Breaking news and expert analysis on fast-moving AIM and LSE listed shares
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from ShareProphets). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.
Shares in Quindell (QPP) have today been suspended on news that the FCA is now formally investigating and that Quindell itself is now investigating a host of other fraudulent related party transactions over and above the over-statement of profits. The fallout for Rob Terry, Quindell shareholders, ex CEO Rob Fielding and the other crooks in the cabal will be massive. Jail beckons for some. Daniel Stewart is in the merde as Quob Park will unravel. For me I am now 100% vindicated. Or as Rob Terry would have, it 2+2 = 150% vindicated.

I wonder if shorters have a legal case against Quindell / RT too? We should have been able to close out shorts at close to 0p (fair value) and were not able to purely because of fraud and lies…
Paul Scott
Very well done Tom, you have indeed been vindicated.
Shame on everyone who attacked you.
Regards, Paul Scott.

yeah but…
Mr Terry could not be reached for comment on Wednesday. He told the Telegraph in April that “there’s never been an issue with the FCA”.

“Rob Terry, lube up, B Wing beckons.”
reminds me of a scene from the boondocks… “you can call me the health inspector”

More comedy writing from the QPPSAG sponsored Quindell Echo – 8 positives and only 2 negatives.
I bet he had trouble writing the 2 negatives.

I have said it many times , but will say it again :-
well done on your pioneering work to bring Terry and his crew and other companies to book . Many underestimate the sheer courage and determination to carry out such work and achieve a result like this one . I for one , know that I could never have taken the sustained pressure that you have endured over a long period . Lean back and take the plaudits …….. you deserve it . Lets hope this FCA investigation signals a turning point for AIM and it begins to inspect its own navel ( that means you Aim Regulation )
DUCK AND DIVE
While your exuberance/triumphalism is understandable, don’t we need to wait for the outcome of these investigations before declaring yourself 100% vindicated?
But you and others have been 100% successful in galvanising the FCA into action at last — and that’s no mean feat in itself.

“Rob Terry, lube up, B Wing beckons.”
Wonder if I could get the Guardian to use that as a headline when, no doubt, its superb finance team report this story.

Re: Rob Terry

Here is what I imagine everybody involved is now legally obliged to say, or words to this effect,
“Given the existence of an investigation, we will not be providing further comment.”
Lots of spite against Rt as usual. Nobody has yet mentioned St Thomas of Clerkenwell, the sainted pizza caff’ owner.”
I have a message to A E Marsh
You bought Quindell and got screwed by Rob Terry and you were just so easy.
But I also bought Quindell, and I never got screwed by Rob Terry, and for me it just as easy
Think on that next time your mind turns to Clerkenwell

A truly great day, well done Tom and ShareProphets team. The tenacity and thick skin you have showed has been incredible and I am sure it has got to you at times. The shame should not only be on QPP, but the BB morons who have abused and hated.
The mainstream press too are guilty of riding on the coat tails of the good work here. I will forgive John Ficenec of the Telegraph, who is a fantastic tipster and top market analyst. But he is well behind in the kudos queue today.

I’d like to add my congratulations. I wonder how much more the deluded morons, who bought into this POS, would have lost without the likes of Tom, Gotham, Paul Scott and others bringing sanity to the proceedings.
Perhaps they should take a moment to consider that before following Terry and Quob Park into Daniel Stewart and Imaginatik…… Oh dear, too late.

Your hard work and dedication to uncovering the truth has been epic!
Every honest person investing in the market owes you and the Shareprophets team a huge debt of gratitude.
Through your outstanding investigative skills in uncloaking the disgraceful deceit at Quindell and of its Founder, a clear message has been sent to all the other megalomaniac snakes operating similar ‘slight of hand business practices’……. its not safe……. the Sheriff’s on your case!
As a huge pile of SH*T implodes, everyone tends to get splattered, not least, Quindell’s ‘saviours’, whom it seems are going to be facing a rather torrid time too, as questions are asked!!!

“ for Rob Terry prison beckons “
Ha Ha, dream on Tom
If you commit fraud wearing a white collar in the UK, nothing happens.
For everyone else, yes prison beckons.

Unfortunately the bastards went with this :

Clueless as usual.

To say I am impressed with this story is an understatement.
i cannot recall this ever happening before, where somebody called it upfront before shareholders lost their money.
Well done, and as someone who bought Quindell, thank you

Tom,
More classics from the serial dumbass RT worshipers on the LSE QPP Board – A E Marsh and akcsl (still blaming everybody else).
AE Marsh seems to imply that the statements about financial comments being investigated may by about a certain blogger….
“An example? Somebody claims part of the business is worthless and this harmed the company in a material fashion, a while later those parts are sold for a lot of money and it is proven they were not worthless. Let me repeat, this is a simple example of a possible scenario, and has, to the best of my knowledge no basis in fact at this time but is one of many possibilities.
akcsl – still moaning about Tom – no criticism of RT yet….
“If some blogger were to have done what you’ve suggested and ruined people’s investments, employees Chritmas’ and senior staff and director’s marriages or the life of a girlfriend of someone who tweets the journalist then you’d assume they’d be very apologetic for their insidious behaviour?”
Where TWG? Banned again????

ROCK ON TOMMY

Well done Tom. What I admire most is your unequivocal denouncement of Rob Terry and Quindell as frauds; there was no “apparently” or “allegedly” in your writings and you had the balls to call their bluff over legal action. I always thought it was insane to put your balls on the line, however strong your case was, but it looks like you pulled it off. I’m only going to say “looks like” as I’m a cautious type and the investigation has only just started but I guess it would be uncharacteristic of you not to be shouting from the rooftops ahead of the outcome.

So I guess that is 1 moron not apologising to me.
To all posters here – thanks for support today ( and always), time for another ouzo methinks

Is this the new BOD clearing the decks before making a clean break? Did they perhaps uncover something and actually ask the FSA to investigate (it was actually QPP who released the RNS first, which the FSA responded too – normally the FSA don’t announce they are investigating anyone)? Is this the ‘kitchen-sink’ approach of getting all the bad news out of the way, blaming it all on the old, now-departed directors before launching the new Quindell (which will 100% not be known as Quindell following a rebrand)? Personally i think this is ‘fess-up time with the new BOD looking to adopt a squeaky-clean approach from now on. Any thoughts?

You had a 0p target. What is it now?

You had a price target of 0p.What is it now?

Well done Tom!! Let’s hope that NEW will be in the FCA’s headlights, in the not-too-distant future, also!
Again – well done!
