@Mukiwa – As promised, all quotes taken before filter applied, or from previous replies highlighting basic errors.
Brandolini's Law: “The amount of energy needed to refute BS is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it.”

c2645sg - 28/02/26 – Quote: “AML have 250m cash in hand and owe Lucid 250m. The only reason they have that is cos they made circa 100m from F1 stake sale and 50m from F1 naming right recently.”
Facts – AML had £250m cash @ 31/12/25 & it did include £108m from sale of AMF1 stake.
Fiction - The £250m @ 31/12/25 did not include £50m F1 naming rights (only approved on 09/03/26).
Smoke & Mirrors – Comparing AML’s £250m cash balance with their £250m Lucid liabilities.
Fact – A £71.7m cash liability to Lucid, outstanding at 31/12/24, did not form part of AML’s cash spent in 2025.
Fact – Current £73.3m liability, plus £177m minimum powertrain component spend, does not equal £250m cash due in 2026.

c2645sg – 23/10/25 – “...forecasts £360mn of cash burn in 2025...That’s 1.7m per day cash burn. AML raised £110m a few weeks ago and currently burning through 1.7m per day, that's 65 days. Not long to go until the next cash raise folks, beware.”
Fiction – The AMF1 £108m, raised in Q3 2025, was not burnt at £1.7m a day and not used up in 65 days.
Irony - Using same F1 £108m for a different 2026 argument, after repeatedly saying it would all be gone in Q4 2025. < Roll Eyes >

c2645sg – 06/10/25 – “Buckle up big boys, get your wallets out for the 250m cash raise, minimum.”
Fiction – Shareholders did not get their “wallets out” for any form of equity cash raise, let alone £250m.
DYOR – As previously stated, how AML raises cash in the future will determine the impact on Private Investors.

Finally, just for fun, how about an AML bankruptcy prediction tracker? As of today, 02/05/26:
64 days since: “Any minute, this could be delisted, or trading halted. Please beware everyone.” - c2645sg - 27/02/26
1,297 days since: “Priced for its 8th bankruptcy now.” - c2645sg - 13/10/22

Same old nonsense, just different days. < Roll Eyes >
