He's done a far worse job here than any other CEO I can recall on AIM. Just let that sink in for a moment. ..
Absolutely shameless and he should be made to refund his salary to mental health charities, seriously. I have a close friend who has been hit very hard by all of this, and to be honest I've been having to stick my head in the sand re my own heavy losses here too.
I resent both Lumsden and myself (for having believed in him) in equal measure.
I now need a miracle in my other main holdings to recover, while retirement has now become impossible. This felt like investing but it was in fact gambling, pure and simple. And I backed a horse trained by an arrogant and inept trainer who STILL lacks the humility to even acknowledge the devastating effect of his personal failure on the PIs he had so enthusiastically convinced to come along for the 'ride'.
I sincerely hope nobody else here was as financially ruined by Motif as my friend and I, and may it act as a cautionary tale for all. Like many, I perceived Motif to be a golden ticket, and coupled with my desperation to escape a job I no longer enjoyed, I broke my own strategy by risking way too much capital in a binary play. Never again, if indeed there ever is an 'again'.
Time to let go. Regret, self-loathing and bitterness is not what I set out to accomplish here!
