“I've known Ken since we were impressionable teenagers in our formative prep school years. He has been a stalwart friend, totally reliable, and dedicated to service. Even though we live far apart, I know that I and our other classmates can count on this man to come through for us if ever there is a need. I'm sure he is the same with every person lucky enough to win his friendship. ”

At one point I supervised 22 stockbrokers assuring that they utilized the highest ethical standards when dealing with investors. I underwent two Securities and Exchange (SEC) investigations and passed with flying colors. I have brought those skills into my Virtual Cyber Sleuth practice to determine if an ethical breach has occurred especially in the promotion of non-regulated investments like Crypto Currency.
