Our Hall of Shame award goes to Scott Silverman, CEO of the VeriChip Corporation (now known as the "Positive ID Corporation"), which markets the human microchip implant.

In September 2007, the link between implantable microchips and cancer was revealed through  AP investigative reporter Todd Lewan's ground-breaking article "Chip Implants Linked to Animal Tumors."

Sensing the imminent demise of his company, Mr. Silverman began flooding the media with inaccurate statements, denial of facts, and outright lies. Details of his numerous misstatements can be found here: http://www.antichips.com/faq/html/faq-section04.html#toc28

Fortunately, his company's stock lost more than 90% of its value, and at last report, VeriChip (The Positive ID Corporation) was no longer marketing implantable microchips for humans.

SHAME ON YOU, MR. SILVERMAN. THE TRUTH WILL ALWAYS COME OUT.
