2018.04.30 Ken "Whit" Whitman Speak Up Over at Tenkar's Tavern

We decided a while ago that we wouldn't let Ken "Whit" Whitman attack people using Not Another Dime (For Ken Whitman) as the forum.

At the same time, however, we do try to keep everyone informed when Kenny pops up, which he has chosen to do over at Tenkar's Tavern. We thought he was taking a break from social media/ being online, but after re-reading his original post that was just from Facebook.

"Jesus H Christ... Do you guys just speculate and make stories up for no good reason?

1. Marcus sold me the store for $320 a week for three years.
2. I have not been able to make a payment since January, and defaulted on the loan.
3. Marcus had me stay on until he found a new buyer.
4. A few weeks ago, Jim wanted to be bought out from Marcus (he was Marcus minority shareholder, he got a percentage when sold Little Monsters Comics, LLC to Marcus), so Marcus paid him money and gave the old store back to Jim.
5. Jim found a buyer. yesterday was my last day as manager as I was training everyone with the new management.

TA DA!

Q. Did Ken own the store. 
A. Yes till I defaulted on the contract.

Q. Does Ken have anything to do with Little Monsters Ent?
A. No.

Q. Is Ken still working on Kickstarters?
A. Yes

Q. Is Ken going back to GA?
A. None of your damn business.

Q. Has Ken answered the NYC Lawsuit?
A. Yes Amazing how no one posted anything about it.

Q. Why did you shut down your facebook?
A. So I can move around the country, make money and finish my kickstarters without Harassment!

Q. What about the $250k in GA?
A. The woman drop charges when she figured out the files were on the disk, but she was using a PC & not a Mac and could not see them. Look using a Mac and TA DA! Why was that never posted?

Q. Do you ever get tire of people making stories up about you and then trying to convince others they are true.
A. There is no such thing as bad publicity.

Q. What do you think about the disbarred Attorney that keeps filing suits against you.
A. I think its a shame that he wasted $250k+ on a law degree, and then disbarred for being an aggressive bully asshole.

Take care you speculating libel bastards."

1st off, "Why was 'that' (emphasis ours)never posted?"....probably because we didn't have the information. You want us to update the appropriate posts Kenny....then have THEM get in touch. Until then, this is just more deflection and/or spin.

2nd, this is the closest thing to a non-update...update on your Kickstarters since (we have to go look & verify) SEPTEMBER 11, 2016!!! If you expect anyone to even believe that you are working on anything, a couple of odd mentions after-the-fact by Marcus King isn't going to cut it. You've gone dark for at least the last 18 months and you weren't exactly increasing your (Kickstarter) supporters confidence in you any before that date.

The fact is Ken "Whit" Whitman has had supporter's money for a collective 7,628 days (the sum of all Kickstarters funding date until today) and hasn't updated these same people a combined total of 3,815 days. This is over 10 years of silence and almost 20 years of having the money.....and let's not forget all the money made off-book that even he probably can't tabulate. All the resin, the KoDt: 20 Years of Covers, and general KenzerCo product/services (we've been told Kenny sold at least one Jolly Blackburn appearance at a con with no provisions for expenses).

At least we can try to celebrate that Ken "Whit" Whitman may finally understand the meaning of the word "libel". Too bad that Erik Tenkar's original post doesn't meet the threshold of libel, clearly being protected 1st Amendment opinions that likely do not meet the injury requirements for Kenny. Obviously his understanding is a work in progress........

2018.04.24 Whit gets a kiss goodbye as he Slips and Slides his night away.

We've received a couple of "tips" that Ken "Whit" Whitman sold Little Monsters Games & Comics to his "girlfriend" Jess Hunter. We don't know about that so much, but the relationship between the two seems a little lot more than professional.

Last week Ken "Whit" Whitman and Jess Hunter did a early morning "show" that ended around 2:30 AM. If you really want to watch the 75' show, by all means....knock yourself out.

We watched it for you, and our opinion is that Ken "Whit" Whitman doesn't act like someone who just sold his store to someone else. He's firmly large & in charge for this "show" and every thing is "his" throughout. The banter between the two is way more than just informal. Here is an excerpt from -7:24 mark (the video counts down the time left):

"The evil that Ken Whitman does."

"That’s right, everyone’s sticking around to see about this wonderful kiss we have at the end that you owe me, my goodbye kiss."

"I see the anticipation in your eyes."

"(sings) ANTICIPATION"

"It’s like you never been kissed before"

"I don’t know, I’ve never been kissed, especially by someone half my age. Half my age, it’s gonna be kinda gross, like kissing a daughter…"

"Don’t, don’t, don’t put me and daughter in the same category."

"OK, I’ll just put you as sexy beeotch (bitch) category."

Of course at the end of the "show" they kiss a couple of times on camera:

We'll see how long this lasts....

2018.05.01 Update:
Yep, the video has been made private....go figure.

2018.04.29 Marcus King Washes his Hands Professionally of Ken "Whit" Whitman

A couple of people have sent us this Facebook post from Marcus King. It doesn't seem to be a public post, so we're limited to what has been sent to us, which was just the text of the post. If anyone can forward a screen shot we'd appreciate it.
We do have some commentary to make, but we'll just use some footnotes, denoted like this (1).

"Marcus King
Admin · 1 hr
Ken Whitman, Kickstarters & Marcus.

Ken has been my friend for about 20 years.
In 2006, as I have described elsewhere in detail, Ken Whitman spent about 3 hours preventing me from committing suicide. Consider, if you can, what you might do to repay such a debt.

Ken and I never worked on any kickstarters.(1) I never backed any of his kickstarters, either. In fact, I have backed about 5 or 6 kickstarters, ever. Two from Reaper, one of two from Dwarven Forge, a couple others. Maybe.

I never received money from Ken about or over or from his Kickstarters.

About a year and a half ago I absorbed the assets (and not the liabilities) of another store, the owner, whose name does not need to get muck/dragged - we will call him JIM. He owned Little Monster in Somerset, KY.(2) About that time, Ken Whitman came to work for me as an employee because he needed to work to eat, plain and simple. I hired him to work in my store. He did some good work for me for a few months. But, some of my staff did not like working with Ken.

After a few months of Ken working with me, he had proven capable when on his meds, and erratic when not. I suggested to Ken that I pay him $8 an hour (what most of my 12+ staff get paid) for 20 hours a week to do projects for me (like casting terrain, and making comic lots, etc), and also pay him 20 hours a week to work on old kickstarter projects (and thus allowing him to work for me, but not with my other staff). I was willing for him to start using my computers or equipment, paying him $8 an hour for 40 hours, and he could live in my home if need be. Thus, using his pay to buy whatever other supplies he needed (like pencils or what have you). Ken went off to work for Troll and Toad instead.(3)

Meanwhile
My plan for the Little Monster location was to close it, but my new partner (JIM), wanted to keep it open, so we tried. But, MOST of what I acquired by merging with Little Monster was their inventory, and their customer base, and their manager (Jason, still works for me, does a great job). I did not want to keep the store open. So, we tried making it a pallet store, didn’t work. I tried to gift it to my daughter and her boyfriend, and give them a good start. REALLY didn’t work.(4)

Finally, Ken not wanting to work for Troll and Toad any longer, he asked about buying the store. Jim wanted to get out of the lease. I agreed to sell it way below value to Ken, as long as he covered the lease. We agreed, signed documents, etc.(5,6)

A year went by.

Jim decided he wanted OUT of being my partner. Suddenly. Like, about two weeks ago.
I paid Jim some money, and gave him back controlling interest in the debt owed by Ken to us.(7) He worked something out with Ken, which documents I have not seen, the details of which I am not privy to.

This is where things stand now.

I am no longer associated with Little Monster.
I am no longer financially associated with Ken.(8)
I am 100% owner of Mad Ox.
Jim is bought out and now has only to deal with Ken.
Ken blames me for his financial troubles, even though I had recently agreed to buy the pencil machine for him to make pencils for his old Kickstarter thingy (mostly because he now has financial responsibility to Jim, instead of me, and I had not required him to make a payment in months, and had previously said I never cared if he made another payment to me or not).(9)

My long term loyalty to Ken has been because he saved my life.
It is not because we are tied at the hip financially. His buying the store from me/us at the time really was only of benefit to Jim, because it relieved Jim & Ken - allowing Ken a source of income, and relieving Jim from the financial responsibility of the lease, which I never was party to or responsible for.

I just wanted to post this to let there be a public record of what has transpired.
If you want to bash me for my past blind loyalty to someone who saved my life, I reckon I got it coming from many of you.

I now wash my hands of all association with Ken, other than being his friend, if he decides he wants to remain friends.

Marcus King
Owner
Mad Ox Games & Comics"

Footnote Commentaries:
(1) Did Marcus already forget about his Facebook post we featured in this post? He literally wrote, "My friend, Ken Whitman and I, goofing around while working on the PencilDice Kickstarter"
(2) "absorbed the assets (and not the liabilities) of another store" We have no idea what that means. Did he purchase the assets, were they a gift? "About a year and a half ago" places it with the dissolution of Little Monster Comics, LLC but a good three months AFTER Kenny's creation of Little Monsters Games & Comics, LLC. We detailed these business filings here.
(3) So Ken "Whit" Whitman had a job offer paying him 20 hours a week to work on his Kickstarters, but he turned it down?
(4) So the store belonging to the company that was administratively dissolved wasn't actually "absorbed", but there was a merger of the two companies, resulting in only one company left, which was NOT Little Monster Comics, LLC.
(5) Up until this point there are TWO storefronts belonging to one company. Marcus and "Jim" are partners in said company. Ken asks to extract one storefront, and presumably some stock, from the one company. He forms Little Monsters Games & Comics, LLC and now there are TWO companies and TWO storefronts.
(6) The most solid statement regarding Ken "Whit" Whitman actually owning a comics & game store seen yet.
(7) So Marcus is now the sole owner of the one company, and Kenny is the sole owner of the second company, but he owes BOTH Marcus and "Jim" money, with "Jim" owning the "controlling interest" in said debt.
(8) See #7
(9) So Ken "Whit" Whitman has not paid off his debt/loan to Marcus & "Jim" in months, and Marcus, who says he doesn't have any financial association with Ken, but evidently holds some of Ken's debt, doesn't care if Ken ever makes another payment. To be fair, that could have been said months or a year ago and is the reason Ken "Whit" Whitman hasn't paid anything in months.


Overall this makes a lot more sense, with the whole....."Does Kenny actually own a store or not?", but it also looks like Marcus has finally gotten burned by his association with Ken "Whit" Whitman. Regardless of anyone's opinion on Ken "Whit" Whitman, or even of Marcus King for that matter, you cannot fault the man for wanting to give Ken a helping hand or three if he credits the man for saving his life.

What's your life worth?....probably a lot more than a storefront and a bunch of comics.....

2018.04.25 We're Calling BS Over Here at NAD

We received a couple forwardings of a specific Facebook post from the "new owner" of Little Monsters Games & Comics. The "new" company, which was created less than an hour and a half after we posted that it didn't exist, is owned/managed by one Jess Hunter.

We've had some speculation back and forth with some contributors about this sale of the business and we've already put forth that we think this is just some paper shuffling, presumably to remove some of Ken "Whit" Whitman's assets going into his civil suit which was filed last month. The company-that-didn't-exist-until-after-the-sale is one big red flag, and frankly we wouldn't be surprised if eventually word comes out that it wasn't Kenny's business to begin with.

That is pretty predictable, especially with the sale of Ken "Whit" Whitman's business so soon after being served with the civil suit. Oh, and here we go....no mention of Ken "Whit" Whitman, but of Jim Sears. If you remember some of the fine print, Arthur James Sears company Little Monsters Comics, LLC was administratively dissolved a couple months after the creation of Ken "Whit' Whitman's company Little Monsters Games & Comics, LLC.

"Hi, I am Jess Hunter, the new owner of Little Monsters Entertainment. This week I purchased the store location and merchandise from Jim Sears. He was the owner Of Little Monsters Comics for over 8 years, I look forward to his mentoring as I venture down this road with my three fav boys, Alex, Ron & Robert."

This info is listed twice because we fully expect the embedded Facebook post to go *poof* as these things tend to do....



We're going to go ahead and not only call it (that a paper trail is being made to insulate Kenny), but be pro-active and list what we can to call bullshit on this:

2017.10.19 Ken "Whit" Whitman Admits to Trying to Sell Fake Memorabilia (But Doesn't Accept Any Personal Responsibility)
"Recently I bought a Comic Book shop in Somerset Ky called Little Monsters Games & Comics, LLC."

2018.01.04 Some Confusing Background Information Concerning Ken "Whit" Whitman's Comic/Game Store
Ken Whitman is the only organizer & registered agent for Little Monsters Games & Comics, LLC

2018.02.14 Ken Whitman Responds to KODT LAS Release (comments section)
"with the sucess of my store i have been able to afford two heat foil machines so i can prodyce them myself. I have placed an order from the machines coming from china,"

2018.04.17 Ken "Whit" Whitman is on the Run!
"I am no longer manager/owner of Little Monsters Games & Comics, LLC. I will be staying on till the end of the month to help with the transition of new owners."


Now it could be taken that Ken "Whit" Whitman is just a straight-up liar about owning/managing Little Monsters Games & Comics, despite having stated as much many times over the last year or so. You might chalk it up to boasting, a little pride, whatever. Hell, he used to claim ownership of a freakin hotel that wasn't his, but belonged to the family he married in to.

You know....it would be real useful to have some words on it by the guy who allegedly sold Ken "Whit" Whitman his business....and that would be Marcus King. Oh yeah...we have that!

2017.09.15 Little Monsters Games & Comics Facebook Post(s)
"So, someone sold $10K of stuff in your store. You do realize YOU are on the hook for $600 sales tax, right?

True story."

Hmm.....Marcus didn't say, "Hey you knucklehead, that business was conducted in MY store and you just publicly put me on the hook for a $600 tax bill!" No...no he didn't. He clearly stated that the transaction, which Ken "Whit" Whitman tried to immediately weasel out of, was conducted in KEN'S STORE and that KEN was "on the hook" for $600.

The contents of said Facebook post have been scrubbed, but we did manage to preserve a copy for posterity....

2018.04.24 Ken "Whit" Whitman Kicking the Can Down the Road

Casual readers here might not notice that Ken "Whit" Whitman tends to state, rather frequently, that he's working on his Kickstarter Projects, but we never see any actual proof of such activity.

The reason for this, or at least the only reason we can comprehend for such activity, is that, for the most part, by stating that he's still "working" on these projects Ken "Whit" Whitman isn't in default/has abandoned his obligations.....he's just several years late/behind.

Ken "Whit" Whitman didn't blow through his Kickstarter money on a car,  a cruise, or on other Kickstarters (than the one the money was pledged to), he just ran out of money. He ran out of money on the Pencil Dice....not sure how because nothing was ever manufactured even though he claimed it would "only" cost "about" $10K to produce & ship....even though he took in a combined total of $46,784 for the two Pencil Dice Kickstarters ($38, 161 for the 1st Campaign and $8,623 on the 2nd Campaign).

Where'd the money go Kenny? Where did it go?

Of course these are just two of the 6+ Kickstarters Ken "Whit" Whitman has been involved with that have......issues.

BUT, if he's still "working" on them he can kick that can of obligation down the road and just say he's late, not fraudulent. Of course he also says he's not fraudulent because he didn't intend to take peoples money.

We don't get it.....if you get $46,784...well probably need to round that down to $40,000 to account for Kickstarter's cut and some pledged that didn't actually get charged to Patrons (who now are lucky SOB's...right?) and all you needed to do, by your own accounting, was peel 1/4 of those funds off to manufacturing the product......

......anyway, today Ken "Whit" Whitman said he's quitting Facebook and taking some time to work on his Kickstarter Projects. We already know he has more than one Facebook account, so which one Kenny? Just the one, or maybe this one as well? Then there is this page as well. Heck, we don't even see the profile this post came from!

"TONIGHT at Midnight Deactivating my account for a bit. Taking time to finish up my Kickstarters and a few other creative venues. If you have any last words, now is the time to PM me!"

Nope, we think Kenny is just trying to make it look like he's doing something on his Kickstarters. If he was actually able to finish one of his many outstanding projects, surely he would have posted an actual update on Kickstarter....and yes, we checked. Nope.....we think Ken "Whit" Whitman is just trying to disappear for a bit....maybe to avoid his responding to his one summons or to avoid any more coming down the legal pipeline.

AND to kick that proverbial Kickstarter can down the road a spell.....

2018.04.23 Connecting Some of the Dots.....

Today we got a lengthy email that was mostly some praise for our work here at Not Another Dime (For Ken Whitman), but also stated some of the writer's personal history not only with Ken "Whit" Whitman, but some odd similarities with lawsuits and game stores that  is actually unrelated to the situation and hand and only mentioned because it seems everything worked out well for the writer and we shouldn't give up hope.

There was something though that really piqued our interest, "I "worked" with KEN at Eriksen Services before he was fired". The mention of Ken "Whit" Whitman being fired isn't what caught our eye, although maybe it should because the author later added: "Even working with him at Eriksen he lied and manipulated Doc on many occasions and lied about the status of projects and their completion on many issues."

OK...we're going to stop right here for a little Public Service Announcement. This is an unsubstantiated set of quotes from an email delivered to NAD using our web contact form. Although the report of lies, manipulation, and additional lies regarding status of projects completely fits the pattern we've seen from Ken "Whit" Whitman over the last several years regarding not only KoDT:LAS, but his other (we actually have to count them) five (5!)Kickstarters.....but we think we should probably also count his involvement with several other Kickstarters, bringing the count to....what?....a total of ten (10!) Kickstarters with this type of activity.

Anyway, we cannot substantiate the information in this email, nor are we going to try because we do not wish to put a burden on anybody unfortunate enough to have hired Ken "Whit" Whitman as an employee. Please assume that the mention of Kenny lying, manipulating, and being fired are false allegations. This isn't the information that even interested us in the 1st place. We just wanted to acknowledge the elephant in the room and push it aside.

No, what interested us was the mention that Ken "Whit" Whitman worked for Eriksen Services, because we knew we'd heard of that name before but not 100% where. A quick Google search brought us to Eriksen Services, and a little poking around there led us to Dr. William C. Eriksen, who evidently is a Chiropractor with some good RED Cameras. Wow....those cameras are expensive, but what does this have to do with Ken "Whit" Whitman and/or KoDT:LAS?

Well a couple of years ago Ken "Whit" Whitman tried to threaten us with a possible "Libel" suit because we said he was using equipment purchased with KoDT:LAS Kickstarter funds. Of course Jolly Blackburn backed us up by stating (it's all there on the other post) "When Ken pitched the project his budget indicated he'd be leasing the equipment from a local chiropractor in Kentucky - high end Red cameras." Back in 2014 Kenny posted a KoDT:LAS Update that he didn't have to lease the cameras because "d20 Entertainment has received a donation from a local production studio to help with the cost of filming the Knights of the Dinner Table: Live Action Series. Without the cost of renting high-end movie equipment, we bring you a full- length movie at a more reasonable Kickstart Goal."

So we have this whole issue of budgeting one thing, stating that part of the budget isn't needed, but the having to add in a few items that weren't part of the original budget (i.e. all the camera equipment he purchased and then used for subsequent projects having nothing to do with the Kickstarters), and then stating the equipment has been pawned off (but evidently still available for those other non-Kickstarter projects...).

A bit twisted, no?

At least this unexpected email narrows down who was the likely source for the camera equipment Ken "Whit" Whitman was counting on for use with his three video-based Kickstarters. There cannot be that many RED Camera owning Chiropractors in the whole of the US, much less Kentucky.

Moving forward we can expect to see a lot more twisted information concerning Ken "Whit" Whitman's finances when it comes to his Kickstarters, but at least we can piece a little more of the backstory regarding some of the expenses regarding KoDT:LAS.

2018.04.22 Ken "Whit" Whitman Sells His Business?

There has been some debate regarding whether or not Ken "Whit" Whitman owns Little Monster Games & Comics. We've covered the subject on IF Kenny owns this store or not and while the best we came up with is "maybe", for the purposes of this post it doesn't really matter because Ken "Whit" Whitman has clearly stated he owns & manages Little Monster Games & Comics on several occasions, but we'll just reference this specific time because not only did Kenny state that the business was his, but that it was transferring to new owners and he was assisting in said transition: "I am no longer manager/owner of Little Monsters Games & Comics, LLC. I will be staying on till the end of the month to help with the transition of new owners."

The "new" store is now under the domain of "Little Monsters Entertainment, LLC". New logo, but same store. Here is a post from an hour ago: "Tuesday night will be Whit Whitman last comic show at Little Monsters. He will be bringing out some great titles for his last sale, including Slabs, detective comics, Deadpool, ghost Rider, and really good stuff. Stop buy at 8pm est to wish him a happy Good-By."

Looks like Ken "Whit" Whitman is enjoying himself, presumably because he thinks he can skip town and avoid responding to the summons he received last month. There has been some speculation that he is offloading the store so it cannot be lost as an asset of his in this, and a pending future (still just a rumor) suit. Assuming Ken "Whit" Whitman actually did own the store, remember that he's the only registered agent and has been claiming it's his store all along, it's on the table for the purposes of the suit.

Our speculation is that the store hasn't actually been sold, but it is changing hands on paper only.....and maybe not even that. Maybe it really wasn't in Ken "Whit" Whitman's hands to begin with......but that would be a huge other legal/tax problem probably beyond the scope of this blog.

The thing we find interesting is that as of today's date, we cannot find any paper to support the alleged "sale" of Little Monster Games & Comics to Little Monsters Entertainment, LLC. All we can see is a new Facebook page with a pretty new monster courtesy of Shutter Stock Images.

We went ahead and did a quick search with the Secretary of State for Kentucky, and as of today's date there is no listing for Little Monsters Entertainment, LLC. We did a search for "Little" and came up with at least 999 listings (old & new) and it just isn't there.

Special Note: This picture is Photoshopped to show the top of the page while still showing the immediate entries before and after "Little Monster" as the page is listed alphabetically with  the search for "Monster". You can easily just do your own search with the link above.

Now it could take a while for the LLC filing to be posted, but it's been at least three business days and realistically the business should exist as a legal entity BEFORE acquiring/purchasing the store, so that filing should be in the system.

Until we see some paper dated before the 17th, we're going to assume this is just a dodge and an attempt by Ken "Whit" Whitman to avoid any repercussions from his Kickstarter Projects.

2018.04.23 Update
Interesting in that we published this original post on Sunday, April 22nd at 12:35 PM Central/1:35 PM Eastern. Why is this important? Well look what was filed almost an hour and a half later:

So let's see if we got this right......the legal entity that is purchasing Little Monsters Games & Comics from Ken "Whit" Whitman didn't exist until an hour and eighteen minutes AFTER we posted that said entity didn't exist? No, that doesn't look fishy at all.

Evidently you can file online anytime......

2018.04.17 Ken "Whit" Whitman is on the Run!

After being served with a summons last week it appears our main man Ken "Whit" Whitman has decided he better skip town. We have to assume he's also being a bit proactive in trying to avoid being served with that second suit we've heard rumor about (we'll post the details once it's been served and we get our hands on a copy like last time.)

Not so much a rumor, but speculation on our part, is that Ken "Whit" Whitman is not only fleeing from one or more suits, but trying to get out of Dodge because his expressed interest in Little Monsters Games & Comics, assuming he actually owns any portion of the company, could be in jeopardy.

"As of 7:20 pm tonight, I am no longer manager/owner of Little Monsters Games & Comics, LLC. I will be staying on till the end of the month to help with the transition of new owners. I will begin persuing a full time career in the motion picture industry as well as finishing up some unfinished kickstarter business. I appreceate all of your who have helped my time at Little Monsters as incredable experience."

With the spelling and grammatical errors that is Ken "Whit" Whitman's unique style, it looks like his work. Also, the fact that he posted this twice on two separate Facebook accounts (another classic from Kenny) must mean this is serious...

For the record, the graphic on the right is of several Facebook posts merged into one picture.

We also noticed he mentioned his Kickstarters, presumably so he can avoid even more suits by claiming that he's "working" on the Kickstarters, and just slow/late. Of course claiming on FB that he's working on the Kickstarters is kind of useless since he has clearly abandoned the projects since he hasn't checked in with his backers using a Kickstarter Update, on ANY of his six "open" projects, since 2016.

2018.04.14 Ken "Whit" Whitman is "Working" on Pencil Dice

We were forwarded this picture from Marcus King's Facebook and we here at Not Another Dime (for Ken Whitman) don't think it's too legit.

We think (i.e. this is our OPINION) that with the recent "heat" that is Ken "Whit" Whitman's recent summons, he's trying to dissuade his 1,688 Pencil Dice/RPG Pencil Dice backers, who gave him a combined total of $46,784 from similarly taking legal action.

If you go back to the comments from the A Walk in the Dark Blog you'll see this gem, a response to this question "3) Is there a plan to get the Pencil Dice produced and out to backers?"

"with the sucess of my store i have been able to afford two heat foil machines so i can prodyce them myself. I have placed an order from the machines coming from china,"

The spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors  have been retained. This was posted on February 14th.....two months ago. We've seen nothing since until this Marcus King post:

"My friend, Ken Whitman and I, goofing around while working on the PencilDice Kickstarter"

On the surface this looks legit, BUT......he's holding up two pencil bags of different color. A picture of multiple bags of one color or, even better, the TWO heat foil machines, would go a long way in convincing someone that there is in fact progress being made on the two Pencil Dice Kickstarters.

Our 1st guess was that he's simply holding up two dice bags that were color samples used in the Kickstarter campaigns. A quick look at the campaigns' graphics do show that the  "PENCIL DICE" looks different that what was shown, but that only goes so far. Either set of lettering could easily be faked in Photoshop, and it is not unreasonable to expect a little trickery.

If you look at the Kickstarter graphic the lettering is at the end of the roll, where in the Facebook post picture the lettering seems to be on the back of the roll. We suspect, after looking at the leather pencil dice bags shown on the campaigns, that the lettering was added in Photoshop there and Ken "Whit" Whitman is holding two samples from his intended supplier (from before/during the original Kickstarter campaign).

Please Kenny, prove us wrong and we'll make some corrections.

2018.04.13 Possible Ken "Whit" Whitman Sighting Online

If you've been a regular reader here at Not Another Dime (for Ken Whitman) you know that we do what we can to post facts backed up by links. While we try to be neutral and not post opinions we'll freely admit to getting jaded over the years when it comes to our main man Ken "Whit" Whitman.

Historically Ken "Whit" Whitman has used multiple social media accounts and has removed content we've linked to in order to try and clean up his online & social media presence so we know that sometimes our documentation cannot be verified. Our normal stance here at NAD is to ask our readers to assume everything we post that cannot be verified directly by our viewers to be false.

The subject of this post is pure speculation, but we've come to the same conclusion as others who have been following Ken "Whit" Whitman's assorted postings over the years. We have to ask you, dear reader, to assume our speculation is wrong and to follow the assorted links here and one the "Ken Sez" page and draw your own conclusions, if you can.

Now that Ken "Whit" Whitman has been served, and that this information has been shared on Tenkar's Tavern, it was only a matter of time before we heard from Ken "Whit" Whitman.

Matter of an Application for Admission to the Bar of the Commonwealth, 378 Mass. 795 (1979). Further, Desy has shown a lack of candor in these proceedings. As the single justice noted, his answers to questions about his background "have been defensive and perfunctory — in effect, a failure to answer." Indeed, in his brief to this court, he has wholly failed to address the serious questions arising from his dealings with the company. We are left with grave doubt about Desy's present character and fitness to practice law. We resolve that doubt "in favor of protecting the public by denying admission." Matter of an Application for Admission to the Bar of the Commonwealth, 444 Mass. 393, 397 (2005), quoting Matter of Prager, supra. Having reviewed the entire record, we conclude that Desy has not shown that at this time he "possesses the necessary q
ualifications to practice law in the Commonwealth." Matter of Prager, supra."

So we get a 2:07 AM post by "Unknown" that shows all the hallmarks of Ken "Whit" Whitman:

• Early morning post
• Bad spelling
• Hatchet cut & paste job
• Attacks someone calling him out on his behavior

The thing is, there is really no reason for anyone else to bother posting this information. We're only doing it in response to the original post. 

The thing is, and this is specifically meant for Ken "Whit" Whitman, nobody (else) cares about Mr. Louis Desy Jr.'s ability to practice law in this matter. Not only is he not representing ANYONE but himself, but he's filed this paperwork "Pro Se". If "Unknown" would bother to either read the summons or spent 30 seconds online they'd find that the plaintiff is acting on his own behalf. Now since we're assuming this "Unknown" is Ken "Whit" Whitman, as other have done, we have to find it amusing on some level because Ken "Whit" Whitman has repeatedly worked to bury parts of his past (Rapid POD anyone?) and claim they have no bearing on his current efforts.

2018.03.30 Ken "Whit" Whitman Served With Civil Suit

Editorial Note: The lead-in graphic for this point is just some wishful thinking.....actually the picture is named "Wishful Thinking".

We kind of knew something was going down, but didn't have enough to post, not that we would because we wouldn't want Ken "Whit" Whitman getting a head's up on "his" website. Earlier this week Ken "Whit" Whitman was served a summons from one of his "scammed" Kickstarter backers, and Not Another Dime (for Ken Whitman) got a bit of a shout-out in the paperwork.

The news on this event was released to the world over at Tenkar's Tavern. Of course we're a bit jealous, but to be fair, Tenkar's Tavern has a much bigger audience that we do since we've got such a singular focus. As per our usual, we're posting everything we can here for simple documentation, but you should browse the news over there as well.

Before we start showing the details we want to highlight one particular quote from our main man that really applies, something that Ken "Whit" Whitman once posted over at Tenkar's Tavern: "I am not running from the LAW, The LAW can find me anytime. The reason I was not served, is I have done nothing illegal. Can people serve me for small claims and civil, sure they can. Just like I could sue you Erik, but like me, you don't own shit, so it would be am empiric victory.

So enjoy waiting more time haters & Happy holidays."

We aren't going to post the entirety of the summons, in text at least, but there is a PDF copy available from Tenkar's Tavern Discord Server, located here. As that server gets used more & more the file will be harder to find. While it seems obvious that the Plaintiff, one Louis Desy, Jr., must be ok with having his personal information "out there" by giving Tenkar's Tavern the PDF, in the pictures below we have redacted said personal info.

Now if you want to follow along, like we do, you can follow the case at this website: https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/CaseSearch and use this case number: 651541/2018. Now Obviously we'll be following along and posting when we feel it is appropriate. As the time of this post the only thing relevant is the copy of the Affidavit of Service.
