#152848. A 'beacon', eh.

Ok.

Thanks for your concern, it's really touching. At least the copy and paste skills are in evidence, though, fair play for him mastering that.

Basically he's saying 'all this stuff I'm copying and pasting shows it was really hyped, loads of people got disappointed. And I REALLY want you to believe this will always be the case and despite the current undemanding market cap, it can never go up any more. Well, no more than the 42% or so it has already done since June'

You're just the latest naive muppet to come along.BBM posts these things as a beacon, to WARN you.

A lengthy post, copying and pasting ancient history from 2019.

Well done, must have taken a while. Presumably you thought the effort was worth it, but most will find that what the future holds is rather more relevant today.

Particularly those that hadn't even heard of this company a few weeks ago, and have familiarised themselves with how the valuation got to this point - and what's likely in future from here.

VRS is being ramped very heavily on the LSE nut house, another sign a raise in coming IMO.

"Culprits"???

What are you implying???

[1retirement] 19/7/2024 15:52

Maybe you should read up on Joey Bartons case sir

It's a placing, it always has been, why wouldn't it be? It's been anything else but a murky, grubby fundraise where insiders make a shedload and Directors get a bonus for it. Can't believe that it's still legal.

I have a cat called Tiggy and she certainly has no access to social media.

Festario - "You can’t defame the character of someone who HAS no character."

Even if they have a character or name to defame its still not enough. It depends on circumstances who is making the allegation and the extent of the damage caused.

For example a football fan pays £1500 for a season ticket. The club is relegated and he uses social media to accuse the manager of throwing games and accepting bribes. He comments are directly linked to the relegation and what he perceives as the loss of his money. The manager can't sue the fan on those grounds because its likely the fan's opinions are honestly held.

If such allegations were made by the Daily Mirror the manager can sue the paper.

With everybody including Tiggy the cat having access to social media and public forums the courts are very particular as to what they would accept before it as defamation.

Share price increase of Approx 60%+ in the past 30 days.

Is it……R30;
An incoming /upcoming placing?
Further asset disposals?
Commercial deal?
Collaboration deal?
Possible incoming bid for the company?

Take your pick.

[festario] 19/7/2024 13:23

Precisely! You can't defame the character of someone who HAS no character. Did PWhite just call me a fat pig? I hope he has more than 11 pounds and 38 pence in his back pocket, because that's my war chest for litigation these days.

"Whether it be your personal reputation in the eyes of others or to compensate for financial loss." Two salient things to note here:

1)The precondition is that there should be a personal reputation to lose. Evidence proves that there was none to lose.

2) The financial loss was suffered by the shareholders - where is their compensation.

Apart from that all good.

So what do we think the incoming Placing Price is based on the share price action?

[pwhite73] 19/7/2024 12:59

I agree. I was merely stating what a judge takes into account. You can sue someone for calling you a 'fat pig' if you have the money.

[festario] 19/7/2024 12:51

It was a defamation case...You say, 'Furthermore you cannot pursue a case of libel just to punish people who bad mouth you on a public forum' You can pursue any civil case you like, if you have more financial resources than the person you are suing

1retirement - "Opinions and thoughts are one thing, making statements such as he did without firm evidence is another."

If the evidence was firm it wouldn't be libel would it?. It would be a fact.

Libel is not just about true or false statements. The judge takes into account whether the defendant genuinely expressed how they felt irrespective of the facts. Furthermore you cannot pursue a case of libel just to punish people who bad mouth you on a public forum. Listed companies use public forums to entice PIs to invest. That's what the RNS service and Proactive Interviews are all about.

The purpose of a libel case is restore damage caused by false or misleading allegations. Whether it be your personal reputation in the eyes of others or to compensate for financial loss. If there is no loss of reputation among the intended audience then you are skating on thin ice to bring a case to the High Court.

AIM directors do not have an online audience that treat them with any modicum of respect unlike say a doctor corresponding online.

The statements turned out to be correct though, and it's only the financial muscle that Ricketts had at that time that bullied Clubbie into caving.

[1retirement] 19/7/2024 12:05

Opinions and thoughts are one thing, making statements such as he did without firm evidence is another.

[1retirement] 19/7/2024 12:03

Tell that to the guy who did get taken to court here!

[festario] 19/7/2024 11:51

If Clubbie could have held on, it would either have still been pending, or he would have won it by now. He could have made a pretty penny.
