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.
I exposed the massive panama pump fraud at TMC Southern and Quindell (QPP) back in August 2014 and Quindell/Watchstone (WTG) now admits I was 100% right - having first said it would sue me for libel. It would be appreciated if the new management might apologise for that. Now we have some answers as to why TMC has not been struck off despite now being late on THREE sets of accounts. Companies house and I have swapped emails.

“I think you can take this as a yes. The third party is the SFO.”
If a negative could prove a positive, Cluedo™ would be a dull game
Mac
Actually, the wording that alludes to a positive is ‘anticipated that question’ bit.
Surely they would only anticipate a rather unusual query concerning the SFO if the SFO had been in touch!
Duck and Dive
No, they could have anticipated that question if they had received other communiqués from “Tom” or if they had been sent a link to a ShareProphets article or specifically if “Tom” had previously asked whether it is possible in principle for the SFO to lodge an objection against any company being struck off.
The Taxma
The usual objectors are HMRC to a company being struck off
A question of getting information as to tax liabilities and who owes it …… Payment is another thing of course
filthy lucre
Usual spin Tom, and unconfirmed speculation dressed as fact.
‘Journalist’ my arse! It was probably objection from HMRC to strike off.
You were 100% certain that Quindell was going bust……….

The way I read it, your correspondent was simply anticipating there would be an enquiry as to the nature of the third party.
Nice try though.
