Colin Bell quits as CEO of HSBC Bank plc...... And all because of Company Law compliance failures at Quantexa. Just goes to show.


Hot off the presses:

To have brought down the CEO of one of the world's biggest banks because of his sheer stupidity, incompetence and arrogance over simple regulatory complaince failures of a 2-bit investment truly beggars belief.  

Care to see my letter to the Group Company Secretary some weeks ago pointing out that they couldn't possibly appoint a serial offender as Group CEO?

Will the Government of Singapore now get a grip on things and rectify all Quantexa's filings and start to be honest?

And now The Association of Investment Companies is guilty of breaches of The Companies Act ...... no surprise there then.

"DYOR"..............With 12% of their members being VCTs ("Voracious Crooks & Thieves") it should come as no surprise that any entity that appoints Will Fraser-Allen or Patrick Reeve as a Director is incapable of complying with Company Law Compliance - if they can't even get their own VCT investments to comply, why would they get their Association to do so? Lot's more to come....

[UPDATE 03.09.25] Can things get even worse for UK plc that is already bust?

 Oh yes. The incompetence of the Regulators - ICAEW, SRA and FCA knows no bounds. And that is not my opinion:  https://taxpolicy.org.uk/2025/09/02/axiom-ince-a-64m-failure-a-4300-penalty/ Do follow the replies to Dan's blog from so many ICAEW "disgusted of Tunbridge Wells" members who forget that ICAEW states it exists to "protect the shiny badge".  And then ask yourselves whether the Department of Trade (or whatever it calls itself these days!) should be axing its staff (  https://www.politico.eu/article/uk-government-trade-department-20-percent-workforce-cut/ ) when it really needs to double the headcount in Cardiff which would be self financing.  ............................................ [UPDATE 03.09.25] I forgot the link to Dan's weekly list of miscreants (PLCs only!) some of whom are FCA authorised. NB Companies House states that fines for late filing can't be raised until accounts are actually filed - you really couldn't make that up. Welco...

UPDATE 15 JULY [Expletive deleted] ...........

  UPDATE 15 JULY. Do read yet another corrective filing today. Only 2 more to do.  A nyone else looking at the ARR per employee against the industry stats? Not promising for a double unicorn valuation.  .............................................  Is there anyone at Quantexa who is even half competent at adding up? Certainly not Ed Lascelles the Albion appointed Director. Yet another try at getting things right filed this morning - and this where the Secretary of State has a "controlling" stake and runs Companies House and all Company Investigations.  What hope is there for the UK unless Real rather than Artificial replaces the "Intelligence" at Quantexa and the Department of Business and Trade? Anyone care to write to the SEC and tell them that Richard Seewald, Director of Quantexa, is still lying through his teeth even though he has £gazillions of UK taxpayer money given to him by the Secretary of State?  Well at least they no longer say that the Unp...
