Not a fan of these guys but the article is worth a post. If there is any truth in this, the question of why MT resigned becomes even more bizarre. You put a probable idiot in charge of a company you own 40% off and continue to fund his salary, expenses etc, and allow him to run it into the ground??? All too far fetched, something else going on here... Not sure if this article is complete tosh, but if it is, I would expect some sort of retort from bod.
BOS Global (BOS) is teetering on the brink of insolvency while the company's founder Michael Travia also tries top oust current directors led by serial ****-up merchant Adam Webb. I have now seen letters sent by those very close to the situation which act as a second source for me of the most damning allegations about Webb who should stand down at once and never be allowed to run a public company again.
As a reminder Webb is a man with proven form in lying to investors and using company funds for personal needs like getting an Alfa Romeo as we saw at AIM listed Verdes (VMP) as you can see HERE. After that episode Webb wasa clearly not fit to run a PLC yet he was allowed to do so. One hopes that after the sordid truth about BOS emerges he really will get a life ban from the Aim Casino.
The allegations made against Webb have been passed to Australian regulators ASIC and also to at least one London advisor so it is possible that a formal investigation is already underway. The allegations are of "gross misconduct and illegal behaviour". If BOS goes tits up you can bet there will be an enquiry and advisors cannot say that they were unaware of what Webb got up to.
Let us start with the money. Loss making BOS has been cash constrained for months with a list of unpaid bills as long as your arm. But not all creditors face the same wait to get pad. Webb is earning £6,000 a month as a NED ( which is far too high) and claiming expenses. The first charge is that while other creditors have been told there is no cash to pay them and have been waiting in vain for months and months for payment Webb at al have been paid in full. Are they thus paying themselves while trading while insolvent? Are they treating all creditors equally? Is their determination to get paid in full threatening the business by risking the loss of key suppliers.
In terms of the matter of trading whilst insolvent, I am told by one source " While the company has apparently been unable to pay its debts for some time they have demonstrably NOT taken sufficient steps to stem cash flows and have continued to incur liabilities. "
Then there is the matter of disclosure or rather lack of it. Under AIM rules any changes in the financial position or trading position of a company must, if material, be notified to all investors at once. Not to do so deceives investors as to the true state of play. Yet in a formal complaint, one individual who was made aware of inside information states that the directors (i.e.
