That may be in part because we are both scoundrels, but may also be because I never backed any of his kickstarters, though I did buy many things from him when he owned Rapid POD.<br /><br />I also benefited greatly from our association by meeting Margaret Wies, Jim Ward, Larry Elmore, Jamie Chambers at the Doe Run Inn, at gatherings hosted by Ken.<br /><br />I love Ken.

I did sell Ken the store. I have documents (two) which detail all of our financial dealings, none of which started before he moved here (London, Corbin, Somerset area).<br /><br />I have previously offered assistance to Ken in helping to complete his kickstarters. I offered to employ him at $8 an hour for 20 hours a week, while he worked exclusively on KODT/Traveller projects (to start with) while also employing him for 20 hours while doing other projects (for me, like making magic card repacks or other retail associated tasks).<br /><br />More recently, I told Ken I would buy a Pencil-Engraving (if that is the term) machine, which he estimated to me costing $500+ (but less than $600). My proposal included me buying the machine and the pencil blanks, he would then make half of the pencils I bought for me to resell, to cover the cost of the machine, and future pencil purchases) and use half the pencils to begin fulfilling his past pencil dice kickstarter obligations (this did not include me paying him to do the labor on this project). He did not follow through on this offer.<br /><br />Ken is my friend. Or, maybe at this point, was my friend. He now blames me for selling him the store and it not succeeding, thus causing him not to be able to fulfill his financial obligations.<br /><br />For the record: Never made a penny from Ken's kickstarters, was never involved with them, never.<br /><br />Would still be willing to employ Ken at my standard wage for new staff ($8 an hour) to work 20 hours a week on my projects, and 20 hours a week on his kickstarters.<br /><br />But, there never was a financial link or partnership dating back to the above speculated 2012. In fact, in 2012 I was employed by Troll and Toad, and did not own anything other than a sliver of interest in that company.<br /><br />It is disheartening to read people like Louis speculating that I am some sort of shill or worse. I have been 98% completely candid about my dealings with Ken, and my loyalty to him has always been about him saving my life in 2006.<br /><br />But, if you want to look at my tax records, I imagine they are a matter of public record, and could be accessed by the freedom of information act.<br /><br />At any rate: I'd appreciate it if you guys gave me the benefit of the doubt. I operate a semi-profitable business where I employ more than a dozen people, on the books, and pay my taxes and my debts, and have never fucked over any one of you.<br /><br />Ask yourself how loyal you would have been to someone you consider to have saved your life... and then see if you think I have been shilling for Ken, or whether I have been legitimately trying to help someone who seems to need, if not want, my help.<br /><br />btw, if your attorney requests my two signed documents involving Ken Whitman, I will provide them.<br /><br />I wish that I could have been a better benefactor to Ken, who was one of the best friends a person could have. And, it breaks my heart he now counts me in the column of people who have ruined him.<br /><br />Marcus King<br />Owner<br />Mad Ox Games & ComicsAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17082834040368898146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-19434393621411927332018-04-28T22:41:51.376-04:002018-04-28T22:41:51.376-04:00I am shocked, but Whitman just filed an answer at ...I am shocked, but Whitman just filed an answer at 10:08pm; and even signed up for email notify!LouisDesyjrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10929968689160109417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-31902273234787758062018-04-25T15:31:59.486-04:002018-04-25T15:31:59.486-04:00Great job, Louis.

'The Partner' must be a very understanding person or somehow thinks that Whitman will not steal from them even though Whitman appears to have stolen from every single person he has come in contact with in the last few decades.<br />LouisDesyjrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10929968689160109417noreply@blogger.com
