This Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D relates to shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”)of VeriChip Corporation (the “Issuer”) and amends and restates certain Items of the Schedule 13D, originally filed by Scott R. Silverman and R & R Consulting Partners, LLC (“R&R”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 19, 2008, as amended on February 27, 2009, October 1, 2009 and October 19, 2009 by furnishing the information set forth below. Information contained in the Schedule 13D, as amended, remains effective except to the extent it is amended, restated, supplemented or superseded by information contained in this Schedule 13D/A.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The following information restates the information previously provided in Item 3.

On November 12, 2008, R&R acquired 5,355,556 Shares from Digital Angel Corporation, which represented Digital Angel Corporation’s entire interest in the Issuer. R&R paid, in consideration for the Shares acquired, $750,000 from working capital. Mr. Silverman is the managing member of R&R. Mr. Silverman acquired his remaining 866,111 Shares while serving as an officer and director of the Issuer.

On February 20, 2009, as compensation for services that Mr. Silverman has rendered and will render to the Issuer as executive chairman from December 1, 2008 through December 31, 2009, Mr. Silverman was issued 601,852 restricted Shares, which will vest on January 1, 2010.

On September 29, 2009, pursuant to a stock loan agreement with Optimus Capital Partners, LLC (“Optimus”), Optimus borrowed 1,300,000 Shares from R&R in order to facilitate the transactions contemplated by the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, dated September 29, 2009, between the Issuer and Optimus (the “Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, from time to time, R&R will loan Shares equal to 135% of the aggregate purchase price for each tranche pursuant to stock loan agreements between R&R and Optimus. R&R is being paid $100,000 plus 2% interest for entering into the stock loan arrangement. The aggregate amount of Shares loaned under any and all stock loan agreements, together with all other Shares sold by or on behalf of the Issuer pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6. to Form S-3, can not exceed one-third of the aggregate market value of the voting and non-voting common equity held by non-affiliates of the Issuer in any 12 month period (the “S-3 Limitation”). R&R may demand return of some or all of the borrowed Shares (or an equal number of freely tradable shares of common stock of the Issuer) at any time on or after the six-month anniversary date such borrowed Shares were loaned to Optimus, but no such demand may be made if there are any shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding. If a permitted return demand is made, Optimus shall return the borrowed Shares within three trading days after such demand (or an equal number of freely tradable shares of common stock of the Issuer). Optimus may return the borrowed Shares to R&R, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, without penalty or premium.

On October 8, 2009, pursuant to a stock loan agreement with Optimus, Optimus borrowed an additional 800,000 Shares from R&R in exchange for a cash payment of $1,000 plus 2% per annum.

On October 20, 2009, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement between Mr. Silverman and Optimus, Mr. Silverman sold 750,000 Shares to Optimus in exchange for approximately $1.4 million. The stock purchase agreement contains customary representations and warranties of Mr. Silverman and Optimus. A copy of the stock purchase agreement, dated October 20, 2009, between Mr. Silverman and Optimus is attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and the terms of such agreement are incorporated herein by reference.
