Today we "received" a bit of a one-two dump of info regarding Ken "Whit" Whitman trying to send some Googled-up legalish documents to some vloggers in an attempt to get them to shut up about his current antics. Ok, that is probably how we're reading the situation (ie. an opinion), but he did have some demands. It's better to just show you:
"To Eric Tankard,
This letter serves as a formal request for correction or retraction of materially false statements of fact made by you in the following YouTube video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?
“Tuesday Afternoon Livestream! 1 PM ET” (published on or about January [insert date], 2026)
This notice is provided in good faith and affords you ten (10) days to correct the record.
Statements Requiring Correction or Retraction
In the above-referenced video, you repeat, endorse, or materially amplify false statements of fact about me, including but not limited to:
Assertions or implications that I am engaged in scams, fraud, or deceptive business practices, presented as factual conclusions rather than clearly identified opinion.
Repetition or endorsement of unverified third-party allegations concerning my past conduct, crowdfunding activity, or professional history, presented as established fact without independent verification.
Statements implying criminal, unethical, or unlawful conduct, where no charges, findings, or adjudications exist to support such claims.
These statements are not framed as opinion, parody, or rhetorical commentary. They are presented in a factual manner, attributed to me, and are materially misleading or false.
Request
Accordingly, I request that within ten (10) days of receipt of this notice you:
Issue a clear correction or retraction of the above statements, and
Refrain from further publication or repetition of these specific false factual claims.
This request does not challenge your right to express opinion or criticism. It is limited solely to factual accuracy, attribution, and the avoidance of false statements of fact.
Reservation of Rights
Nothing in this correspondence constitutes a waiver of any rights or remedies. Continued publication or repetition of false statements of fact after notice may be treated as evidence of knowing or reckless disregard for the truth.
I would prefer correction over escalation and trust this can be resolved promptly.
Sincerely,
Ken "Whit" Whitman"
Erik Tankard...really? Hey Kenny....next time you download a form letter, actually my assumption this was an AI generated letter because there are not nearly enough typos (outside of "Tankard"), I don't know.....maybe insert the actual fricken date? It's not that hard....it was literally yesterday. Just look at today's date in a calendar/phone/smart watch and....I don't know...subtract one day and use that!
Erik wasn't the only one to get such a letter. Don over at The Vlog of Many Things got one that he then ran through his lawyer, made a few phone calls, and then responded to. Good stuff....no seriously, highly recommended watching. Don goes point-by-point and is quite upfront about being wrong about a specific dollar figure, which is fair, BUT I doubt even Ken knows how much money he scammed out of people, between the Kickstarters, the KoDT 20 Years of Covers Books, all the KenzerCo merch he sold, etc. He's already on record acknowledging around $180K+ and we've got receipts here for the fact that rest exists.....so don't bother sending NAD a letter.
