We would love to hear your thoughts about our site and services, please take our survey here.
I suspect that Burton was almost as involved in the scam as much as GB. He also took dodgy unearned shares in Modern Water. However, we do not have evidence of other dodgy dealings for NB as we do for GB eg employing his wife without declaring it properly, getting the company to buy his shares (apparently DRG had no liquidity issues!!!).
If one takes the view that he did not participate, which seems unlikely, then the alternative was that he did not spot the fraudster. That would be quite astonishing given how obvious the con was.
Either way, he has to go as should the entire BoDs of DVRG and MSYS. They need to clear out the cesspit.
Indeed the microsaic/modern water/deepverge crooks are at it again. If you want to lose all your money then put it into their next scam.
Looks like the next con is happening. I find it difficult to believe that the DVRG management team are transferring all the DVRG technology which has been developed at the costs of 10s £m at a token amount. Absolutely shocking.
This company has raised millions - where has all the money gone? GBs missus?
Why isn’t this company being investigated by the fraud police?
It does indeed seem as if MSYS are buying the assets of MW.
Could this get anymore bonkers!!??
No doubt that they will pick up the assets for nothing, leaving all the liabilities behind for the shareholders. As the management team are pretty much the same it is an internal transfer which, no doubt, the MSYS BoD will do very well from. I suspect that the merry go round will continue.
There are 2 big losers. The PIs and staff.
It really is shocking.
Without the regulators or the law having a real go at GB and the rest of the DVRG board I fear that GB will be on his next scam shortly. His behavious has been an absolute disgrace and I am mystified that he has not yet been banned as a director.
Turner Poop have also been a disgrace. Their so called research with completely meaningless SP expectations seems designed just to act to lubricate all the dodgy shares that they received.
Perhaps the most shocking though are all the GB fanboyz who kept ramping the stock when it was clear to anyone with even half a brain that the trapdoor was getting ever closer. It is a shame that the cretin Chesh, who was a self confessed financial illiterate as well as being illiterate, is noticeable by his absence. What a moron.
LTB - good spot on the fine. Perhaps this is the start of the authorities taking a closer look at GB. It is clear that he had a massive conflict of interest as a director of both DVRG and MSYS. As a result the MSYS shareholders have been royally sh@fted. I very much hope that after his antics with Alltracel, Modern Water, DVRG and MSYS that the authorities undertake a proper review. His actions have costs investors millions and all staff have no lost their jobs. All done to one person. Shocking.
Disappointing that the other directors have not been cleared out as they have indeed been napping as LTB says.
Unfortunately it looks as if current shareholders will end up with virtually nothing. I would have hoped that the company would offer current shareholders the same deal as new shareholders given the likely level of dilution. But it seems not.
Shocking to see that Turner Poop are still involved as they are also responsible for the shambles.
The tragic thing here is the employees who have been royally sh@fted by GB and his mates. GB has done this three times now. Firstly with Modern Water where employees got no compensation and contractual payments were not made. I suspect that DVRG maybe similar and possibly MSYS.
These employees provided highly accurate posts on the DVRG and other boards yet they got shouted down by GBs paid rampers. These are the people who we should feel really sorry for, not those who did not to heed the numerous warnings.
Sol - Far from being a stuck record I am simply answering your questions and responding to your questions.
Why I should do all the work for you is a mystery. I have previously set out in detail while GB and his merry band are conmen and have advised against investing. If you were foolish enough to invest then that is down to you.
If ithe advice was wasted on you then I suggest that before you do not make any further investments until you take the time to learn some financial and due diligence skills. Some of your comments demonstrate an astonishing lack of knowledge about some of the basics of company law and financial accounting. You need to grow up and take responsibility for your own mistakes.
Yankee and I have done all we can to steer you away yet you continue to rant and criticise.
For the avoidance of doubt, by far the most likely outcome here is that you will get nothing back. The upside is that you might get squeezed down and end up with 5% of what you had. The chances of the later are remote. You need to set your expectations appropriately. You have been well and truly been done by an Irish plumber.
Sol - what a bizarre comment! I have been warning for years about GBs behaviour. If you took a moment to go through my posting history then that will be very obvious. I called him out first and have consistently done so.
Sol - GB is most certainly not in the same position as the rest of us. The facts are that through his catastrophic management of Modern Water, DVRG and MSYS he and his wife have taken out £tens of thousands. Shortly before DVRG collapsed GB received a big chunk of cash from DVRG in return for some shares. Mrs GB was paid for activities that were far from clear and none of this was declared properly at the time. GB is an old fashioned conman who has been ripping off PIs and companies for years.
According to the Irish press, his only qualification is as a plumber.
PIs in DVRG and MSYS paid for our shares. He received virtually all of his shares whilst at the same time scamming the companies and enriching himself and family in the process. No need to feel sorry for GB he has done very well out of this to date and no doubt he will make more in the future. I suspect that there has already been a deal agreed whereby he and the management/BoD will skim off the best bits of MSYS and DVRG, probably as part of a prepack deal when the receivers are called in.
The conmen and crooks have done it before and will no doubt try and do it again. It is sad that so many PIs were sucked in by the rampers, no doubt many of them paid. Tragic that the rampers are too scared to show their faces on this board. We really need that ignoramus Chesh and his merry band of to show up here and apologise for getting this so wrong. Shocking that anyone who pointed out the clear and obvious fraud by the management team got shouted down.
The other important thing is that everyone is warned about the crook Gerald Brandon who should be never allowed near any public market ever again. I fear that he will try. He has done it with Alltracel, Modern Water and now DVRG. No more.
The behaviour of the rampers was shocking. As you suggest I suspect that many of them were paid by the company or were company staff.
Hardly surprising that we have not heard from them but it would be interesting to hear the self confessed financial illiterate Chesh’s view? Come in Chesh give us some of your wisdom?
It does seem quite surreal that Ratty, Chesh and their merry band of GB lovers, still do not seem to appreciate that they have been a victim of a long con. There were plenty of people who pointed this out to them in the last couple of years but it seems that they still cannot believe it.
Many insiders from the company spilled the beans and told them what was REALLY going on but they chose not to listen. I also pointed out many warning signs.
He is a conman. Simple. He has done it before and will probably try it again. Maybe he will find more credulous fanboyz to support him and bring in more gullible punters.
This is what I posted previously. The modus operandi looks remarkably similar. a lot of the team are the same.

Chris – As you do not seem to have done any proper research on our CEO I thought that it might be helpful if I gave you some assistance.
I think that would be interesting and illuminating to look at Alltracel as it is indeed supposed to be a ‘success’. It seems as if GB left many Alltracel PIs extremely unhappy when the company was sold to a US based company. It would seem that there were many things that PIs were extremely unhappy about including special deals for management, dodgy shareholder votes, High Court cases, cronyism, complaints about a lack of transparency and disputes about the takeover. By all the accounts of the PIs there was clearly some very dodgy dealing.
Astonishingly, before the deal was agreed Alltracel management agreed to receive shares and options in the acquirer giving them a real conflict of interest. Incidentally I understand that Helium Fund were also involved in Alltracel. What a coincidence.
You might want to take a look below, these are all comments from another BB or the Irish Times. It is worth taking a look at the BB starting from about 8 pages in. There is not a single PI who has any time for the Alltracel BoD/management and they were all appalled by their treatment and the side deals that management got.
‘it cost us approx £65m to get Alltracel into a condition where the Independent Directors have agreed to sell out our company for £20.8m!’
‘So our management is supporting a minus 300% ROI?’
‘the more the old Altracell shareholders were stuffed the more management will be paid in future. Not exactly an incentive to get the best price is it?’
‘it will prove a phyric victory for a number of the individuals involved in shafting the shareholders. Judas lives and breathes within Alltracel House !’
‘I would not be taking care of myself or my family if I did not seriously question whether the take-over has been handled with the complete integrity it deserves.’
‘its been nice chating on here shame about the stab in the back ending,’
‘enjoyed reading the board and posting - I just hope it all ends in tears for the grubby little conmen associated with Alltracel (past and present).’
‘i ended up with little shares, but lost a lot of money on Alltracel. Very bitter about the management and the way we've been let down, but enjoyed the contributions to this board.’
‘Good luck to all.................. execpt those irish connmen, i hope the yanks swindle them as they have swindled us,’
‘Alltracel was founded by Gerard Brandon, a former plumber, in 1996.’
I cannot comment on the accuracy of these comments but it does make one pause for thought.
Chris - you might want to consider these comments when you say what a great record the DVRG management team have, GB is not the only indivi
As I have said previously the Irish plumber has done this before with Alltracel. I suspect that he will do it again with MSYS.
He has completely abused the market whilst artificially inflating the SP with spurious turnover figures and effectively selling shares.
It really is difficult to see why the police are not involved.
Was there actually an RNS saying that they would delist? Surely that is a requirement.
Havent there been some posts deleted?
Shave - it is reasonably obvious that whitecells is an employee, and is one of several employees who have very helpfully set out what is actually going on with the company. As an employee I very much doubt that whitecells has a moral or legal obligation to report inaccurate RNS's.
Indeed - thanks to AC.
Interestingly when you Google - Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity REI TEX (which is the name of the project, together with DeepVerge you get no hits other than DVRG publicity. It seems incredibly unlikely that none of the other participants in a project would not mention this.
It is looking increasingly as this is a long con, a tissue of lies by a fraudster. We already know that he and his missus skimmed money from DVRG and it is looking increasingly as if he was involved in other nefarious activities.
AC - thank you for this. Your comments seem very credible. There appear to have been a number of employee or ex-employee posts on this BB over the last 12 months or so. Most of them have been much more accurate and relevant than the idiot ravings of Ratty, Chesh and other paid rampers.
It certainly looks as if GB is up to his old tricks from Alltracel, with PIs getting sh3fted yet again. If only he had stayed as a plumber we would all be better off.
