A) It does not matter what Ken's original intent was. The fact is, he began lying at some point and made decisions that have caused investors to lose money. B) There is no need to prove it was a scam. There only is need to get Ken to pay out the dividends he promised and be honest now. What is important now is for everyone to share what information they have with the Missouri investigators, and to do what we can to publicize Ken Slaughter's reputation so that he is unable to ever start up any other technology business. It would be interesting to find out where he does currently work. So how can you prove that it was a scam, and not just a failed business? He is right that the difficulty shot up higher than anyone expected.
Why would he be currently working somehwere? People gave him a boatload of bitcoins, and he did absolutely nothing with them. |

Many things point to this being a scam:
The easic custom chip based products which will never be built still on the web site and still for sale 6 months after the easic deal was cancelled. Multiple checks posted out with no signature. Refunds delayed for 4months. Promised divs not paid. No accounts released. Prospector cards priced not to sell. Gold cards not promoted or posted out in time. All real work towards custom chips cancelled after millions in pre-order money taken. Kens 15 year history of liquidating companies and lieing to customers. Data Centre seems an after-thought, no attempt at expansion. No promises or plans about company progress ever met.
It all points to the CEO running a shell of a company, spending 25% of the raised funds to look legit then running off with the remaining 75% after the business 'fails'.
THIS. 100TH farm is a drop in the pot - You could create one with under $120,000 in startup money |

We can complain on here all we want, but that will change nothing.
The only actions which make sense are to share all your information regarding your interactions with Ken Slaughter with the Missouri investigators, the address and email and phone number of whom has been shared here multiple times.
Also, it make sense to contact both Woodlaw and Ken's lawyer and express your opinion.
Mine is that Ken Slaughter be forced to liquidate all his personal assets and all of the assets of ActM and distribute them to all the shareholders except for his family members.

According to some back of the napkin math done on here. How much of that was "pissed away" in salary to him and his family? How much of it was pissed away to companies that were never going to produce anything and gave him kickbacks? we have no clue because we have literally no information, but it's a little naive to think a guy with a history of failed businesses would let this one crash and burn wihtout putting something away for himself. And that doesn't even mention all the hardware people have bought for him. |

And that doesn't even mention all the hardware people have bought for him. it looks like Ken Slaughter is a natural born thief / con artists. IMO , he is even smarter than Labcoin scammer, instead of disappearing with the money, the easier way out is to make it look like a legit failure ( aka measly failed mini-farm attempt) and none of his fault and then use our money to pay his lawyer to defend himself  indeed after 61 years of life, he has mastered the art of conning people on internet. hopefully the MSD investigation and the woodlaw case put an end to his operation. I'm really interested how much he paid to himself and his family during this past year while funnelling the investors money into a black hole . edit: spelling |

I think we should have more of a discussion on a point raised recently.
Why has a lot of the coin from the ACTM address gone to what is apparently a scammers address.
14e7XAZbepQp9MXXzjNG3fNLoAUpaBAXHW - scam address.

Once again, we can complain all we want about Ken Slaughter, but unless you are calling or emailing the investigator and lawyers and sharing your story, it is all smoke and vapor.

That scammer's wallet is like the 12th largest Bitcoin wallet. It is probably Coinbase or some other exchange he used to cash it out for USD.
