Well, real reporters typically talk to multiple sources, Jasun7211. I'm interested in speaking with someone who has (apparently) lost money in this endeavor.

Thanks for the other thread, gogxmagog. Hadn't seen that one. Yeah, if I write something I would be reaching out to the Securities Division, as I said in my last post.

Hi, I'm the reporter with the Springfield News-Leader in Springfield, Missouri, who wrote about Kenneth Slaughter and Active/Virtual Mining earlier this year. It was discussed in this thread way back

I am interested in possibly reporting on what has happened since that story came out; it would include trying to talk to Ken and reaching out to Missouri Secretary of State's office. I've monitored this forum somewhat over the months, but was hoping some of you would be willing to bring me up to speed. My email is tgounley@news-leader.com for those that would be willing to help.

Thanks.
