I’ve been involved in my fair share of investments across a broad spectrum; including but not limited to, oil and gas investments. I was referred to Colt Ledger, or Henry “Blue” Hill, or J.W. Vickery… or whichever applies at this time, because I invested with a company that promised returns and guaranteed production but never actually drilled the well. Initially I accepted the fact that I made a bad investment and would not be getting any of my money back, but Colt Ledger assured me otherwise. So obviously, I paid his $2635 fee, and even though I questioned signing paperwork stating that there was no guarantee of return on my money, I was pressured by Colt to “finish what I started” and signed anyway.
Now I’m in the same position that I was in to begin with. All I ever get is the run around from this guy and his lackeys (or maybe it’s all just him). He claims that he’s assisted in “indicting 30 to 40 swindlers”, yet I’ve spent time searching online and have found no court statements to verify as such. Furthermore, how would you not have an accurate number of individuals you’ve “indicted”? Especially when that’s your claim to fame. Nevertheless, I continued my search. When I took a good look at his website, I noticed something quite shocking… literally every “Case” he was/is “involved” in is literally a cut and paste picture, with THE SAME STATEMENT ON EACH ONE OF THEM!! Boy do I feel like I’ve been taken advantage of. In search of the truth, I still keep looking, which is how I ended up here. Strange, all that is “Colt Ledger” or whoever he’s calling himself today, leads back to rip off report. I spent time looking through these various reports and I’ve come to notice that he responds to each one with practically the same response, and always ends it with how he’s a great person who spends time with his grandkids. He’s never NOT ONCE address any complaint at face value, always deflecting and moving to a different topic.
Here’s my suggestion: If you see, hear, or are told about doing business with Colt Ledger, AKA Henry “Blue” Hill, not only should you run, but you should run VERY FAR AWAY! This guy claims he’s here to help investors like us who got roped into something bad, but underneath that sheep’s skin is a wolf.
Tennessee investigator HOT ON THE TRAIL of Coltledger.com/Henry “Blue” Hill AKA “Colt Ledger”/Hotfrog.com/JW Vickery/ M.R. COX INC. / Marty Lisle
What is worse in this world than a scammer that takes his feast on the down trodden? Or a thief that steals from the poor and needy?
I contend to you there is nothing lower or more scammish than Henry Blue Hill AKA Colt Ledger, JW Vickery and their HOTFROG website.
First of all, anyone who does any investigation on this crook of a “fake investigator” will find he proudly admits his hero was the leadership from former Promoting oil and gas companies he worked for and was a co owner of ( MR COX INC.) See his quote in attached photo. Yet now, after he made a living doing the same thing he now condemns, he has had a change of heart?!? Our investigation says otherwise. Henry Hill (allegedly) left the industry of Oil and Gas promotion with a small fortune (tail tucked between his legs as a failure) yet all his income paid to him off the backs of the very down trodden investors he now claims to protect. But note this “protection” comes only AFTER he gets more money out of these poor people. What a shame you are Henry Blue Hill!
Next, see how he plays the fake investigator to steal from the down trodden. As a Investigator in the business will tell you, his investigations are cut and paste to pump his internet viewings online with clickbait type showcasing and made up investigatory websites to make him appear professional. This, in our investigation of merely 10 of these companies, is made up slander to then turn a profit for Hill by finding disgruntled investors, whom he then takes to the woodshed for more money. JUST LIKE BACK IN HIS OLE MONEY RASING DAYS! Some people never change. I give you… Henry Hill –Colt “crook” Ledger.
This is very similar to the Duke Lacrosse rape case, where false accusations marred the lives of young men, who weren’t guilty of a crime, for many, many years. Henry claims these companies, he simply pulls off online searches, mostly of companies who have filed Regulation D Exemptions: are under “preliminary investigation” without actually being involved with the alleged on any investigation or contacting anyone regarding the matters he raises. In other words, he lies to build a story to sell. Creates fake investigations and 99% never amount to anything they are total shams – yet he still gets paid. Well, sorta like the ole money RAISING days for Henry Hill, but at least then he disclosed the risk of total loss of investment…or did he? We’d hate to hear of fraud allegations regarding Hills old days on the telephone, but that’s to come later for the Feds. Funny thing is now the regulators – who are here to help people from fraudsters like Hill and his side kick Vickery-wont even take his complaints anymore. They’ve figured out he is a fraud. A sham, a total scammer.
I would contend to you, nothing is more evil than falsely accusing someone of a crime for money or fame. This is how Henry Hill makes his living.
Lastly, is this braggadocio of Hills and Vickery regarding the Supreme Court matter. And what does this really prove? Nothing. To beat Hill is easy, just take him to trial and watch them crumble with his fake investigations! That group of backwoods court room clergy ruled regarding a TEMP REST ORDER? This is laughable. This meant nothing, I can assure all. This means he can continue on until trial – that’s all. He simply will be taken to trial. And he will be beaten because regardless of his “aggressive tactics” he slanders companies who are not proven guilty of a crime amongst other things (like Hill being investigated by the Tennessee ATTORNEY GENERAL as well as being reprimanded for working as a PI without a license see attached for both)
Hill can be assured of this, when the companies get together the class action and come after you, you won’t have the money to fight the things you slanderously posted. There will be many spectators that you’ve promised to get money for watching when you go down.
You’ll spend your commission raised monies (from your Money raising days) defending yourself from such illegal acts; i.e. you’ll be looking over your legal shoulder for years to come – sorta like in your money raising days! Remember those Hill? Or should I call you Ledger? Are you in San Antonio now, or Kentucky? Perhaps Tennessee… You know criminals are known for using AKA’s and moving around a lot to hide their criminal doings.
Good luck looking over that shoulder Ledger, oops, I mean Hill.
Proof of Henry “Blue” Hill’s prior OWNERSHIP in an oil and gas company by the name of M.R. COX:
Prior to turning over my situation to Colt Ledger back in early 2014, I received a 15 page document entitled, "Before You Hire Us" which was actually a due diligence package on Dr. H.C. Hill aka "Blue" Hill aka Colt Ledger. It was in-depth and had many hyperlinks for me to follow so I could readily validate business licenses, professional license, his win in the Kentucky Supreme Court, his wins in multiple legal conflicts with private owned (scams) oil and gas companies, recovery of money, references, multiple securities and criminal enforcement actions based on his work, his multiple names, which is quite a humorous story, guarantees offered, how long the process would take, etc.Colt Ledger would not talk with me until I had completed my due diligence; he made me sign it also.
He holds teleconferences with his clients and allows his clients the opportunity to discuss anything they want to after the subject for the conference is discussed. We swap telephone numbers and email addresses which allows us to compare notes on what we have been told and what are the results. Colt Ledger has a website that allows us to monitor our complaint from the time our first documents are up-loaded until our complaint is resolved, 24/7!
Recently, I received an email that informed me that this summer I would be able to monitor my complaint and communicate with Col Ledger via a Colt Ledger app and that every time something was placed on my complaint site, I will be notified.
Finally, Colt Ledger, has an A+ BBB rating and a national recognized complaint resolution process, however, the if a complaint is filed at BBB the complainant must provide their name and contact information. All the Colt Ledger complaints on the internet are anonymous. If the people who post these blogs are really clients or investigators who have proof of wrong doing why are they not going to the BBB with their complaint?
I suggest if you want to know the truth, call Colt Ledger and ask him for his package. I have found nothing that would deny the fact that he is the "Real Deal". And I believe if you speak with him you will find a man committed to his clients, who will pursue the folks that took your money until hell freezes over.

Dr. H.C. “Blue” Hill, Executive VP/Senior Partner, of M. R. Cox, Inc., is a graduate of Kirby High School, Woodville, Texas; Southeastern Louisiana University with a B.S. in Agribusiness: Louisiana State University with a M.S. in Soil Chemistry, a M.S. in Phytopathology and a PhD in Entomology. He also holds numerous other advanced degrees in various fields. Blue’s work ethic and tenacity to see things through are a result of his parents’ influence and being reared in rural Southeast Texas. He served his country during the Vietnam War and returned home to attend college on the GI Bill. He finished his degreed programs through academic scholarships in record time while maintaining a 3.7 GPA.
He has traveled, worked, and lived all over the world as a Project coordinator, Manager and Consultant to individual mega-farmers, commercial farmers and foreign governments on agribusiness enterprises. He has served as an expert witness in agriculturally related deaths. He has written many published articles on a wide range of subjects. He and his wife, Dr. Patricia Hill, have also traveled extensively, conducting seminars on Family and Life Skills. Blue’s Sales Training Seminars and his Motivational and Life Skills Workshops have always been well attended.
Blue has recently completed 20+ years of managing single and multiple franchised automobile dealerships. Overseeing and directing the day-to-day operations of multi-million dollar inventories and customer driven service facilities has given Blue a tremendous insight into what it takes to build a successful business. He has been the consummate professional, attending several hundred hours of business, sales, management, creative thinking and writing, business and employment law, and negotiating seminars presented by the top experts in the field, at his own expense.
Blue’s exposure to the oil and gas industry dates back to January 10, 1901 on a knoll outside Beaumont, Texas. His Grandfather, Ezra Estes Bellar, a Cajun, was a young roughneck, working with Anthony Lucas drilling the well that would create Gulf Oil, Amoco, and Exxon. That knoll was called Spindletop. Blue’s Grandfather and uncles went on to become involved in every aspect of the emerging oil and gas industry of Southeast Texas an Southwest Louisiana. All male members of the immediate and extended family worked in these oil and gas fields. The down turns and the wildcat nature of the business took its toll. The “bust” of the 1980’s ended the family’s endeavor. Their last well stopped pumping in the mid 1990’s.
Blue and Patricia moved from Atlanta, Georgia to a 200+ acre farm in South Central Kentucky in 2004. They met Marty Lile that year and the oil and gas flame was reignited. Blue became heavily involved in working with investors on drilling projects in the Appalachian Basin. He also pursued and increased his personal investments in lease plays in Texas.
By early 2006, through his own personal success, it became apparent that the oil and gas lease plays in Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma offered his clients better opportunities for profit. He and Marty Lile joined forces and launched M.R. Cox, Inc. with a common goal of offering investors more lucrative investment options, maximum tax advantages and an open door policy. Thus the Mission Statement: “M.R. Cox, Inc. offering investors the advantages of a Direct Participation investment with the transparency of a public held company.”
Blue is an avid gardener and family man who spends his leisure time with his wife on their farm with their menagerie of rescued animals. They do have an extensive collection of photos which they will readily share of their two daughters, tow son-in-laws and five grandchildren that they visit often.

My Uncle was an investor in many various companies across the country with mixed results. With one particular company he was promised exorbitant returns on his investment, given guarantee’s and promises, unfortunately the company just didn’t perform. Eventually, my uncle turn to this “investigator” named Colt Ledger, AKA Henry “Blue” Hill.
During the initial contact with Colt Ledger, my uncle was again promised that, for a nominal fee (roughly $8,000), he would get a full return on his prior investment. He was rather ecstatic to be told that he was for sure going to get his money back, as Colt Ledger continuously touts the amount of indictments and monies collected for his numerous clients. That was the last time my uncle has ever heard from Colt Ledger. Dozens if not hundreds of calls were made to Colt Ledger and his office, but never returned, and this was several years ago! It never really made sense to my uncle or myself until I began to do some research on who he really is. That when the pieces starting fitting together and we realized that Colt Ledger was nothing more than a crook professing to help victims of other crooks. It was and is still sickening to think about how someone can claim to help investors but take advantage of them right out of the gate.
My uncle is a bit older and not a tech-savvy man, so he asked for my help in any way possible in this situation, which is exactly why I’m posting here today. I am choosing to stay anonymous (like it seems some others may have done) because Ledger is a loose cannon and loves to threaten people with litigation. My uncle and I don’t have the money to fight the crooked lawyers who represent criminals like Ledger. At this point he has accepted the fact that he will never see that money again and that he was duped, not once, BUT TWICE! My only hope is that others will see my message, see all of the red flags, and run FAR AWAY FROM COLT LEDGER. I would be happy if we could keep at least one person from falling prey to Ledger’s promises.

Hill can be assured of this, when the companies get together the class action and come after you, you won’t have the money to fight the things you slanderously posted. There will be many spectators that you’ve promised to get money for watching when you go down.
You’ll spend your commission raised monies (from your Money raising days) defending yourself from such illegal acts; i.e. you’ll be looking over your legal shoulder for years to come – sorta like in your money raising days! Remember those Hill? Or should I call you Ledger? Are you in San Antonio now, or Kentucky? Perhaps Tennessee… You know criminals are known for using AKA’s and moving around a lot to hide their criminal doings.
Good luck looking over that shoulder Ledger, oops, I mean Hill.
Proof of Henry “Blue” Hill’s prior OWNERSHIP in an oil and gas company by the name of M.R. COX:
Colt Ledger, The Real Deal
Prior to turning over my situation to Colt Ledger back in early 2014, I received a 15 page document entitled, "Before You Hire Us" which was actually a due diligence package on Dr. H.C. Hill aka "Blue" Hill aka Colt Ledger. It was in-depth and had many hyperlinks for me to follow so I could readily validate business licenses, professional license, his win in the Kentucky Supreme Court, his wins in multiple legal conflicts with private owned (scams) oil and gas companies, recovery of money, references, multiple securities and criminal enforcement actions based on his work, his multiple names, which is quite a humorous story, guarantees offered, how long the process would take, etc.Colt Ledger would not talk with me until I had completed my due diligence; he made me sign it also.
He holds teleconferences with his clients and allows his clients the opportunity to discuss anything they want to after the subject for the conference is discussed. We swap telephone numbers and email addresses which allows us to compare notes on what we have been told and what are the results. Colt Ledger has a website that allows us to monitor our complaint from the time our first documents are up-loaded until our complaint is resolved, 24/7!
Recently, I received an email that informed me that this summer I would be able to monitor my complaint and communicate with Col Ledger via a Colt Ledger app and that every time something was placed on my complaint site, I will be notified.
Finally, Colt Ledger, has an A+ BBB rating and a national recognized complaint resolution process, however, the if a complaint is filed at BBB the complainant must provide their name and contact information. All the Colt Ledger complaints on the internet are anonymous. If the people who post these blogs are really clients or investigators who have proof of wrong doing why are they not going to the BBB with their complaint?
I suggest if you want to know the truth, call Colt Ledger and ask him for his package. I have found nothing that would deny the fact that he is the "Real Deal". And I believe if you speak with him you will find a man committed to his clients, who will pursue the folks that took your money until hell freezes over.

Blue hill
Dr. H.C. “Blue” Hill, Executive VP/Senior Partner, of M. R. Cox, Inc., is a graduate of Kirby High School, Woodville, Texas; Southeastern Louisiana University with a B.S. in Agribusiness: Louisiana State University with a M.S. in Soil Chemistry, a M.S. in Phytopathology and a PhD in Entomology. He also holds numerous other advanced degrees in various fields. Blue’s work ethic and tenacity to see things through are a result of his parents’ influence and being reared in rural Southeast Texas. He served his country during the Vietnam War and returned home to attend college on the GI Bill. He finished his degreed programs through academic scholarships in record time while maintaining a 3.7 GPA.
He has traveled, worked, and lived all over the world as a Project coordinator, Manager and Consultant to individual mega-farmers, commercial farmers and foreign governments on agribusiness enterprises. He has served as an expert witness in agriculturally related deaths. He has written many published articles on a wide range of subjects. He and his wife, Dr. Patricia Hill, have also traveled extensively, conducting seminars on Family and Life Skills. Blue’s Sales Training Seminars and his Motivational and Life Skills Workshops have always been well attended.
Blue has recently completed 20+ years of managing single and multiple franchised automobile dealerships. Overseeing and directing the day-to-day operations of multi-million dollar inventories and customer driven service facilities has given Blue a tremendous insight into what it takes to build a successful business. He has been the consummate professional, attending several hundred hours of business, sales, management, creative thinking and writing, business and employment law, and negotiating seminars presented by the top experts in the field, at his own expense.
Blue’s exposure to the oil and gas industry dates back to January 10, 1901 on a knoll outside Beaumont, Texas. His Grandfather, Ezra Estes Bellar, a Cajun, was a young roughneck, working with Anthony Lucas drilling the well that would create Gulf Oil, Amoco, and Exxon. That knoll was called Spindletop. Blue’s Grandfather and uncles went on to become involved in every aspect of the emerging oil and gas industry of Southeast Texas an Southwest Louisiana. All male members of the immediate and extended family worked in these oil and gas fields. The down turns and the wildcat nature of the business took its toll. The “bust” of the 1980’s ended the family’s endeavor. Their last well stopped pumping in the mid 1990’s.
Blue and Patricia moved from Atlanta, Georgia to a 200+ acre farm in South Central Kentucky in 2004. They met Marty Lile that year and the oil and gas flame was reignited. Blue became heavily involved in working with investors on drilling projects in the Appalachian Basin. He also pursued and increased his personal investments in lease plays in Texas.
By early 2006, through his own personal success, it became apparent that the oil and gas lease plays in Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma offered his clients better opportunities for profit. He and Marty Lile joined forces and launched M.R. Cox, Inc. with a common goal of offering investors more lucrative investment options, maximum tax advantages and an open door policy. Thus the Mission Statement: “M.R. Cox, Inc. offering investors the advantages of a Direct Participation investment with the transparency of a public held company.”
Blue is an avid gardener and family man who spends his leisure time with his wife on their farm with their menagerie of rescued animals. They do have an extensive collection of photos which they will readily share of their two daughters, tow son-in-laws and five grandchildren that they visit often.

My Uncle was an investor in many various companies across the country with mixed results. With one particular company he was promised exorbitant returns on his investment, given guarantee’s and promises, unfortunately the company just didn’t perform. Eventually, my uncle turn to this “investigator” named Colt Ledger, AKA Henry “Blue” Hill.
During the initial contact with Colt Ledger, my uncle was again promised that, for a nominal fee (roughly $8,000), he would get a full return on his prior investment. He was rather ecstatic to be told that he was for sure going to get his money back, as Colt Ledger continuously touts the amount of indictments and monies collected for his numerous clients. That was the last time my uncle has ever heard from Colt Ledger. Dozens if not hundreds of calls were made to Colt Ledger and his office, but never returned, and this was several years ago! It never really made sense to my uncle or myself until I began to do some research on who he really is. That when the pieces starting fitting together and we realized that Colt Ledger was nothing more than a crook professing to help victims of other crooks. It was and is still sickening to think about how someone can claim to help investors but take advantage of them right out of the gate.
My uncle is a bit older and not a tech-savvy man, so he asked for my help in any way possible in this situation, which is exactly why I’m posting here today. I am choosing to stay anonymous (like it seems some others may have done) because Ledger is a loose cannon and loves to threaten people with litigation. My uncle and I don’t have the money to fight the crooked lawyers who represent criminals like Ledger. At this point he has accepted the fact that he will never see that money again and that he was duped, not once, BUT TWICE! My only hope is that others will see my message, see all of the red flags, and run FAR AWAY FROM COLT LEDGER. I would be happy if we could keep at least one person from falling prey to Ledger’s promises.
