The Financial Trolls: A Call to Arms

A Call to Arms

We published last month a report from KPMG, who were drafted in to examine financial irregularities at Tom Winnifrith's company Rivington Street Holdings plc and the T1ps Fund it managed.

We have independently verified that the document we reproduced is genuine.

The report suggests that Winnifrith might have misled investors.
KPMG were not mandated to complete their investigation.Winnifrith was sacked and the Company was quickly and quietly put into liquidation by its Board - Chaired by Jim Mellon, whose company "bought some of the remaining assets".

If you believe that you have suffered loss as an investor in RHS or T1ps, or you think that credible allegations of wrongdoing should not be covered up you might consider sending the following letter to David Green, Director of the Serious Fraud Office:

Dear Mr Green

There is reason to believe, from compelling evidence at www.financialtrolls.blogspot.co.uk that Tom Winnifrith may have deliberately misledshareholders of Rivington Street Holdings and T1PS Smaller Companies EIS Fund. Further, the matter was not properly concluded and the companies shut down in what looks like it might have been a deliberate a cover-up by the Board.

MrWinnifrith continues as a blogger to play a prominent role in media commentary in the Stock Market and as such I believe it is important for the integrity of markets that this matter is investigated formally and that justice is served. I urge you to do so immediately.

Yours sincerely

Send it to:

How They InterConnect

Simon Cawkwell is a well known and apparently successful bear trader, who has allegedly made £millions by going short on selected PLCs. As such, his opinions count and can affect share values.Over a number of years,Tom Winnifrith and Zak Mir have earned themselves reputations as share tipsters and again their opinions have had an affect on the value of shares in companies upon which they have commented. Mathew Earl was also  alleged to be behind public comment that had damaged share prices. Since around 2010, Ennismore Fund Managementhas consistently set a low target price for particular shares. Gotham City is a more recent player on the scene which has attacked several US companies as well as

· Spanish wireless internet company, Gowex, causing its CEO to admit accounting irregularities and the company to collapse.

· Quindell PLC which has successfully sued Gotham City for defamation.

There is concern that Gotham City is actually a front for one or more of the individuals cited here and/or EFM. Gotham did not attend Court or defend the action brought by Quindell and it is not clear whether they were even properly identified to the Court.

· In 2003, following a series of regulatory breaches, Simon Cawkwell was struck off by the Institute of Chartered Accountants for England and Wales

· In 2000, Anne Cawkwell, (Simon’s wife) was appointed Company Secretary of T1ps.com Ltd on the same day that Winnifrith became a director

· Anne Cawkwell, was Company Secretary of Active IT Ltd simultaneous to Winnifrith being a director, i.e. from 26 May 2006 to 19 May 2010

· Zak Mir and Anne Cawkwell were each shareholders in Winnifrith’s Rivington Street Holdings

· Winnifrith was ousted from Rivington Street Holdings (T1ps.com) following compliance concerns

· There is a strong possibility that Winnifrith has purchased the property at 49 Rivington Street via an Isle of Man company.

· There are extensive links between Cawkwell, Winnifrith, Mir and Miers

· There is a complex network of current and historic domain registrations and ownerships which ultimately identifies Burnbrae Media Ltd, of 4th Floor, 101 Finsbury Pavement, London EC2A 1RS, as the ultimate owner / management point.
