USA Files Sentencing Memorandum For Kenneth Wayne Leaming

Posted by ASDUpdates on May 20th, 2013

Added to the docket file today is the government’s Sentencing memorandum related to Kenneth Wayne Leaming and his recent conviction on multiple felonies.  Here is the first part of the Memorandum:

UNITED STATES’ SENTENCING MEMORANDUM

The United States of America respectfully recommends the Court impose a total sentence of 120 months in custody, to be followed by three years of supervised release, structured as follows: 120 months (the statutory maximum) for the false lien counts; six months for the harboring count; and 60 months for the felon in possession count, all to run concurrently.

Overwhelming evidence during the trial shows that Defendant is a determined, persistent offender who will never stop retaliating against government officials for the exercise of their duly appointed duties. Defendant has no remorse for any of his actions, and fully intends to continue to pursue the same course of conduct – this is clear from the defense he presented at trial, and in his filings since trial.

Equally important, Defendant illegally possessed a small arsenal of dangerous firearms, including a “street sweeper” style shotgun and an assault rifle, together with badges and other police-style equipment. During trial, the Defendant repeatedly made thinly veiled threats to engage in violence if he was punished for his actions in filing the liens. Given his anti-government views, Defendant’s possession of firearms is troubling.

In short, the most important of the factors under 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) appears to be the need to protect the public from future crimes of the Defendant, and the government recommends that the Court sentence Defendant accordingly.

I have uploaded the complete document onto the Files website.

From A MLM Skeptic: HILARIOUS: The evasive deflection of reasonable questions to MLM

Posted by ASDUpdates on May 19th, 2013

I thought his article to be one anyone thinking about entering the world of MLM should certainly read.  We all know that those individuals who recruit for their downlines in order to fill their own pockets are not always forthcoming with accurate or complete answers to questions they are asked regarding the “opportunity”.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF NORTH CAROLINA CHARLOTTE DIVISION

THIS NOTICE MAY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY.

Dear Claimant:

On August 17, 2012, the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina (the “Court”) entered an order which, among other provisions, appointed Kenneth D. Bell (the “Receiver”) the temporary receiver to liquidate the Receivership Defendant Rex Venture Group, LLC d/b/a ZeekRewards.com, any of its subsidiaries, whether incorporated or unincorporated, and any businesses or business names under which it does business (the “Receivership Defendant”). On May 8, 2013, the Court entered an order that authorized the Claim Process, set the Bar Date and authorized certain notice procedures in regard to the Claim Process and the Bar Date.

You are receiving this Notice because our records indicate you may hold a claim against the Receivership Defendant. Receiving this Notice does not mean that you hold a claim.

All claims must be filed with the Receiver electronically on the Receiver’s online Claim Portal at www.zeekrewardsreceivership.com.

Individuals or entities that believe they have good cause to either extend the Bar Date or to submit their claim by means other than the Receiver’s online Claim Portal should contact the Receiver at claims@zeekrewardsreceivership.com before the Bar Date to request this relief.
