Well folks, my work here is done as Barclays has now converted my 0.5 million shares to cash in my account.
It's been an eventful and educational 5 months following my first emotionally inspired venture into the wicked world of stock market investments, and, I'm not sure I'll do it again even though I was one of the lucky ones that came out on top.
So many good people invested in good faith and were severely let down by those manipulative market makers and promisers of profit, but that is the nature of the beast apparently.
Hopefully those that did lose out will not lose hope and will be able to put it behind them and go on to live a happier life and not beat themselves up over something that has also affected many others.
Good luck to all and if you play on then don't play with more than you can emotionally afford to lose.
Bbarzut,
Just hang fire and it should be automatically carried out for you in the next 10 days.
Ooops! Red face time.
Apologies, I totally misread my statement from Barclays, NOTHING has yet been paid to me from them.
Once again, sorry.
....have now paid the shares value into my account.
The end.
Let It Go
by Idina Menzel
The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation
And it looks like I'm the queen
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I've tried
Don't let them in, don't let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know
Well, now they know
Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door
I don't care what they're going to say
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway
Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door
Let it go (go, go, go go, go go, go go, go, go, go go)
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
It's funny how some distance makes…
I would expect payment before or after the end of the month.

"The Financial Conduct Authority (the FCA) requires that confirmation of the cancellation of admission of shares to listing on the premium listing segment of the Official List and to trading on the Main Market must be given before 3.00 p.m. on the last day of trading in those shares. The order sanctioning the Scheme was made after 3.00 p.m. today and, as a result, insufficient time remained to confirm to the FCA that cancellation and de-listing of Sirius' Shares should take place on 16 March 2020.
Sirius confirms that, as expected, the last day for dealings in, and for registration of transfers of, and disablement of CREST for, Sirius Shares will be today, 13 March 2020; and, as also expected, the Scheme Record Time will be 6.30 p.m. (London time) today, 13 March 2020. Scheme Shareholders on Sirius's register of members at the Scheme Record Time will, upon the Scheme becoming effective, be entitled to receive 5.50 pence in cash for each Sirius Share.
The Scheme will become effective upon the delivery of a copy of the Court Order to the Registrar of Companies, which is expected to occur on 17 March 2020.
It is expected that the listing of Sirius Shares on the Official List and the admission to trading of Sirius Shares on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market for listed securities will each be cancelled and the Sirius ADR program will be terminated, with effect from 8.00 a.m. (London time) on 17 March 2020."

Only £75 here.
I think I first started following this board around the same time as IBAB and I always thought his posts were well considered, factual and without malice but I noted that they were appearing more and more frequently as time went by which seemed to me to be quite an addictive trait. He took a lot of stick from some posters for having alternative views and maybe this is the attention he longed for, who knows! He entertained some and educated others.
That's the problem with this interweb thing, anybody can be anybody (and I don't mean I am he) and you must take everything you read with a hefty pinch of Polyhalite!
Good luck to all those that were robbed in this enterprise, it leaves a nasty aftertaste in any profit.
When will LSE be putting the bullet in this bulletin board?
My understanding is if your holding is with Barclays then just do nothing and in April your account will be credited with the amount outstanding for your shares at 05.5p per share and no charges for selling will apply, if you want your cash sooner, then just sell at the current rate and with any usual selling charge.
What has happened to IBAB? I've not been following of late.
