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).

Optibiotix Interims – get your cheque book ready Adam

Any loss making company reporting interims which gives the period end cash number but not also an up to date cash number hoists an enormous red flag and that brings us to Optibiotix (OPTI) which, ceteris paribus, will be running on vapours by early 2027. Half calendar year numbers are out today.

Optibiotix: Letter to the Financial Reporting Council

I got a generic email this morning from Optibiotix (OPTI) begging me to gp to the Sweetbiotix tasting and rampfest in London later thus month. It must be desperate. My guess is that, unless the venue is switched to an old fashioned telephone box, the event will not exactly be packed out.  These days most folks holdings are worth less than a Standard Class return to London so why bother to hear Lyin’ Steve O’Hara promise more jam tomorrow on a product where he  promised an imminent commercial launch almost a decade ago?  Meanwhile I have written to my good pals at the Financial Reporting Council about the litany of schoolboy errors in the 2025 accounts which emerged last week.

BREAKING EXPOSE: Optibiotix serves up wholesale accounting errors in regard to half a million quid of CEO pay

I have flagged up accounting errors at Optibiotix (OPTI) before and it has quietly made changes without acknowledging its historic blunders or thanking me. But the 2025 accounts out last week, the first produced by new FD David Blain, contain industrial scale errors which I shall be referring for the Financial Reporting Council. This is embarrassingly amateurish.

Optibiotix – Evil Says……

One of the great sayings of the great bear himself, Evil Knievil, was that an insignificant director share purchase is not a buy signal to the market, but a sell signal. And that brings me to the FD of AIM-listed Optibiotix (OPTI) which seems to me to be heading for a train crash as I disagree with independent auditor Gerald Edelman LLP over its passing of Optibiotix as a going concern.

OPTI

Optibiotix: Tell me lies tell me sweetbiotix lies

I hope Fleetwood Mac fans get the title. In a posting on the Optibiotix (OPTI)  website last week, Police Time Wastin’ Steve O’Hara made claims about his cash runway which he cannot stand up and which the Oxymorons at AIM Regulation, at my behest, is now looking into. But he also made claims about Sweetbiotix. Police Time Wastin’ Steve said: it was “developing nicely” and that has excited some folks out there.

OPTI

Optibiotix Orders Announced – do I have sellers remorse?

It has been suggested elsewhere that I may have sellers regret with regard to both Optibiotix (OPTI) and Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX). Since I put my disposal proceeds into Kefi and Amaroq, which have both raced ahead, I do not. Moreover I do not need to worry about management with a track record of bollocksing things up and of serving up incomplete trading statements. That brings me to today’s RNS from Optibiotix.

OPTI

Letter to Liam Murray – another Optibiotix AGM statement needing correcting?

Clearly the big lie, and it was a blatant lie told to we loyal shareholders at the AGM of Optibiotix (OPTI) was, as heroic Ed from Islington called out on the day, Neil Davidson’s version of events leading up to the infamous made up RNS of October 10. But there is another statement made by the grossly overpaid chairman that also now needs correcting. I have written to Nomad, Liam “The Toke” Murray at Cairn Financial.

To do otherwise breaches the trust system of money. Only believing money received in the future has value, supports the idea of debt and credit. Without debt ( and return on that debt) , capitalism fails. Ability to print money on demand eliminates debt rational ( return) so collapses capitalism by default.

Others have attested that you only need to issue debt (government bonds) if you are running s as current account deficit. You issue the bonds to pay for your expenses EducationHealthBenefitsRoadsDefenceGovernment staff and buildings PoliceFireCoastguards I’m sure there are others. Quangos etc…If you just print money whilst running a deficit you risk a lack of confidence in the currency. MMT has been shown to be a lot of nonsense because the longer you keep spending what you don’t have the higher your deficit climbs. You either have to grow the economy to reduce the debt or reduce what you are spending. Zimbabwe and other third world countries have shown this. You can end up with hyper inflation which does nobody any good and further causes a sovereign monetary and debt crisis. Reduced public spending and/or increased taxes are the only alternatives….Or are they. The Laffer Curve suggests that the lowering of direct taxes fosters higher productivity and in turn increases tax revenues. Just don’t give all the tax cuts to the billionaires or you’ll end up with Trump’s America - and nobody wants that!In conclusion if it was that easy some other bugger would have done it already. Yes… we’re all screwed 😩

I concur. Meanwhile I took one out - not to replace lending, but to simply place on deposit. Cost me a bit initially but then provided a return as interest rates increased. Paid off the balance prior to company closure. Marginal gain, but it was free money ( to the company, but not the taxpayer). Joke system in all respects imv.
