Posted at 24/3/2015 19:45 by fishermansfriend Interesting post on the TXO board:"truth_hurts_2105 24 Mar'15 - 02:12 - 7502 of 7509 7 0 TB's greatest fear is that of exposure. I don't think he's driven as much by ego (although that is a HUGE factor) as he is by FEAR. Nobody knows where all the money and shares actually went in the various "deals" he and his fellow felons have put together over the years. Sure, the director fees, perks, and "retirement funds" have been amazingly lucrative for someone who's failed to generate any revenues at all, but it is my belief that the REAL money is made on phantom transactions with offshore entities. If he loses control of his companies, if he loses access to information about any legal or accounting searches through the company records to see who has actually benefitted from these transactions, he knows he is in serious trouble. He has built a house of cards, and he absolutely depends on controlling access to the information used to create that house. FF may differ, but I don't believe he is a dolt who was taken in by Malcolm Bendell in TOG. I don't for a moment believe Tim Baldwin was "taken in" by another conman, and wasted TXO assets on a failed vision from a raving lunatic. It is my belief that he and Bendell had a beneficial partnership, used to launder funds from their various criminal transactions through a multiplicity of offshore and almost untraceable transactions. They shared a crooked accountant, Mark Callaway, who "worked" at RAM, Silk Road, East African Oil, Frontier Mining , and EEGC. They had a common interest and a common bond, and hoped to use their various frauds to compliment and support each other. See, in addition to TOGL and TOG, the Coleridge Resourses "deal" whereby Malcolm Bendall and the TXO crew tried to turn a defunct and stolen empty shell company into a 35 million payday using nothing other than a few sham transactions and press releases. They currently share and have the active support of a deeply crooked and nearly bankrupt lawyer in constructing these transactions. They didn't, and don't, care whether TOG (or Athabasca, or OTR, or ORS, or GBG, or even TXO) live or die. They are simply conduits to funnel shares and cash. If those shells collapse (sorry, WHEN they collapse) they will be replaced by other front companies and the fraud will continue. He is a criminal who fears exposure. A sociopath, a liar, a fraud. That's the simplest explanation." Clearly TB never got round to abusing CTFA, because it never had any real money, hence he was not worried about handing over the reins to his old mate Tim Godwin to go down with the ship that TB and TH had already holed below the waterline. |
Posted at 22/3/2015 12:14 by fishermansfriend TXO have managed to sneak ahead of CTFA in the race to see which delists from AIM first."TXO (TXO) has – after two months of searching – failed to find a Nomad to act for it after the resignation of Northland. Consequently it will be boosted off the AIM casino next week. I have spoken to boss Tim Baldwin who insists that most shareholders will actually welcome this as AIM is an expensive place for microcaps to raise money and maintain a listing......" "Baldwin blames the structure of AIM but also an “internet troll” for TXO’s disastrous share price decline pre de-listing..." "The sad reality for Mr Baldwin is that after RAM and Cientifica, TXO is his third AIM disaster in three years. It’s a hat-trick for Mr Baldwin and the investor community has lost trust in him completely. And whatever TXO says, it has missed operational target after operational target and has had an endless need for cash and thus it must take a large degree of responsibility for its own demise as a listed entity...." With another month to go before CTFA also delists, we can safely assume neither TXO nor CTFA will be appearing at the UK Investor Show this year LOL |
Posted at 19/12/2014 20:59 by fishermansfriend Most pathetic interim statement I have ever read, but at least it does not lie:"the Company had failed to implement its investing strategy" "the listing of its ordinary shares on AIM will be cancelled at 7.30 am on 24 April 2015." "the Company has largely spent its cash" "reverse takeover opportunities being currently evaluated." - reverse take over in this situation = virtual total annihilation of existing shareholders only marginally better that the total annihilation of delisting. "creditors exceeding the Company's cash balances" "secured support from one of the Company's major shareholders" = Bruce Gordon from TV Capital who appointed Tim Godwin in the first place and is desperate to avoid having another Tim Baldwin total failure on his books. "Net Current Assets/(Liabilities) (77)" "Net Assets/(Liabilities) 40" "Investments 115" Are Tim Harper's share in GHeat and a convertible loan to GHeat worth this (It is what was paid not what it is worth stack of good will an likely to be flogged for a lot less than paid, if it can be flogged at all (GHeat looks to be nothing more than a flashy website). Anyone who did not sell here before suspension has lost virtually everything if not everything. You can't say you were not warned. You can blame the master AIM scam artist Tim Baldwin if it makes you feel better, but in reality you only have yourselves to blame. Watch the TXO BB to see if a Class Action develops against TB, which might give you an opportunity to get some of your money back, there would not be enough in it to get a class action going against CTFA. |
Posted at 30/7/2014 17:15 by slobberchops More on Perpetuus and other CTFA partners |
Posted at 17/7/2014 17:49 by drunken sailor I hope the short term loan they are looking at is not like the one Baldwin took out at RAM where he borrowed £50k and after the principle was paid back the company still owed £180k in interest.What an absolutely shocking company this is, a load of spin and tie ups with losers, a failed placing because Baldwin had to play his usual trick of e-mailing all and sundry with the placing presentation (now on the CTFA website for all to see thanks to me)an no investment and no money with which to invest and the clock is well and truly ticking with desperation now rife. Nobody is going to trust this bunch of losers with any real money to invest, no decent investee would want anything to do with them. This is just another Baldwin scam trying to exploit the hype around graphene, but the market is well wise to him now. |
Posted at 13/6/2014 17:50 by ih_318421 What sort of mugs do they take us for?"has entered into a collaboration with Perpetuus Carbon Group ("Perpetuus"), a world leader in the production of nano surface modified graphenes." From Duedil: "Perpetuus Carbon Group Limited was set up on 12 Nov 2013. Its current status is listed as "Live" and it currently has one director. Its founding director was Mr John Milford Buckland. Perpetuus Carbon Group Limited has 2 subsidiaries." Amazing to become a world leader in 6 months especially when they do not know the difference between graphene and grapheme "For any company to be successful in the commercialisation of graphene materials they need to offer ALL the following features to a customer:-- Consistent high quality graphemes." Not sure who Ian Walters is but JM Buckland: "Mr John Milford Buckland was born in 1958 and the first directorship we have on file was in 1991 at Ashfield Yard Management Limited. His most recent directorship is with Perpetuus Carbon Up-Cycling Research & Development Limited where he hold the position of "Company director". This company has been around since 19 May 2014. In total, John has held 61 directorships, 18 of which are current, and 43 are no longer active." I can't be bothered to list all his failed companies, but it is the same old story of CTFA linking up with complete no hopers and serial failures like Stephen Voller and Alex Hamer. No wonder they still can't get a placing away. I wonder what excuse they will give for not completing the Rainmaker (Alex Hamer) option which expires again on Sunday. |
Posted at 12/3/2014 20:17 by drunken sailor True to their word the presentation Tim was e-mailing out has been put on the website:hxxp://www.cientific It is exactly the same banal and totally unconvincing presentation that was e-mailed. I think the failure of the placing was not solely down to Market conditions, what "sophisticated" investor would part with cash on the basis of this? (apart from Bruce Gordon of course) "The net funds raised are to be used to invest in developing applications of graphene Funds will be applied to the following: Secure deals currently in progress Three deals are at advanced stages of investment in oil/water separation, heating and personal wellness We expect to conclude one in Q1 2014 and at least one more by Q2 2014 Support the existing energy storage project with London Graphene Ltd" How far would a few £100k have gone, once fees were taken out? These wonderful deals are not going to happen now particularly the ones that were expected to conclude in Q1 and Q2 and it looks like Stephen Voller is going to have to wait for his cut from this too. Tim Baldwin has gotten away with breaching all the placing rules and procedures so many times in the past he has probably forgotten (or may be never knew) what they are. I am sure he has been forcefully reminded. What will the shareprice be like when CTFA pluck up the courage to try again? |
Posted at 08/3/2014 10:24 by drunken sailor Hopefully (for the sake of the company and its advisers) there will be an announcement next week, which explains truthfully what has gone on with the placing and puts the rather pathetic and banal placing presentation fully into the public domain, rather than just in the hands of a randomly selected few (number no doubt growing uncontrollably the whole time).Until then let's concentrate on the strategic issues facing the company. In order to succeed it needs to raise significant amounts of money (proving to be very difficult) and invest the money in something that is going to make a lot more money in fairly short timescales (ie not graphene based products, which are going to take a decade to get from good idea to marketable product). AIM Micro Cap shell investing companies have a lot stacked against them and most end up failing and being recycled as shells again - this will be the ultimate fate of CTFA, it is just a question of how long and how much more money gets wasted on it before it happens. The advantage that a shell does have is that it already has a listing with shareholders who have been trapped for some time, probably written off their investment but are now optimistic about at least getting some of their money back. The CVA process that the company goes through to become a shell should mean the shell starts life with no liabilities. Unfortunately for CTFA it started life with a massive liability - TIMOTHY EDWARD BALDWIN. I have asked many times in many different places if anyone can name a single one of Tim's investing schemes that has actually made money for investors - I am talking about real investors not short term traders. Nobody has been able to name a single one, whilst the list of his total failures that have lost everything for investors and significant amounts for creditors lengthens almost weekly. It is worth examining why that is in more depth. The Companies Act 2006 lays down the duties of a director: Well worth a full read and asking yourself does Tim do all this? A few highlights from the Act A director of a company must act in the way he considers, in good faith, would be most likely to promote the success of the company for the benefit of its members as a whole, and in doing so have regard (amongst other matters) to- (a)the likely consequences of any decision in the long term, Does Tim consider the consequences of any decision over any term? His hallmarks are a total lack of proper due diligence (he uses the term but does he actually know what it means?) and a total lack of attention to detail. (c)the need to foster the company's business relationships with suppliers, customers and others, How can he do this when all he does is lose them money? He misrepresents the situation to all concerned, how can anyone trust him. pretending that a placing is underwritten and largely taken up but he can squeeze you in at the last minute is just one of his many hallmark tricks. (e)the desirability of the company maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct, All Tim's companies have a terrible reputation for employing the very worst standard of business conduct - how many complaints has the FCA had about the way he has conducted business over the years, they took him to court once themselves. (f)the need to act fairly as between members of the company. Ie not just line his and other director's pockets with fees plus giving Karolina a nice salary for sending e-mails on his behalf that should not be sent anyway! So the questions that need to be asked and answered fairly quickly are. Is Tim Baldwin in anyway able to promote the success of CTFA or is he going to be the single biggest factor in causing its failure? Is Tim Baldwin fit to be a director of any PLC? We can discuss the other fundamental flaws with this company, once the pathetic and banal placing presentation is fully in the public domain. |
Posted at 20/1/2014 09:36 by slobberchops While Drunky dreams of the day when the FCA will finally acknowledge his role in saving the global economy from the evil Dr Baldwin by lauding him with a thousand virgins laid out in Paternoster Square, doing a bit of research on this stock might actually help. In fact clicking on the links at the top of this thread would yield more useful and accurate information than anything posted here in the last 48 hours including the unsolicited investment advice for KNIGEL which seems to be "invest in the first thing you see that involves graphene but doesn't involve Tim Baldwin." It must be hard to find the time to google 'graphene' or even check any facts about CTFA while marshalling those multiple personalities. I notice that both CTFA and TXO are up today, so the message is obviously getting through to the markets, although Drunky's more immediate dilemma must be whether the to engage a psychiatrist or a lawyer. |
Posted at 19/1/2014 16:49 by knigel I will do some more research - please remember though I was invested here well before all this CTFA-Baldwin "discussion" started so it's not as if I invested here because of graphene... the jury is out (in my opinion) on whether this is legit but it's clear a lot of investors are getting excited about the future potential of this material, but CTFA hasn't been around long enough yet to warrant the same type of coverage some posters give to TXO which has a far longer disappointing track record. |
