Still not filtered me then!
DL is a hemp grower, not an O&G man.
He can't own that many shares, as a TR-1 is required, or he's being economical with the truth - which of course he's never, never, ever, ever done in the past...........
Remind me why he had to sell up all his Directorships and return to Aus again?
In the meantime, I'll just leave this excerpt from his Wiki entry....
Corporate Governance Related Criticisms
He has been accused of frequently "promoting a company, pushing up the (price of its) shares, then raising cash by placing new shares — and (thus) diluting the holdings of the early investors",[14] described as "a familiar tale with most companies he promotes".[15] His defence has been that "You can’t build a business on bottle tops.".[16] Furthermore, he has argued that it's not accurate to claim that "all his ventures have turned sour".[17] Although finance commentators have noted that most of the "hundreds" of companies he has been involved in, and "stock promoted" for, have failed to generate any successful shareholder returns.[18]
In 2009 he was one of a group of claimants, claiming that he had been libelled when an investment publication in South Africa had described the group of executives of one of Lenigas' ventures as "cynically and greedily indulged in self-enrichment at the expense of, and contrary to the interests of, shareholders."[19] The High Court of Justice of the United Kingdom rejected Lenigas', and the other claimants' libel claim, and found in favour of the publisher.[20]

Right, time for breakfast.
And yes, I'm not in the UK at the moment - you were probably so self absorbed posting your own BS to notice that I disappeared for a couple of weeks. That was because we ran into problems on the Rank WildCat Exploration Well we are drilling, and I had to fly out and lend an hand.
But don't worry, I'll be back around the 18th :)
