Telit – auto sale delayed how does FinnCap sign off on such nonsense with a straight face?

As I warned would happen yesterday, the sale of Telit’s (TCM) auto division to Hong Kong based TUS has again been delayed. We are now told that it won’t meet the 31 January (new) deadline but will happen on or before 20 February after the Chinese New Year. Whatever… the statement itself throws up an enormous red flag, how on earth Nomad FinnCrap (FCAP) signed off on this crap defies belief…it is almost as if it is only in it for the retainers and does not care about doing its job properly.

The fraud Telit (#TCM) fesses Chinese at TUS has not raised cash needed - sale of auto division delayed yet again

Telit – auto sale on track, trading statement is a load of cobblers: sell

There is good news and bad from Telit (TCM) today. But overall the company founded by mortgage fraudster & fugitive from US justice Uzi Katz, who is under FCA investigation and still pulling the strings, remains a total bargepole at 132p.

Telit Communications – still a sell

With the share price of loss-making ‘Internet of Things’ play Telit Communications (TCM) flirting with a multi-year low, it is understandable that some may be tempted to go bottom fishing. As I see it, the bull case is as follows:

Are the wheels about to come off ref Telit’s disposal?

I can’t help but notice that the share price of AIM-listed Telit (TCM) hit a new end-of-week low last week, closing down at just 118.9p – a level not seen since August 2017. Of course, that still capitalises the company at £152 million, which seems extraordinary for a company looking to sell its crown jewels to leave it with, according to The Sheriff, perhaps only $10-20 million of cash at peak working capital usage. And loss making at the full year. But why the collapse now? Is that anything to do with the putative purchaser?

VINDICATION: Telit – FCA enquiry widened, implication is of wholesale securities fraud re 2017 placing

The fraud that is Telit (TCM) continues to unravel. We already knew that ex FD and CEO Yosi fait was being investigated for selling all his shares in early July 2017 while he was aware of damaging price sensitive information ( a profits warning) – that would be insider dealing. We know that founder, former CEO and the man who is still running Telit via puppet directors, Uzi Katz, is being investigated for not admitting that he was a fraudster and fugitive from justice.  Now it gets bigger.

Telit: Disposal delays, profits warning and other fake news

If smug Sam Smith’s FinnCrap (FCAP) had any integrity at all this RNS would have contained a line about how FinnCrap had quit as Nomad after reveltaions that fraudster & fugitive from justice Uzi Katz was still pulling the strings at Telit (TCM) and that a search was on for a new adviser. But FinnCrap is morally bankrupt so let's stick to the bad news.

Telit Communications: a look at the interims, still a Sell!

Still smarting from being accused of “confirmation bias” the other week on Tesla (ie wilfully ignoring the other side of the argument), I donned my rosy tinted specs while reading the Telit (TCM) interims.

Beer & Popcorn time: The man who backed the Quindell fraudsters moves to oust Insider dealer Yosi Fait from Telit

Davide Serra is a man with a track record of terrible calls. For starters he was pals with call Me Dave Cameron. Then he stuffed other folks cash – the funds he manages – into Quindell and sent pompous missives to the FCA demanding that we fraudbusters who were pointing out the blatant fraud be hung drawn and quartered. Quite simply Serra is a fool and a prick. Natch he has bought up 5% of Telit (TCM), the company founded by the US mortgage fraudster and fugitive from justice Oozi cats, nee Uzi Katz.

Telit & that disposal - still a sell

After nearly a year of trying, Telit Communications (LTCM) has finally announced the sale of its Automotive business. This is to Hong Kong-listed TUS International for $105 million (£80 million), a long way shy of the £100-150 million being bandied around by the FT back in October.
