  • URGENT >> BULLETIN >> MOVING: Kenneth Wayne Leaming, AdSurfDaily Figure And Purported ‘Sovereign Citizen,’ Has Been Arrested In Washington State

    Kenneth Wayne Leaming

    UPDATED 3:59 P.M. ET (U.S.A.) : Kenneth Wayne Leaming, an AdSurfDaily figure and a purported “sovereign citizen,” has been arrested in Washington state.

    Leaming, 55, is listed as a prisoner at the Sea Tac Federal Detention Center near Seattle, a spokesman for the Federal Bureau of Prisons said this afternoon. The circumstances under which Leaming was arrested and detained were not immediately clear. Also unclear was the date upon which he was arrested.

    Federal prosecutors in the office of U.S. Attorney Ronald C. Machen Jr. in the District of Columbia — the venue from which ASD President Andy Bowdoin was charged last year with operating a Ponzi scheme involving at least $110 million — did not immediately return a call seeking comment on Leaming’s arrest and whether it was related to his ASD activities.

    The office of U.S. Attorney Jenny A. Durkan in Seattle had no immediate details on Leaming’s arrest and detention.

    In 2010, Leaming unsuccessfully sought to sue the United States — apparently for the staggering sum of more than $29 trillion — for its actions in the ASD case.

    Meanwhile, in 2009, Leaming sought to place the Washington State Bar Association in involuntary bankruptcy, according to federal records. Records also show that Leaming sought to place a Franciscan hospital in Washington state in bankruptcy.

    The Anti-Defamation League lists Leaming as a member of an “active anti-government extremist group that calls itself the ‘Little Shell Pembina Band of North America.’”

    Leaming, who uses the names of “Kenneth Wayne” and “Keny,”  was blocked in 2010 by U.S. District Judge Rosemary Collyer from filing pro se pleadings in the civil case against ASD’s assets. That case was brought in the District of Columbia by the U.S. Secret Service in August 2008.

    Records show that, in 2010, ads listing Leaming as an “attorney” appeared online. Leaming, though, appears to have no law degree.

    ASD members have claimed Leaming was providing them legal advice.

    Leaming’s company — American-International Business Law Inc. of Spanaway, Wash. — is listed as registered agent for at least 73 companies. Some of the companies use the word “federal” in their names. One company conjures the image of a U.S. government agency in its name, calling itself “Homeland Security Service.” Another company calls itself “Presidential Detail.”

    Two other companies use forms of the name “JP Morgan.”

    Some sovereign citizens — including members of ASD — have clashed with banks in litigation unrelated to ASD.

    In October 2011, some ASD members received an email that used the Leaming nickname “Keny” and encouraged them to file paperwork at the “county” level that identified a federal judge, prosecutors and a U.S. Secret Service agent as “DOJ thieves.”

     

  • UPDATE: ASD Figure Kenneth Wayne Leaming’s Firm Listed As Registered Agent For At Least 73 Firms, Including Companies That Use The Words ‘Homeland Security,’ ‘Federal Asset’ And ‘JP Morgan’

    Kenneth Wayne Leaming, also known as "Kenneth Wayne" and "Keny."

    UPDATED 12:52 P.M. EDT (OCT. 9 U.S.A.) A week ago, some AdSurfDaily members received an email that encouraged them to “name” federal prosecutors, a federal judge and a U.S. Secret Service agent as “thieves” and to file documents at the “county” level identifying the public officials as such.

    The email led to questions about whether a new campaign to harass officials involved in the ASD Ponzi scheme case was under way.

    Quotations from the email were attributed to “Keny,” the nickname of ASD figure Kenneth Wayne Leaming. (Leaming also is known as “Kenneth Wayne.”) The PP Blog reported Sunday that Leaming — in 2009 — filed involuntary bankruptcy petitions against the Washington State Bar Association and a Franciscan hospital in the state. A judge dismissed both petitions, and enjoined Leaming from filing such documents. A judgment of $2,750 was entered against Leaming in the case in which he claimed the bar association owed him more than $32 billion.

    Leaming has been repeatedly sanctioned in Washington state for filing vexatious liens and court documents, according to records.

    Today the PP Blog is reporting that Leaming’s company — American-International Business Law Inc. — is listed in Washington state records as the registered agent of at least 73 companies. The names of several of the firms use words typically associated with government and banking.

    Examples of these include:

    An inactive corporation known as “Homeland Security Service” whose “trustee” is listed as “Task Force, Civil Rights.” The Anti-Defamation League lists Leaming as a member of the Civil Rights Task Force, a sovereign-citizen group.  After the 9/11 terrorist attacks a decade ago, the U.S. government established the Department of Homeland Security, a cabinet-level agency. The precise type of business in which “Homeland Security Service” engaged is unclear.

    Federal Asset Management Service. This active firm lists Leaming and ASD figure Christian Oesch as trustees, with American-International Business Law Inc. as the registered agent. Oesch was an unsuccesful pro se litigant in the ASD forfeiture case and joined with Leaming in an unsuccessful  bid to sue the United States, apparently for the staggering sum of $29 trillion. The U.S. Court of Federal Claims tossed the lawsuit in December.

    Federal Fleet Management. This inactive corporation appears to be tied to the Civil Rights Task Force and lists American-International Business Law Inc. as its registered agent. The business purpose of Federal Fleet Management was not immediately clear in electronic records.

    Presidential Detail. This active corporation lists Leaming as one of the trustees, along with the Civil Rights Task Force and others. American-International Business Law Inc. is the registered agent. The business purpose of Presidential Detail was not immediately clear in electronic records.

    JP Morgan Holdings. This active corporation, which uses a form of the famous J.P. Morgan brand, lists Leaming and the Civil Rights Task Force among its trustees. American-International Business Law Inc. is the registered agent. The purpose of the firm was not immediately clear.

    JP Morgan. This inactive corporation also uses a form of the famous J.P. Morgan name. Leaming is listed as a trustee, and American-International Business Law Inc. is listed as the registered agent.

    American-International Business Law Inc. appears to be listed as the registered agent for at least 73 firms in Washington state. Another such firm — now inactive — was called “Apprentice Millionaires.” It listed Leaming and the Civil Rights Task Force as trustees.

    There also is a company called “Center For Business and Estate Planning,” with Leaming as the sole trustee and his firm as the registered agent.

    There are dozens of other firms with a Leaming tie, according to records.

    At least two notaries public with ties to Leaming and the ASD case have had their licenses revoked, according to records. In the email some ASD members received last week, they were advised to send a “notary certified copy” of county-level “thieves” claims against public officials to the home address of John G. Roberts Jr., the Chief Justice of the United States.
