A Brief Introduction to this Page's Purpose

Not Another Dime! is dedicated to documenting the assorted, and sometimes wild, details of Mr. Ken Whitman's business dealings within the Role Playing Game (RPG) industry. This place is NOT intended to be a medium of discussion about Mr. Whitman, pro or con, but instead be a "jumping off" point to enable the reader to make their own informed decision about Mr. Whitman's history and business character. (Editor's Note: After years of this documentation, we simply cannot be anything BUT "con" when it comes to Mr. Whitman)

Whenever possible, links to the original source material will be provided, but in many cases that information may have been deleted or secured behind restricted-access (like a private Facebook page) accounts.

Anything posted here is the opinion of the retrospective author and any content shown is to be considered "fair use" and posted for educational purposes only.

Note to authors: Please begin each post with the original date of the event being documented in the format of YYYY.MM.DD (i.e. If the event being recorded happened on March 15th, 2015 and today's date was August 8th, 2018 the beginning of the post's title would be 2015.03.15 and not 2018.08.08) so readers can use the Chronology page to find specific information. Please use appropriate tags when possible for the same reason.

Note to contributors: If you have some valid data to send, screenshots, links to other Ken Whitman stories, etc., please feel free to send a gmail to notanotherdimeblog. We'll look into it and post if appropriate.

2015.08.08 Welcome

Welcome
This is an admin post welcoming you to the Not Another Dime! blog. 1st off I will freely admit that I am biased against Mr. Ken Whitman because I feel he has scammed at least $300 from my family, but contractually speaking that number is more like $450. I am not alone and was a bit surprised to find myself a new member of a much larger club.

Mr. Whitman denies any allegation of wrong-doing and he has his supporters. While the things I've uncovered are pretty damning, I know very well that I am not infallible and for some reason people like to think that the "truth" is a lot more grey than the black & white I've been brought up to believe.

Between human nature to give a little "wiggle room" on what is the truth and what is a lie; human nature to forgive, forget, and give 2nd 15th chances; and the information environment necessary to enable people to protect themselves from predation....this page was needed.

While I firmly believe that Mr. Ken Whitman is a scam artist, based of of reliable 1st hand accounts and my own experience, I don't expect you to take me at my word. In fact, please take the Devil's Advocate approach and assume everything I've said, and will say, is an outright lie. Look at the information yourself and make your own determinations. Undoubtedly the information presented here, some of it that cannot be traced back anymore due to closed off access or deleted posts, will contain some bias. Undoubtedly you'll come in to this page with your own bias.

All I ask is that you read for yourselves, follow back to the original source when you can, and make an informed decision. I firmly believe you'll come to the same conclusions I have and understand why I feel Ken Whitman should not be able to make another dime in this industry.

    As someone who use to work for him back when Rapid POD was a thing back in 2006/2007 timeframe... I wish I had known about his reputation before turning down a higher paying job elsewhere in favor of working at his company, thinking it would be something I enjoyed. I did, until checks started bouncing (due to his blowing any profits he got on porn, fast food, and online gambling) and he started blaming production delays/problems on employees after promising clients the moon and stars then not telling the employees about job orders until the last minute. He drove that company into the ground, then sold it to Bethane Ditto and her daughter who proceeded to shit on what was left and set the lot on fire. He's also a homophobe and racist, and an all-around disgusting individual.
