Patrick Joseph King, who is famously known as PJ King, comes from a very simple background. After spending his childhood in the countryside of Ireland, the man grew a soft corner for the space seeing the milky way. He got himself a degree in Space Engineering as well; however, he later shifted to tech Entrepreneurship. And despite building a successful startup named Clockworks International, PJ King eventually had to sell it off. A professional journey that began from a bedroom tech startup in the mid-1990s has now led itself to a scam.
Clockworks International came into being in 1994, which became a silicon success within years. Although PJ King had enough reasons to boast about the company for its clientele consisting of names like Disney, IBM, and Apple, he sold it off in 2000. King never reasoned his leave, but what followed was enough for raising suspicion. All its main board members got accused of financial fraud and had to face trial. In an interview with CNN, he reported having been one of the first customers to book a ticket to space with the Virgin Galactics. He also co-founded Firefly Space Systems, another space startup at the same time for which he, along with other co-founders of the company, was accused of fraud again. And while King showed a clear interest in Space tourism and technology in 2010, his likings shifted to block and cryptocurrencies since 2013.
And while an investment company is nothing new for him, it is the report by a Wall Street Journal that catches the eye. According to the magazine, Venturion LLC, which appointed King as its CEO in 2018, is a work of the imagination created to legalize black money. After thorough research, the editors found out that the company has neither a website nor a team, and even the registered address coincides with a residence.
