A fraudster, should go to jail for a very long time. One day I will find him and ask him about his deception if his answers don't add up then I apologise for my actions.
You will be doing man kind a favour mate
Give a man a gun and he can rob a bank. Give a man an AIM directorship and he can rob the world.
Despite months of people throwing the F word around, I have seen no evidence to back that up. Bad luck, timing and incompetence perhaps, but fraud?
Thin line, he maybe just be on the technically legal side but was he honest, was he making statements that he knew in reality where very unlikley? The guy is a disgrace and I wouldn't trust him as far as my Grandma could kick him. Call it what you want but it is not what you expect of a senior company official IMHO. Hope it is his last BOD appointment.
Granted, they told us some deeply misleading statements at the 2016 AGM, but I still don't think he was a fraudster. And I was wondering about it recently. Maybe they were desperately trying to hide any sign of weakness which would have given the bondholders the upper hand, or they were bluffing different parties into thinking discussions were more advanced in order to try and bring them (back to) the table. Both him and Kew put 13+ years into this and saw what they thought was going to be a very comfortable retirement disappear. Even if XER remains afloat he's lost his shares too and the employees have seen options that were once valued at $20M+ evaporate too. And what's the chance that he'll get taken on by any successor company or get anywhere near such a generous number of shares or share options in future? Anyway, I've been accused this week of being Tom Winnifrith over on a different share discussion, which is a first. Not even LEGENDS came up with that, and on that note I wish you all a great christmas and maybe you'll get some good news in the new year with respect to how much bidders are willing to pay for Bentley.
Tend to agree, by circumstances both Cole and Kew elevated above their competency levels, RC may be a qualified accountant and SK technically capable, but that does not make one a good ceo and the other capable operations exec, as has sadly been proven.
Actually ironically as it seems to be turning out, RC and co may have a better option in hanging on to their XEL stock with the Bondholders proposal gone, in praying with the upturn in poo an improved offer to that of the Bondholders they were trying to shove down shareholders throats materialises.
