...Campos, even likened it to "a casino." But in the first eight months of this year, only 85 companies listed on AIM, compared with 201 in the same period a year ago - and almost twice as many have dropped off it.

Yet he viewed Rajaram as "an emotionally unstable person for as long as I've known him. He's always been a bit flamboyant, reckless." Their partnership didn't last a year.
