The RS report is now in the public domain so is it being included on the emails to potential bidders?
Might be one for the legal eagles amongst us but can you distribute a report already in the public domain?
My instinct says yes as we didn't release initially and it belongs to every one of us. We paid for it.
Real or not, authentification would not affect COPL's competitive advantage as it's distribution has now taken place. If real, it's now out there, if not then no harm done to COPL.
It would be materially informative to any compensation claim made by the CAG so Ryder Scott could be subpoenaed to authenticate in Court.
RMBInvest - did you or other CAG members manage to download a copy before the link expired? Can send via email if not.
Thanks Lloydy, I realise that but in lieu of any tangible offering from COPL i'll work on the assumption this is what Arthur has been hiding from us.
If he wants to release the genuine report himself he can, but he won't.
My gut says somebody in the know thinks Arthur needs exposing, he's crossed too many for at least 1 not to turn on him. If it's fake, so be it. What if it's not?
Jiving - I get that and I'm in no way taking the blame away from Arthur, its all on him, proved by his ongoing silent Presidency of COPLA.
I do however want all the spivs and conmen associated with downfall of COPL to be accountable for their part. On that, TW's links to Peterhouse and Milton Capital shouldn't be overlooked.
Milton Capital had an agenda, set in motion a while back. They currently have 2 former COPL directors out of the 4 running it and Dawson had a company with a 3rd. Malcolm Burne was a director at Peterhouse formerly Rivington Street set up by TW.
If Milton were targeting COPL for their own ends, which being a SPAC with 2 former COPL directors and business ties to a 3rd suggests they could have been, then having TW as a mouth piece to do a public hachet job on COPL would be convenient to say the least. It'd certainly cast doubt for any potential lenders, one's specialising in RBL perhaps.
Alternatively, if you can link Milton and Peterhouse to Anavio and Gaffney then the SP destruction via shorting doesn't start and finish with COPL insiders, which Anavio were, but extends to the above mentioned. They would be doing it for a fee or a cut, not the main prize, so a bit of pressure on the right people might turn the tide and expose what really went on.
Big questions for me, what was Milton's target last year if it wasn't COPL? Why all the share issuances when they didn't have any assets?
A point to note from Milton press release Oct 23 - Richard Mays, "..... is VP Business Development and General Counsel of COPL." A role he HAS (not had) held since 2014. That was Oct 23, he resigned as director 2018 but was still on the COPL inside like so many others.
Indeed, his association with Farmer Dawson would have been a good source of info on COPL given his connections down at Fields Farm.
A lot of Oil & Gas goings on in that small corner of Cheshire, conveniently just a 16 mile drive to TW's own farm. I'd say they couldn't possibly know each other but then I remembered Malcolm Burne so they probably do. Small world.
Off topic but does anyone know what happened to Robert J. Chenery, Chair of the Reserves Committee, maybe he'd like a subpoena for the upcoming class action hearing? Must have some useful info given his position.
Jiving - agreed, he's a slippery bug.ger but two things can be true at the same time. Arthur lies, yes we know, and instigated COPL's downfall. TW makes a living (of sorts) by negatively jumping all over stocks he is most likely shorting. Not illegal, unless you're given an inside track, but immoral in my opinion. Two games at play, same motive, greed.
I believe we were attacked internally and externally. Arthur for the former, Milton for the latter, with TW's help? Maybe. He certainly knows all the players surrounding Milton and the connections are easy to find.
Shouston - in answer to your post yesterday, Mobil 1943. COPL mention this in the press release from Jan 23, look how far we've fallen since then. Criminal.

And the trading pattern was mentioned in May 23, meeting with Arthur Millholland and the COPL SAS.
My saved link isn't working for me this morning but type this into Google and it will pop up:
"Transcript of a meeting between the Senior Leadership Team of Canadian Overseas Petroleum Limited"
Mentioned 5% box trading pattern needing people on both sides. For my money that implicated the MM on the bid as well.
Arthur said the data was pulled apart by some guys in India and, crucially, that he had reported it to the FCA. True or not, that's what he said.
Also said Tom Winnifrith had something to do with it. Tom Winnifrith implicated in shorting the stock. Tom Winnifrith, his name just keeps popping up doesn't it. Tom Winnifrith.
Last time Tom Winnifrith got a mention on here the trolls went into overdrive to push his name off the agenda, lets see if it happens again.
Jo80 - not by me, I just made an error whilst scanning through another dumper truck load of filings. Act in haste and all that.
Stas - you've rightly highlighted it was Balanced Energy. But, one for the conspiracy theorists, did you notice who bought them?
XDI Energy. Means nothing to me but then noticed their headquarters is on the same road as ours, again.
350m's away to be exact. So on the same 550m stretch of tarmac we have COPL HQ, the purchaser in the first example used in our filings to the Courts XDI Energy, and the old office of Judge Sidnell partner at Rose LLP.
A lot happens on one road in Canada, 5 Ave SW Calgary.
Coincidence, yes probably but I've learnt to look out for these over the years.
page 56 - damaged unit repair costs.
so they've got a damaged coiled tubing unit never mentioned in operational updates. is this the cover they're using for why it all went wrong?
utter ******, they've had £££m's in funding in the last 12 months and didn't buy the ngl so could have repaired or replaced this already.
Medjed - i'm fairly certain Anavio don't give monkeys about their shareholding now as they cleaned up on the shorts over the last 12+ months.
Apologies if covered already but, has anyone looked into JBER's role in facilitating the trades. They clearly controlled the price action, never allowing the bid to rise apart from on specific occasions presumably after a short was closed.
I remember someone noticing patterns in JBER's trading behaviour a while back. Now we have Anavio's trades and dates I'm wondering if it's possible to historically trace and match these against JBER's holding pattern and ocassional spikes in the bid.
If JBER were using Anavio's shares to suppress the market price whilst Anavio were shorting (naked or otherwise) is that insider trading?
Stas - I also note the rest of his statement,
".....the company is more than confident in reiterating that we delivered on our 2021 objectives, and are well positioned to achieve our forthcoming plan in 2022."
You certainly were Arthur, Bondholders in position April 22 placed by Tennyson and Hannam & Partners, linked directly to Ryan Gaffney CFO and the so to be Chairman Tom Richardson.
“In addition, you should not discount our recent deep oil discovery which COPL will fully capitalize on as we are confident in our assessments. Again, 2021 has been a transformative year for the company and we look to the future with renewed confidence."
So Arthur, why are you now discounting the deep oil discovery?
There's no escape from his own words. Lying then or lying now. Where's the 993 million barrels gone Arthur?
TIA1 - 20:44 last night, the spiders web keeps growing.
Interesting links between Ryan Gaffney and Andrew Chubb. Both sat at the same desk at Canaccord Adams 2009.
Andrew Chubb is a partner at Hannam and Partners, COPL's Advisors/Joint Brokers. Or should I say former as they've not been named on the RNA releases since Jan 30th. When did Gaffney leave again?
Andrew Chubb is also a Director/Board member and shareholder at Cora Gold Ltd. Cora now have a jam tomorrow scenario unfolding, sounds familiar, with the CEO being overly positive whilst racking up debts via Convertible Loan Notes.
Finwittrader - would that be Tom Winnifrith?
The same Tom Winnifrith named by Arthur Millholland as having some involvement in shorting COPL in the May 23 meeting with the shareholders group.

The same meeting were Arthur Millholland said he had contacted the FCA regarding suspicious trading patterns in COPL shares.
