How do you explain that Broker Code 098 (also referred to as a Broker ID in some contexts - that functions as a participant identifier within the CREST Courier and Sorting Service) is presently not assigned to ANY company. Here is today's most up-to-date list: https://docs.londonstockexchange.com/website/Outgoing/MemberFirmCodes.xls
While 098 used to be assigned to RBC Europe Limited at one time and then finnCap Ltd at another time, it is presently not assigned to ANY company.
In fact furthermore, CREST does support processes for removing (deleting) securities positions or entries pursuant to court orders (e.g., in cases of insolvency, winding-up, rectification of the register, or enforcement actions). These are handled through specific instruction types, messages (e.g., certain deletion or cancellation messages), or manual interventions coordinated with EUI, registrars, and legal teams. CREST uses structured messaging with defined fields for transaction type, reason codes, participant IDs, and settlement instructions. Participant IDs (like 098) are distinct from any settlement-layer suffixes or special processing codes. Mixing a Broker ID into a settlement-layer suffix for deletions/ reconciliations would be operationally confusing and contrary to how the system separates participant identification from transaction processing logic.
Why did the LSE conduct a ASR test yesterday you ask? Because routine annual ASR maintenance of the LSE on a Saturday around now is completely normal. In fact, here is the test history from the last 5 years: Saturday, 28 March 2026 Saturday, 29 March 2025 Saturday, 3 February 2024 Saturday, 4 February 2023 Saturday, 5 February 2022
So, you found nothing... literally nothing! You found a test date that was 100% identical last year and very very similar for the 3 years before that. Correlation does not equal causation! Quit with the imaginary dot connecting. Wasn't it just ~4-5 weeks ago that you were claiming another such LSE maintenance event was definitely linked to NWBO and that the very next day we should see your imaginary $1.71 flash up... more BS... more can kicking... more utter feckin nonsense!
