Looks like I took too long to search and edit. Revised post below.
I had a few thousand in this and obviously hasn't gone well. I remember if being mentioned previously there was a group you could sell your shares to and get a receipt for tax purposes to write this off. Does anyone have this information handy or a link to the relevant post? Thanks in advance, as I just wanted to get this sorted and to use the loss.
