Don't worry folks, I shan't be trading with you anytime soon.
I feel a little like Jesus Christ being crucified by the Romans, hehe.
Okay, it's time to level with you all but I'm sure you'll just say I'm batshit crazy....
I supported Ken from the beginning because I, like many of you, believed in what he was doing and that it would turn a tidy profit. When the board of Advisors resigned I started to question Kens abilities and was convinced by board members that Ken was an impressive business man in part because he had convinced eAsic to work with him. I was also aware that he didn't work well with the board and was bloody minded about how the business should run. This gave me confidence that he had what it takes to see the business through to success. At this stage I was aware that he wouldn't enjoy the enormous success he might have if he'd followed through with the boards advice. They put it on a plate for him but he knew better. I was still relatively happy with holding my shares with what I believed would be a limited success, but success all the same. I continued to support Ken and gained his trust while doing everything I could to help, from fighting the trolls, to keeping heads level when people started to flap, to starting a new troll free thread, to creating a structured weekly Q&A, to passing on information which I would get through PM's from Ken. I did all of this simply to protect my investment.
As the months passed I became increasingly concerned about Kens abilities. The spelling mistakes, the grammar, the contradictions, the bad business decisions, the delays, the bad PR, the information blackouts, the stalling, the lack of financials, to name a few.
Around then I could see only two outcomes. That either Ken started to show us that he was succeeding, or that the shareholders would revolt and their actions would bring about a quick demise. Option 2 was to lose my investment. In order to protect my investment, I knew that in publicly supporting the company and sharing my optimism I could potentially delay the shareholders bringing an end to things and hopefully buy time for Ken to make a success. All along I genuinely believed that Ken could make ActM succeed although I had concerns about his abilities from early on.
By the time I was concerned enough, selling my shares wasn't an option as they weren't trading.
So perhaps VE contacted the MSD. Perhaps Ken would never have made a success of the company. Perhaps he might. I still maintain this is no scam, unless Ken has funds which he is withholding. Personally I don't see that being true, however that's just my opinion. I think this is just a failed business with a company that was run by someone who didn't realise that time to market was the key to success.
And finally, I'd like to say that I have never met Ken, never spoken with him on the phone, have never received money from him, have never been a shill (a plant or stooge), live in UK, genuinely believed in ActM having a good chance of success all the way to the possibility of the HASHFAST deals. There is still a small part of me that wonders what the chances are that Ken is still working away but is unable to tell us what he's up to for legal reasons. Then perhaps that's just the optimist in me.
