Reader Poll - who was the biggest stockmarket villain of 2015?

We have featured a range of total wrong'uns on these pages during 2015 but who do you think was the biggest stockmarket villain of the year? Rob Terry for the Quindell fraud but also for his Knob Park antics at Imaginatik and Daniel Cesspit or was he the 2014 villain? David Lenigas for the fiasco at Lenigas Cuba and the disgraceful antics of Afriag as well as the Horse Hill fiasco? Peter Landau for finally getting his comeuppance? Criminal and liar Chris Oil who surely gets his collar felt in 2016? Naibu's Houyan Lin? What about Costis from Globo? The AIM Casino short list is in fact a depressingly long list but you can vote from the dirty dozen I have shortlisted below. Deadline midnight 3rd January

isn’t this getting all abit of a yawn?constantly finding crap companies and going on and on and on about the downsides?
how about tying to pick some new winners again……?
I doubt many of your readers know how to trade short(sounds silly but probably true) so wouldn’t it be more beneficial to try and find them a few more OPTI’s?
Happy New Year and atb for 2016

I am not going to vote for poor old (young?) Canace Wong. I haven’t a clue who she is.
Clearly the real comedy villian of the AIM is Mr Winnifrith himself.

So, there are actual people who think that someone who exposes fraudsters is a bigger crook than the fraudsters he exposes? I don’t think you guys should be allowed real money, which, given your likely investment choices, you soon wont have any anyway.

Even if you don’t like him, do you really believe TW is a bigger crook than the confessed fraud Globo mob? really? no, of course you don’t. you are just angry because you are invested in shit companies that TW has written about and have lost most of your money. you are unable to see that this is your fault and not his! Given that the people who now have your money are probably on this list, isn’t that ironic!
