BREAKING: The David Lenigas Afriag emails dossier

Twelve years ago David Lenigas was not all things bitcoin but was pumping a company called Afriag which I called out as a total POS. Natch I was right. Afriag saw Lenigas hook up wth a couple of tobacco smugglers from Zim South, Yusuf Kajee who took to twitter to troll me about my mum's suicide and Paul de Robillard. In fact while David Lenigas ran LonRho, the operation run by Robillard was caught smuggling fags. However, I was not the only thorn in the side of Afriag.

Accesso Technology – now expects to deliver full-year revenue at “lower end” of expectations, and is there worse to follow?

Most recently writing on group describing itself as “the premier technology solutions provider for leisure, entertainment, and cultural markets” accesso Technology (ACSO), in August last year with the shares down to 500p I questioned to what extent its sales pipeline would benefit it and concluded to avoid. The shares most recently closed at 476p and what about today a “Trading and Commercial Update”… and the shares currently at 375p!?

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast No 1: Trading like a dervish

I have fally sold my Wishbone (WSBN) shares, a less than two months almos four bagger. I no longer feel dirty. The proceeds have been largely reinvested in four stocks: two blue chips (one new), a mid cap and a penny share. I explain my thinking.

Wynnstay Group – interim results ‘encouragement’ from this winning share tip

Agricultural supplies and services group Wynnstay (WYN) has announced results for its half-year ended 30th April 2025 headlined “Encouraging first half. Project Genesis firmly under way and Group on track for full year forecasts”. How encouraging is this from this share tip currently up from a 335p offer price early this year to 370p?

Asking the FCA to investigate The London Bitcoin Company and its broker Clear Capital

I am not making any allegations but have formally requested that the FCA look at the exact timeline of events on 8th and 9th July to make sure that no insider dealing took place, if only to ensure that the outstanding reputation of Mr David Lenigas is not tarnished by suggestions of association to something so sordid. The fomal request reads:

I can remember 10 years ago when Dieter Zetsche the CEO of Daimler Benz said that he feared competition from the likes of Apple and Google, rather than traditional rivals Audi or BMW. At the time it seemed fanciful if not delusional. But it was prescient.

Sundae Bar – who do you think you are kidding Ms Kenny?

I supposed if you are advised by the morally bankrupt, journalist smearing PR mothers at Yellow Jersey you have some excuse for putting out such a daft release. But even so, the patsy for the Bixby/Edwards gang at Sundae Bar (SBAR), CEO Jill Kenny must take her shareholders for fools. In that, at least, she is, right.

EXPOSE: TAO Alpha, to be renamed Satsuma: a BONKERS valuation but its accounts are wholly non compliant

The bitcoin in treasury madness continues. Valuations are still crazy. Chancers like David Lenigas are ramping as never before. Sordid promoters discuss new valuation metrics to justify the insanity and amid all of this who cares about material accounting tomfoolery?

There's only 1 David Lenigas, oh no there are now two of them!

The stream of twitter garbage from Aussie penny share spiv Dave Lenigas in suport of his failing bitcoin grift, London Bitcoin Company (BTC) continues apace as the shares continue to tank. Such is the madness of this feed that I was beginning to wonder if @DavidLenigas was a parody account. Oh No!

Macfarlane – emphasises “strong new business pipeline”, but how’s converting it going?…

Having previously been positive on shares in packaging design, manufacturing and distribution group Macfarlane (MACF), noted weak customer demand and price deflation saw the shares downgraded to sell at 126p on the N50 Website last year. The shares most recently closed at 116.5p, and what about now a “Trading Update” and a current 100p share price?

Question for supporters of a wealth tax.

The idea that you will be taxed on unrealized gains is a horrific one for every entrepreneur. Right now the idea of a wealth tax on wealth on more than £10 million is being mooted but in every country that has introduced a wealth tax as the rich flee the threshold is normally reduced time and again.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: The bursting Lenigas bitcoin bubble, all sorts of questions: this stinks!

I start with holida reading here at the Greek Hovel which will horrify Euroloon Jonathan Price and others. Then a rare defeat at the FRC over Versarien (VRS) but surely AIM Regulation should be acting. Then the stink about today's disastous fund raise at David Lenigas spoof, the London Bitcoin Company (BTC). Is the bitcoin in treasury bubble bursting or the Lenigas bubble bursting? Regulators should be all over this. How many fund raises has it had since a January prospectus saying it had no need to raise for 12 months? I also look at CapAI (CPAI), surely placing ahoy!

Hostelworld – trading statement emphasising “positive trends”, so why an 11% lower share price response?…

Hostel market-focused online travel agent group Hostelworld (HSW) has issued a “Trading Statement” emphasising trading “in line with expectations” and that it is “encouraged by the positive trends observed in June”. So what about a current share price response to 126p, 11% down?

Bluebird Mining Ventures – “Philippine Project Agreement Signed”, with further news to come this month Buy with a near-term 2p+ target

Bluebird Mining Ventures (BMV) has announced “Philippine Project Agreement Signed”. With this emphasised as “a positive step forward in positioning the company to potentially receive substantial future revenues in perpetuity over the life of the mine”, what does it suggest from a 1.10p share price, £9.5 million market cap?

Northcoders – having been relying on a publicly-funded projects transition, Quelle Surprise…

Most recently writing on group describing itself as “a market leader in technology training in the UK” Northcoders (CODE), in April with the shares down to 62p I noted it stating it “confident in meeting current market expectations” but questioned how confident it could really be of that with a move to regional funding awards in process and concluded still bargepole/sell. The shares most recently closed at 50p and today a “Government Funding and Trading Update”… and what of the shares currently in response a further 23% lower?

Amaroq: something must be wrong? Why?

I am not asked but told that something MUST be wrong at Amaroq Minerals (AMRQ) as the shares have fallen back from the recent placing price of 85p to just 74p. The share price does not lie, we have wholly efficient markets which is why Warren Buffett does not exist.

Bankrupt Britain – welfare pays more than work says new report, this is madness

Every working day another 1,000 of our fellow citizens sign of as sick and, often without medical challenge go onto PIPs and other benefits. The zooming numbers of those off sick in the UK is totally out of step with every other country in the West. Natch the progressive left demands that we spend more on health education, preventative medicine and heling folks back into the workplace.
