Wow, Ken Morgan is still out there, still ripping people off, still
changing his name. This needs to stop! Here is how you can help? If
you know where Ken is, call the police or the FBI, or the IRS. Take
your pick as I am sure they will all be interested in him. He needs to
go to jail and stop resurfacing under a new name every couple of years.
If you are someone he has ripped off, call the police and press
charges. Please people this has to stop now. Help your fellow
Vanagonians by getting this guy out of the picture once and for all.
