Let's get this guy. If enough of us report him, he will face the consequences of lying, cheating, stealing. He is actually worse than Labcoin who at least had the courtesy to make getting scammed entertaining.

Couple links to get the ball rolling:
http://www.sec.gov/complaint/select.shtml
 https://denebleo.sec.gov/TCRExternal/questionaire.xhtml

Unregistered securities, theft of our shares, manipulation of stock price, insider trading, there are a dozen ways we can get this fatty in trouble.

This troll thread will die like all the others.  Give up loser.

Here's a great link to start the quest.

The US has Judge Judy, the UK has....

Oh boy, you sure know how to wins friends in the 'unregistered securities' section of Bitcointalk!   LMAO!!   ;D

Why not report everyone?!!  ???

You are making a comedy of yourself, if you want to get Ken for unregistered securities, are you not getting yourself?

This action only results in the loss of everything we own. You are in fact threatening my wealth. I recommend you stop this action, you likely own a small handful of shares but are putting large holders at risk with this idea of yours.

Please have some respect and stop. Please delete this thread.

It is not illegal to BUY unregistered securities, just like getting robbed is not illegal.  Only robbing is illegal, you're OK.

That said...

Reaction when the court learns you invested in "...a virtual identity totally owned by the Active Mining Corporation (Belize) that represents both itself and its profits."

I would file a complaint if I was a shareholder but sadly all I can do is sit back and laugh as Kenny boy keeps digging himself a deeper hole.

The SEC already investigated most of the listed securities including ACtM months ago around the time of the BF close-down. Remember that? Yes the SEC closed BF and BTC-TC. They also contacted atleast one ACtM shareholder at that time to get their general view of the company.

So they already have Ken's full details and have been in touch with him. That's why he acts on legal advice now. That's why he spent a good deal of time sorting out the legalities of going onto CT.

I wouldn't try to stop anyone if they thought they wanted to complain but don't expect too much to come of it. Infact by the time you hear anything back ACtM will be putting chips on boards so it's kind of a waste of time.

Nah.  Ken's playing this by ear.  Experimenting, as is clearly seen from this candid footage:
http://s2.postimg.org/rrq3pph0p/daffyportal.gif

Anyone that thinks getting the SEC involved is a good idea also thinks getting 1 satoshi per share in return is a good idea.

you mean like he was supposed to in December?

if you know anything about law enforcement and regulatory compliance, the authorities rarely close investigations.
they will come for Ken IF and WHEN they have sufficient evidence to gain a successful prosecution.

at the end of the day.. all it boils down to is.. "was Ken acting in good faith when he took peoples money."

if a company fails because of sheer incompetence then there really isn't much of a case against him..
on the other hand, if it can be proven that he had no intention of delivering on his promises or being compliant with regulations then he will go down just like
DPR, Mr Shrek and Mr Shavers...

IMO at the moment he walks a very fine line because while he misses key deadlines and hasn't delivered any value for his investors he continues to brag about what he will achieve...
so he is starting to sound more like Bernie Madoff and Trendon shavers than simply a failed business man..

I don't doubt investigations are left open. The point I was making was they investigated well after completion of the IPO and after the eASIC deal. Nothing has changed in those terms other than Ken has announced another significant line of the business (full custom 55nm chip). So if they were happy 3-4months ago I'm sure they are happy now.

If Ken was intending to create a sham business he wouldn't have bothered getting the eASIC deal. All IPO money was raised before that announcement and he has raised not a single cent more since then other than recently using lien to confiscate and sell Ukyo's shares for 106BTC to recover the stolen company money.

If Ken was intending to create a sham business he wouldn't have announced the latest 55nm deal with a contract with UMC. Do you realise how much more explaining and paper-chasing that creates on his part should this supposed sham business fold to try to explain away this latest aspect of the business which involves another global partner?!

I could go on and on. Nothing adds up to support this sham business idea. There is no evidence you offer other than 'missed deadlines'. There has only been one missed deadline and that was the original 28nm easic chip. Ken has publicly stated that has been upgraded after the delay to a FULL CUSTOM eAISC chip. eASIC have not denied this. UMC has not denied their contract with ACtM. Your argument has no substance and no corroborative evidence.

You aren't tackling any of my points other than to say 'what you say is wrong'. Well you could try saying why you think I'm wrong. Want to try??

I know if might be difficult for you to explain why a 'scammer' who has already raised all the funds they ever will would then spend significant sums of money on a UMC production run - a line of the business not even mentioned during the IPO fund raising stage. A line of business that didn't need to be created to complete this 'scam'.

You are a known blackmailer on this forum and Troll for hire - you have the least credibility possible. For you to be taking this line is really really suspicious and I think this is just you fulfilling your threat to smear any company that does not pay your blackmail money.

So you refuse to say why you think I'm wrong or to tackle the points about the business developments initiated by Ken after IPO funds were all raised.

(By posting that link you are trying to steer this away from you and onto another Troll 'crumbs'. But you made the blackmail threats, no-one else will take the consequences of that. Only you.)

I'll give it a shot.

eAsic deal was used as bait and rationale for the *second IPO*.  Yes, there were two.  Two IPOs.  Lol.  Some balk at the notion of "second IPO".  They get unnerved by self-contradictory statements.  But not you.  That's what makes you such a boss Active Miner.

Anyhow, eAsic press release bought Ken about half a year's worth of fartin' through silk.  Half a year is a sizable chunk of time for a man of his age and social standing.

Thinking that LEO roll the party van according to your schedule is absurd.  Ken's guaranteed a speedy trial, not a speedy prosecution.  Cases like Ken's are on the back burner, as they should be.  He's on the hook, they'll reel him in if/when they want him.  There's thousands of pages worth of evidence on this forum alone.  Talk about paper trail!

The absurdities of Active Mining and Ken, its illiterate CEO, have been already discussed at length -- over a thousand pages in just the "official" threads.  Consider re-reading those.

I agree with George Costanza just look at  LABCOIN for a textbook example of a well orchestrated SCAM and then compare how it looks strikingly similar to ACTIVEMINING.
even companies like BASIC-MINING which had legitimate hardware and paid out regular dividends turned out to be a SCAM..

its so easy to run off with everyone's money when its BTC and even if the authorities catch you they cant always get back the money... so even after 20 yrs in jail a scammer could come out a rich man...

sad but true... many of the BTC funded companies listed on BTC stock exchanges have turned out to be SCAMs.
It really is only a matter of time before the authorities step in and clean out the garbage...

unless ken delivers soon his days are numbered.. I just hope people are keeping track of his movements and watching the funds closely.

What makes you think they're happy? Didnt it take them a year to charge Trendon Shavers? Quite a simple case by comparison.

@Puppet:  Ken is now claiming he's under investigation by his state's securities board :)  That's his excuse de jure du jour for not letting his "shareholders" trade.  

Edit:  In Ken's own words (unable to directly quote locked topic, follow link)  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=297503.msg5110776#msg5110776 

I am posting one number of Kens SSN every 1 hour until my entire 7 BTC refund for purchase on VMC is returned to this address

scum bags like you and your criminal family need to be removed from the BTC community 1 by 1

Next 2 digits for 1 BTC to the address and PM with TX ID

Black mail much? I dare a troll to explain to me how this VPN forum is usable in a court of law cause your an idiot

Samatha and Micah info is next stay tuned. 

50

Just to let you know 502,

That by posting this info if any credit fraud is perpetrated on Kens credit file and they can link it back to you, then you will be on the hook just the same as the ones who commited the ID Theft.

What I am realizing more and more is that to get justice as it pertains to virtual currencies, guerrila action is required.
I won't define guerilla action, but I certainly cannot blame individuals for feeling compelled to resort to measures such as posting SIN numbers.

I've been following Active Mining closely since its inception and anyone who stands up for that company is faithfully blinded, or in on it.  

I personally have not invested in the company, but I know some people who have and they are simply hopeless.  Since "Ken"'s company was pulled from BitFunder (I think that's where it was listed, correct me if I'm wrong), only diversions and veils have been offered by the company.

Something as simple as confirming one's ownership of shares is denied.  This is a basic share-holders right (to know their shares are legitimate shares!) and he has breached that.

When I was a lurker, I saw one fellow, I think Volcanic something or other, post here with some serious dox.  Then he left.  Maybe he was threatened, I have no way of knowing.

There is shady **** going on under the surface of this company.

That video is quite telling. Whoever that is being interviewed has no clue of what he speaks. That was force fed. Someone who has been mining since 2009 would know the difference between mh/s and gh/s.

LOL that is Funny to Say that i am just a Puppet account,


And a few people have met Ken and a few people have met me and can tell you that i am a real person Living in a whole different state then ken

So put that in your pipe and smoke that crack some more

What's the context here?  Are you saying Active Mining is a legitimate mining business that will eventually satisfy its share-holders?

Yep Just wait the 3 weeks when kens said the Big news is coming then

ah kenny boy.. at best you are grossly incompetent and at worst you are a fraudster... remind you of anyone in the news lately?
mr Karpeles perhaps?

the kind of fools who invest in activemining are the same kind of fools who held their money in Mt Gox... with endless red flags and yet still, blinded by greed, ignorance or stubbornness, they choose not to heed the warnings.

Since ActMining's inception, it has been a waiting game. 

I don't think you're Ken, I think you might be a guy who got in too deep and is now hopelessly faithful.  Funny how those two go together.
Either way, Active Mining, in my eyes, is vapourware.  Pure and simple.

Actually I own no shares of Active Mining
I am not ken
Also I live in Florida No where close to the same state as ken.

Because i have never yelled and Screamed at ken and have always shown him respect when i have talked to him, no to mention when i had my site i approached ken in a professional manner and interviewed him and his company and ken respected that so ken actually talks to me for those reasons.

Great, so we have that in common.  Nothing invested in the company.

But see we deviate in this regard.  I let the actions of a company dictate how I perceive them.  You seem to think that because Ken can speak professionally (what an elusive trait! (please sense the sarcasm)), that logically, his company must therefore be as well.  Here is where your logic flawed my friend.

Yelling and screaming gets people no where, but nothing tangible after countless millions are invested into a mining company speaks louder than a professional voice ever can.

 ;)

I'm surprised no one is charging admission.  Isn't that how sideshows usually make money?

You have zero ground to stand on Samantha, unfortunately for you I have communications from you directly reporting that VMC care of you will be refunding my money, which unfortunately moves the charges I have filed against all 5 of you to include punitive damages since it was stated that refund was intended and never delivered, Ken has you Micah & Gerald all named as employees directly.  I would love to see some legal action regarding this forum so we can nail Ken Slaughter to the wall along with your entire criminal family.  By all means have let's have communications in this forum subpoenaed by the district attorney and open a whole new can of woop ass on the multimillion dollar scam KEN SLAUGHTER UNDER THE VIRTUAL  MINING CORPORATION  NAME that is being ran here breaking federal law will not end well for anyone involved especially those who had direct knowledge and intent to defraud including this new pack of lies that you are not involved.  Please have Ken give me a call to discuss or would you like your Personal address on 564th disclosed so everyone can come get there money from you directly.  Is Ken in Florida? Whos name is the bank of america account in? The Bebout family will hear from us next. Your baby is ugly! holla... to be continued I'm sure. 
   

Ohh You mean just like you Claim to Be the Real Det. SCOTT CARNES which i have already spoken to the real scott carnes who is a officer, and who has been made aware that you are using his identity and is now Looking for you

AGAIN ME, Micah and Gerald HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH KENNITH SLAUGHTER/VMC.WE ARE NOT EMPLOYEE'S WITH HIM,I WAS AN EMPLOYEE A MONTH AGO,ALL REFUNDS HAVE TO GO THREW KENNITH SLAUGHTER AND I WAS NOT THE EMPLOYEE THAT HANDLED THE REFUNDS.THIS IS HARASSMENT AND I WILL NO LONGER TOLERATE BEING A PART OF THIS.QUIT IT AND MOVE ONTO THE REAL SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM.IF YOU WERE TO SHOW UP TO THE ADDRESS YOU HAVE LISTED REST ASSURE YOU I WILL HAVE THE POLICE WAITING FOR YOU!!! YOUR MONEY IS NOT HERE,ITS WITH VMC/ AKA KEN.IF OUR NAMES ARE LISTED AS EMPLOYEE'S STILL THAT IS KEN'S DOING,BUT AS I STATED BEFORE WE ARE NO LONGER WORKING FOR KENNITH SLAUGHTER.
ALSO TO CLEAR UP SOMETHING JUST BECAUSE ONE PERSON DOES A CRIMINAL ACT IN THE FAMILY DOES NOT MAKE EVERYONE ELSE A CRIMINAL.IF IT DOES THEN YOUR WHOLE FAMILY ARE CRIMINALS SINCE YOU ARE COMMITTING A CRIME WITH FALSE ALLEGATIONS AGAINST ME,MICAH AND GERALD THAT WE ARE DOING CRIMINAL WORK,AND THREATENING US AND HARASSING.ALL OF THESE POSTS ARE BEING REPORTED I HAVE ALREADY MADE A REPORT AGAINST YOU IN FROM THE FIRST POST AND THE EMAILS YOU HAVE SENT ME USING FACEBOOK.WHEN CONTACTING A FEW PEOPLE ITS NOT TO HARD TO FIGURE OUT WHO THE REAL PERSON BEHIND THE SCREEN REALLY IS.SO LET THIS BE A FINAL WARNING OR I WILL GO AHEAD AND PRESS CHARGES AGAINST YOU.

Well, at least everyone now knows that it is a complete scam run by a criminal whose own family loathes him. Thanks for the update.

Somebody oughta check the Slaughter house for carbon monoxide. These folks ain't right in the head.

I did a +1 and my post was deleted but the original post wasn't... LMAO... I didnt know +1 was so offensive or off topic

ok ill change it... +2

The last interloper who tried is rotting in the compost heap -- out back by the creek.  Them Slaughter boys don't take kindly to strangers >:(

I've managed in 9 post to draw out Samantha and Micah who claims to be country Billy bad ass with people rotting in the compost pile out back the trailer,  which by the way I drove by this weekend and has some really nice upgrades courtesy of my money and any other individuals scammed by these fkers.  So let's recap I threaten with personal info disclosure, file an official police report of theft and a statement with local police here in the springs.  Retain an attorney to file legal recourse and easily draw them out. This really stirs the pot. The real perps can't resist deflecting because that is the only validity they can gain through falsifying post in forums which are notorious for running scams.  They then verify identity under sudo accounts and get pretty mad treating everything from legal action to filing reports and contacting who cares who.  Little is known about who is really running this sham but I hope those affected take this as a lesson on how to track criminals down still in the process of scamming. Between the local police here in CO and the local popo in MO along with my attorney the state Internet crimes board and other vitims affected I will bring these ass holes to justice.   I am one of these middle of the road above average income ass holes the slaughters would love to be, the veracity with which they devised and execute this scam hasnt hot shit on the execution of my plan to bring legal recourse to the removable steps of the trailer these degenerates live in.  Never trust a used car salesman.  Gerald has a past littered with fraud charges and is the lowest hanging fruit.  God's speed  friends God's speed.

If you gave Ken Slaughter money with the understanding that he was going to do one thing with your funds and he did another thing with your funds then that could be fraudulent activity. 

If you relied on any information (or prospectus) that Ken Slaughter provided to you before making that investment, and any of the information that was provided to you was misleading or not true that could also fraudulent activity.

If you feel you were the victim of fraudulent activity I'd suggest you contact the SEC.

Making idle threats or possibly retaliating with activity that may also be fraudulent or illegal will probably not produced the desired results.

 

Really what jurisdiction does the SEC have over a criminal theft case in MO?

The SEC has nothing to do with this. 

If you have been scammed by these people go to your local authorities and file a theft report for the amount of your purchase, it makes no difference if it was paid in bitcoin or not as long as the funds moved in and out of your bank account at some point treat it as a cash transaction.  Once the police report is filed contact the MO attorney general and open a case(see original post in this thread).  Go get an attorney, most charge around 100-150 per hour, this is a simple theft case and should cost around 600 dollars.  Most states also protect consumers across state lines and have laws on the books to prevent internet crimes such as this. I can provide everyone with known contact information for Ken, Micah, Samantha, & Gerald so your lawyer can contact them directly and serve them with official notice of legal action. However I will not deal with anyone through this forum as these crooks have hundreds of sudo accounts they use to thwart efforts by victims to catch them by phishing and threatening as well as perpetuating the con in the official threads to make it look more real.  If anyone wants to be involved in my efforts to stop these thiefs send a letter by mail explaining your victimization by these cons and provide order information dates police reports information etc to the officer in charge of the investigation here in the springs, this can eventually turn into a more serious case and go federal based on the total amount involved (millions); If you are law enforcement or legal please contact officer Carnes as well

This will end badly for these criminals that is for sure. Gerald has a past littered with criminal activity and suits filed against him present and past.  Ken is a ghost who is much harder to track down physically than his really smart son Micah and his genius wife Samantha Butler (the only person to ever answer the phone at VMC and most likely the one who will be affected most by this as she has a lot of the assets in her name and we have a recording of her on the phone which would be able to be used in court) plus we know exactly where those two are.   
These are cold hard facts and anyone disputing any of this is involved.   As a consumer in the United States of America you are protected by both state and federal law from having money stolen from you take action now! 

the SEC and authorities have everything to do with this..

goodbye ken slaughter.. glad to see action finally being taken to shut this sham operation down....

GOD DUDE GIVE IT UP YOUR NO COP AND YOUR INFO THAT YOU ARE POSTING ABOUT PEOPLE IS FALSE

AWFUL FUNNY THAT I HAVE CALLED VMC MANY TIMES AND TALKED TO ALOT OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE AT THE OFFICE AND YOU CLAIM THAT SAM IS THE ONLY ONE TO EVER ANSWER THE PHONE, YOU ALSO CLAIM THAT KEN IS A GHOST AND DOES NOT EXIST WHEN I HAVE SEEN HIS STATE ID THAT HAS HIS NAME, BUT THEN I GUESS THE STATE IS TO STUPID TO KNOW THAT HE IS A GHOST IS WHAT YOUR SAYING THEN HUH?

GIVE IT A REST ALREADY NO ONE CARES WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY

@gjpminingco:  Let's be clear, Kenneth Slaughter is a serial scammer, regardless of how many people he has answering his phone.  His previous companies all ended up much like Active Mining (currently trading @0.00000512, ~0.2% of the original .0025 issue price).
There are multiple scam threads detailing Ken's cons, one on this very page, here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=504424.0
He also finally famous, about a dozen articles on the web about him gettin' V& by MSD.
