Presumably creditors could seek to expropriate Levine's 5,374,000 shares in the company (4.5%). They could come onto the market which might impact the share price unless they are directly acquired by another director or investor.

'Beano', the runaway financier, and the frantic hunt for £70m

Metropolitan Police and the SFO, which confirmed that it had heard a series of serious allegations, are trying to piece together the facts. Why did investors give millions to Mr Levene in the first place? Had the money been embezzled or simply lost on volatile markets? Was this really a fraud or just bad business judgment? The biggest surprise for many of Mr Levene's high-rolling friends is that anyone gave him money to invest on their behalf. "Whether this is fraud or not, this whole operation is staggering," said one well-known financier. "These investors seem to have simply sent Mr Levene millions of pounds, personally, without even a bank account. He wasn't even qualified, he was a broker, a middle man, he should never have been managing money and I never knew that he did." At Leyton Orient, where he and his wife Tracey, 42, had been regulars at home games, he had not been seen since August. The following month, he resigned from the board of Touch Group, a small listed company, citing "personal reasons".



Vanished City trader's losses may hit £200m

FOUR clients of a missing City financier claim they have lost £30m each, according to officials investigating the case. Total claims against Nick Levene, a 45-year-old trader and adviser, amount to £200m - three times the sum originally feared. Thirty clients have contacted Deloitte, the insolvency experts investigating Levene, who was declared bankrupt in his absence earlier this month. However, one source who knows Levene well said: "Thirty clients is laughable - there are loads." A source at a firm of private investigators said claims against Levene - nicknamed Beano - could easily exceed £300m, because of the high returns he had told investors they were making.

'Beano', the top City financier, disappears amid allegations he owes investors £70m

A city trader nicknamed Beano because of his extravagant lifestyle has disappeared amid claims he owes clients more than £70m. Metropolitan Police are investigating allegations of fraud and last night a senior City of London figure said he believed the financier could owe investors as much as £200m......Yesterday Levene, his wife Tracey, 42, and their three children were nowhere to be seen at their £2m mock-Tudor home in High Barnet, North London.....Neighbours said the family - once known for throwing huge garden parties - had suddenly begun moving out a month ago. Levene recently opened bank accounts in Northern Cyprus, which does not have an extradition treaty with Britain. He also owns a villa in Tel Aviv, although the High Court has frozen his assets and ordered him to surrender his passport.....Levene has claimed his £18m debt to the Stagecoach moguls was due to a 'misunderstanding'. Three weeks ago he is understood to have quit the board of a technology company, saying he needed to 'organise his personal affairs'.

www.daildooh.co.uk article dated 5th Feb 2008

HMV have (we think quite correctly) credited the digital portions of their store re-fits with much of their business turnaround and excitement from City investors. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that a High Street CD, DVD retailer needs to completely re-position its offering in order to meet the challenges set by the online merchants.

We don't think that HMV and their compatriots on the high street actually go far enough - comfortable seating, knowledgeable store staff, free Wi-Fi, perhaps the odd water cooler or coffee machine might get us in, keep us in and encourage us to buy.

The 9 screen seamless plasma wall front of house shown above is the work of MediaZest who are also we understand working on the HMV store in High Wycombe at this moment.

Retail Week reported in detail last week in an article entitled "Following market-bucking Christmas trading, entertainment retailer HMV is to roll out its next-generation store format".

In that article HMV chief executive Simon Fox was quoted as saying "Having traded our trial stores through Christmas and completed customer research, we are working through our plans for roll-out."

Encouragingly for our industry he emphatically pointed out that his new store model had worked best at the original 8,000 sq ft pilot at Merry Hill, near Dudley and "Here, we have seen very strong like-for-like uplifts compared with the rest of the chain, particularly in product areas we are targeting for higher growth such as games, technology and kids DVDs,".

We believe that the interactive hub, where customers can use PCs and kiosks for entertainment, social networking, online ordering and downloading, also tested very well, as did the gaming zones.

Excitingly - ALL new store openings in 2008 will adopt the next-generation format.

We don't think that MediaZest got enough credit for the work that they did here. This is a real boost to the retail signage industry - a high profile, well known CEO crediting the industry with a retail sales uplift. We should shout this from the roof tops!!!

Would have been nice if there was some kind of incentive to go
with those options, say the price to hit 20p within 3 years would help
otherwise they really mean absolutely nothing to investors.

we may see a director buy or more than one director..giving confidence to investors and the market...but Isacc V buying all the time means nothing now...looks desperate really...he has another agenda?
raising cash @8p and then via another route at 6p...that is not exactly
proving to the market that things are moving forward does it.

It will be interesting to see who purchased the new shares
as these will represent around 33% of the enlarged company.

I cannot beleive the new investors did not see some updated
figures -

going to test lows again by the looks of things. No news means bored investors = share price drift.

Interesting point there.

If there have previously been lots of investors and a peak and then you get the sort of downward history TOU has had, no doubt it takes longer for trust to develop again if the company starts to come good. (compared to say a share that has always been flat and dead and then starts to post good stuff).

On the other hand, a share such as TOU is a lot more known than a previously flat share, so potentially there's a lot more investors to come back in, possibly in a hurry.

Don't panic, I'm not getting bullish ;-)
