he was the architect of Deepverge’s failure.
Just 7 months ago Deepverge (DVRG) was celebrating the raising of £10.8 million by the esteemed firm of Turner Pope. Today there is a warning of redundancies amid an intensifying cash crisis and that the shares could be suspended in just 26 days for not getting its calendar 2022 results out on time. Oh dear, oh dear: anyone got a number for the Fat Lady?
Deepverge (DVRG) published a trading update on 17 April in which it admitted that more than half of the calendar 2022 sales boasted of in its previous update were, in fact, fiction. That might be praised as an honest ‘fess up. But following an update from Microsaic (MSYS) on 18 April, it is clear that Deepverge deceived investors. I have written to the Oxymorons.
Yesterday it became apparent that Gerry Brandon had committed fraud by reporting bogus numbers for Deepverge (DVRG) before its last bailout placing. Brandon still runs Microsaic (MSYS) and you would have thought that advisers Singers and Turner Pope would have said that he had to go. How can they act for a proven fraudster? Quelle surprise, a retainer is worth more to these scholars and gentlemen than doing the right thing. But today, comes a shocking statement from Microsaic.
Surely now there must be a full regulatory investigation into Gerry “the arse” Brandon, former boss of Deepverge (DVRG) and still the BSD at AIM sewer posterboy Microsaic (MSYS). Deepverge has admitted that the revenue guidance given on 9 January was pure fiction. The clear implication is that interim numbers were also fiction and given that Gerry raised £10 million in a placing on the back of those bogus interims surely he should be going to jail. Here is the timeline of what looks to be clear fraud and a tweet from Brandon which is a real source of pride. For me.
As CEO of AIM listed Deepverge (DVRG) made two schoolboy errors: trolling me on twitter and then breaking AIM Rules by hiding a profits warning before doing a placing at 30p last June. There were other blunders and deceits too but after that crime, that fraud, of last June came to light he should have been in jail and his position was untenable.
