Nope you lie - you are either TW or one of the acolytes, just look at your posting history ffs. Don't remember yourself or 'holders' Gridz or helx 1 posting any rational numerical analysis - just heavy, emotive bad mouthing of anything remotely positive.
AIM allows crooks like yourself short vulnerable stocks (they're almost all vulnerable small caps on AIM) & exploit the emotions of private investors to profiteer. Time to delete your BIDS-dedicated account on here & focus on your next made up profile / share to bash.
Nope, I'm neither me ol' mucker, and it was only a month ago you wrote the above quote.
The reason is you just wouldn't have it that BIDS was a dud - it was pointed out ad infinitum over the last 4 years by Helx, Girdz et al but you attacked and couldn't provide a rational numerical analysis at any point to back up the investment case. All you could spout was qualitative marketing sales BS from Draper with greedy eyes. Loss making AIM shares will lose you all your money. AIM itself should be shut down in its current regulatory form as it allows crooked CEOs to take all the money of greedy foolish people.
Lol thanks Tom - I wasn’t wrong with what I stated btw. TW cheated the system that day and got away with it - in spite of the heat that was turned on him (at least enough to retract his article). If the share price has been allowed to run its course I would have cashed a large chunk out.
So yes TW did cost me money - as has JD.
You’re either TW or an acolyte bringing that one up again.

i don’t care if in the round he’s been right about bids, that tactic was dirty af and personally cost me a large amount of profit.
the man is an egocentric, ****** bigot with a morally vacuous ensemble of followers who are more than happy to see uk businesses fail for their own selfish gains.
you’re one of them gridz - one of these days someone angry enough will pay that scumbag a proper visit given the amount of money that he’s cost genuine pis by his underhand tactics. it’s only a matter of time imo."
So, you lost your money because of Draper, but blamed it on Tom Winnifrith and lost your temper with Girdz and Helx because they kept rightly pointing out Bids was going under. If you keep investing in loss making AIM shares as you are doing you're going to be broke in your old age. I suggest you don't try and pay anyone "a proper visit" - you'll end up inside doing time as well.
What is this deal between Azerion and Bidstack about. Do we know where that will leave the shareholders and how do I join the Telegram group?
Helx2 - Thankyou for the heads up on the Telegram group. I am not on that platform so don't have access to it (and don't really wish to start now) but happy for my comments on here to be shared if you wish to. I do think they are valid comments.
As a measure of how much effort was put into the attempted sales process is a list of the "upwards of" 200 companies approached to be published to shareholders please Alvarez & Marsal ?
The good news is it's actually out of JD's hands now - if the administrators do their job correctly they will seek to recover as much of the value as possible / keep any parts that individually are profitable working. Are you in the new telegram group? probably the best way of keeping tabs on the core shareholder base / sharing thoughts. This lse board has been a wall of abuse both ways for years - not the most helpful.
Is there anyone on here who feels confident enough to speak to the administrators on behalf of the shareholders? I don't believe a word of what comes out of James Draper's mouth anymore. Surely Iderto will be asking some questions too I assume? What was the name of this shareholder who wanted to sue the board at some point? Where is he now? It feels to me that it would be a bit too easy to say that since no buyer has been found, Bidstack enters liquidation, so that JD and his mates can start all over again with a clean slate with their SRT or whatever his new company is called after having frankly wasted all of our money? Surely as many have said below the value of the IP should be used to compensate shareholders?
Hahahhahahaha so now you didn’t load up here.
Funny that isn’t it.
I smell some BS
I don't think fca reporting is the way - I think you need to get into the ear of the administrators to remind them they are obligated to distribute the full value of the assets (which included the IP) to shareholders. That IP is definitely worth something to others & even if they're getting bargain-basement prices for it, it is still the main source of bid's value.
That's also assuming the administrators don't find a way to keep parts of the business afloat.
A quick google reveals there are 433,410 Global Advertising Agency businesses as of 2024 , an increase of 2.6% from 2023. There are also 2,808 Video Games Software Development businesses in the US alone as of 2023 apparently. And only 200 potential buyers have been approached ? And this has all been concluded in just over a month ? Come off it, I smell a rat and he is not called Roland. I am nobody in the grand scheme of things but I think a shareholder or shareholders with some clout ought to be asking some hard questions and conducting their own independent audit of this "administration" process. Years of work, tens of millions spent and the end result isn't worth much to anybody , anywhere ? I find that hard to believe.
Except i said I was ‘waiting to’ - still have them in he1 so never made the switch fortuitously. You don’t seem to be very down about the loss of your investment. Strange that.
Does anyone know if it is legal to shield the IP from the assets or if it amounts to fraud? If not shall we not all report James Draper and Lisa Hau?

“I'm fortunate I had the HE1 break earlier this year as this would have hurt particularly hard.”
Yes but you bragged how you were putting all your profits in here Helx2. Oh dear oh dear.
Helx says you are a dreamer still believing here.
I say you are one big MUG.
Set up a mockery account, lambasted everyone and now got massive egg on face.
Big LOL
Hold on what do you mean by IP?
It means intellectual property right?
https://www.sellingmybusiness.co.uk/articles/selling/a-guide-to-intellectual-property-when-selling-a-business
Surely this was part of the 'assets' of the company, if not it's called fraud in my books no? Could someone with some legal background call the administrators and find out? as this really sounds dodgy to me. JD should be sued by the shareholders if he is shielding the IP.
Dear oh dear Helx2
You've certainly had your gonads squeezed good n proper....and serve you right!
Still dreaming I see. The IP address is about as valuable as your advice. Hope it stings.
Of course the IP was shielded, he'll probably sell that off to a private company he owns for £1 and go on to huge things.
The question is, who exactly was talking to those 200 odd potential buyers?
I don't disagree fog - the IP is definitely worth something but it's been shielded thus far & likely will have been from any interested parties. Might touch base with the administrators.
The Value of Bidstack is in the IP so I hope that when the administrator contacted over 200 potential buyers the IP was included otherwise it's no surprise that they didn't find any buyers. I cannot believe than the likes of Disney, Sony, EA wouldn't have been interested in Buying Bids. The negotiation was probably flawed as usual when it comes to JD's trying to fool everyone and putting wool over everyone's eyes. They should just sell the whole thing including IP, pay back shareholders who have put their hard earned cash into paying JD and his mates their salaries over the last few years and move on to pastures new. I believe there is karma in this world and JD will never be able to set up a business again in his lifetime if he doesn't behave with integrity this time around. I will certainly never again put a penny in any of his shoddy businesses. I don't know him personally but he comes across as a crook. End of.
The real lesson to be learnt is to never invest in lossmaking aim stocks. It's a lesson pretty much everyone on these boards has to learn at some point. The real question is whether you actually learn that or if you chase another rainbow. Understand that there are no consistent ways to make quick money, all you are doing is gambling if you are chasing multi bags.
Fool me once. Shame on you etc.
Interesting post H2: thank you. Sorry if people are down by more than petty cash but it has been a classic AIM performance, and, for me, a fascinating introduction to the vagaries of a BB. Still think Bids has the germ of a very good idea but seems it is now time to borrow one of Mrs M's pins again and look elsewhere for another penny punt; or a good week to pick a geegee I'm told. ATB
I'm still here - just didn't see the point of posting when people are only here to poke fun / brag about never having to re-pay their short interest re BIDS.
Naturally i'm very disappointed with the news - a small part of me remains hopeful that the administrators find a way of bringing elements of BIDS back online / delivering value - but seems unlikely. I can already see maneuvering by JD to preserve his IP & start afresh (promotional video of bidstack posted on their twitter feed after the news), can't see JD ever wanting / letting administrators sell-off the IP (which is definitely worth something) - not cool for shareholders but alas that's why you have to diversify / keep a look out for other opportunities. I'm fortunate I had the HE1 break earlier this year as this would have hurt particularly hard.
Story isn't quite over yet but I'm not counting my chickens - let's see what the next couple of months brings.
I'm here. Flattered to be designated a "ramper". Interested that DC has something to do with Norwich Footie Club. Do tell.
Always know where Gridzy is but can't help with Bz and Hexl 1 or 2.
