Doc Holiday has just published a phone message left to him by our favourite flavour of the month, market abuser (HERE, HERE and HERE) Chris Oil. It seems like dear old Chris got wind of Sefton’s placement before it happened and called Doc to let him know the good news. We provide an exclusive transcript of the message below.

On hearing this “rumor of a placing”, I was almost as shocked the day finding out boy George was gay!
One thing it does demonstrate is tha DocH IS/WAS part of the crowd, so kettle calling pot black?
The market is corrupt, get over it!

I got a call from a Jehovah’s witness the other day, does not prove I am one. Actually I didn’t but I am trying to make a point.
Did Doc trade the shares on the basis of that info? No. I think your case against him entirely unproven.
Gosh I am bored with this whole circus, will leave it to Flip Flop to take this point on

Think doc had already had the sense to sell, he’s no fool, I’m just saying he was on Mr Oils list of phone a friends.
The whole new world/sefton .goings on have unearthed some questionable relationships and practices on all sides, but are we surprised? No
Your best staying out of personal spats/vendetas imo.

So..This is a case of the Pot Calling The Kettle Black imho.

Who is the pot and who the kettle?
If you are referring to flip flp there is zero evidence that he is a market abuser. A tedious New World obsessive maybe but that is not a crime

I would have thought it’s pretty normal human behaviour to ‘phone your friends with any info that might interest or help them.Yes,that puts people in breach of insider trading rules/laws in some cases – which helps to explain why those rules/laws get broken so frequently.I appreciate that Chrisoil isn’t Ben’s favourite person,but it seems a bit rough to single him out for putting his friends ahead of his blog followers.
