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.
Al Capone was never prosecuted for his real crimes, it was the tax man who got him. I shall be making dam sure that for his lies and fraud Rob Terry of Quindell (QPP) does not get off so lightly. However I am equally concerned that all directors of the AIM Companies who have done deals with Equity First Holdings LLC do not try to avoid Capital gains Tax on the shares they have sold. A formal note on all of them will go to HMRC in due course but pleasure before business, let’s start with Robert Simon Terry of Quindell. This article will be sent to HMRC.

IGas & OPay transactions in 2013-14 tax year, so those CEO’s may have already filed “inaccurate” returns that HMRC can actually investigate NOW.

Looks like Qpp is well fooked from here on in. I’ve given you bollocks for months now under various guises but credit where credits due you did not waver, you did not desist under legal pressure and you remained committed to revealing fraud and injustice. Well done.
I don’t agree with the aggressive, masogenistic and patronizing slant to many of your articles but that’s your prerogative and I suspect a street fighters mentality is a prerequisite in your former life
Anyway once again well done and thanks for the 3k loss.

Given you acknowledge the help of Evil, should your disclosure are the top not also include a disclosure on Evil’s position. Full and honest disclosure is important after all – if in doubt disclose more not less would be a good motto for all.

Tom, I wonder if you have overlooked http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/manuals/cfmmanual/cfm17280.htm, which seems to suggest that HMRC treat this kind of transaction as a non-event for CGT purposes. I appreciate that the Equities First “loans” are non-recourse, which might affect their view, but I don’t know whether that question has ever been tested.
