Starting point is 00:00:00 The Timepiece gentleman. He would claim a million-dollar robbery. I told you. He financed his watch flipping business by stroking off guys in Dallas. Do you want to hear what his partner had to say about him? The Time Peace gentleman was just sentenced. He, for stealing over $5.6 million. And we brought in Greg, who has dealt with him in the past and is kind of a watch
Starting point is 00:00:26 a watch aficionado. He's got a bunch of watches and he's brought some. He's going to explain how the whole thing went in. down and we're going to get into it so check it out the gentleman's name timepiece gentleman uh was anthony fairer and he ran a large scheme where he was selling watches on consignment um however he didn't he wasn't paying people as they were selling and it kind of collapsed upon itself the way the industry works is that you can't just walk into stores and buy desirable watches.
Starting point is 00:01:02 You know, if you want a Rolex and the MSRP on that Rolex is $8,500, and you show up to the store with $8,500, then they're not going to sell it to you because they want to sell you more. They know that you can leave that store and that what's called the gray market is going to be like $12,000 or $13,000 or $14,000. There's some watches with an MSRP of $15,000 that sell for over 50. So, you know, they reserve the calling the clients on those watches for the most important, the doctors, the guys who will buy their wives, huge diamond rings to offset the fact
Starting point is 00:01:49 that they know they're going to make a huge windfall when they buy that watch, whether they choose to sell it or not well i don't understand because i've had i bought rolexes before i've walked in and paid you know $6,500 for that's right but they are these just like but these aren't specialty Rolexes this is just one they're making thousands of and it it just it became a thing i'm guessing it was pre 2010 that you were yeah this was back in 2000 yeah three four five six back then you could have uh just walked right in the store and bought everything now if you walk into a store, they will basically tell you everything is for display purposes only. Would you like to be put on a waiting list, sir? And case prices drop down low enough. Yeah. And if things get bad and they
Starting point is 00:02:33 start making phone calls, you know, whether it's the economy or whatever, then you know they're probably in trouble. But that gray market is where people like the timepiece gentleman like to exist. You know, there's people who will get watches. They might get that lucky phone call where they might be able to work a deal with their AD where they kick them. AD stands for authorized dealer. So that basically means the Rolex store, where if they kick them, the store guy, a couple of grand, he'll bump them up the list. And I don't want to get sued for saying that's how Rolex does business.
Starting point is 00:03:10 But there, I'm sure, are nefarious trades that have taken place to get people moved up and down the list. That's what allows, like, unscrupulous people to get into watch trading. And I've been doing it for probably 15, 20 years. Hence the unscrupulous. No, I'm a scrupulous. Is that a word? I just have always been fascinated by watches.
Starting point is 00:03:41 And if you watch my other podcast here, then you would say that, I started buying watches when I started making money. If you haven't watched it, shame on you. We should put it at the end of this. Okay. The very end when it's recommended you can click on it. But what I would do, and this is probably circa 2008, 2010, is I would post on Craigslist. There was no Facebook marketplace or any of that.
Starting point is 00:04:13 Don't pun your stuff. don't pawn your watch don't sell it i'll come to you i'll bring cash same day whatever just because i was interested in watches and i didn't want to overpay and then i just started kind of getting into it and then i realized that you know when i got too many i could resell some of them so i'd put them up on craigslist and it's like well that one i just gave that guy seven hundred dollars for sold for almost two grand i mean you know it's 2008 2010 i'm a thousand bucks is somebody's whole week paycheck and I just did it wearing a watch for two or three weeks. So I would just start flipping them, but I'd never really made a full-time business
Starting point is 00:04:55 out of it. So I'm not a real watch dealer. I'm just kind of like a watch enthusiast who likes to buy and sell watches. But what this guy did was he created an entire business model on it, which was for him to, people were giving him watches on consignment. It started out pretty modestly. Did he go to prison? Like, was he already? He had already gone to prison. He'd been to prison multiple times. He had, well, he was a real estate
Starting point is 00:05:23 agent broker, whatever. And he started making good money, according to him and got really into the party scene and ended up trying to, if I recall, ended up trying to run from the police on a
Starting point is 00:05:43 motorcycle, did some time in jail, got out. I think he's got a total of three DUIs. I know he's got at least two. So he just kept going back to jail. And his story, the way he tells it is when he got out of jail and he was living in a halfway house and they were making him go out, he had a couple of things left over from when he was successful in real estate. And one of those was a Brightling watch today probably worth four or five k and he sold it uh so he had the money and then he went on craigs list and he bought like a tag or a different watch and then he flipped that and then he realized that you know when you're in a halfway house you're not out here getting these great jobs right so if he's making you know six 700 a day flipping a watch here and there twice a week you're
Starting point is 00:06:39 probably the highest paid guy in the halfway house, right? Right. So, I mean, so he decided to brand himself the timepiece gentleman. And he, the idea behind that, he told me was the SEO of the fact that people will search for gentlemen's timepieces and, you know, it'll kind of organically pull him up. But then he got really, really into, like, the YouTube. And he decided, at the time he was driving a Jeep, not a Wrangler, a Cherokee, Grand Cherokee, that he wrapped in TimeBeast gentlemen and whatever. And, you know, he was relatively modest. He seemed like a cool enough guy.
Starting point is 00:07:33 But he wanted to create, which is not the worst idea in the world. world, YouTube content, and say, hey, I know it's super glamorous to be a watch dealer, but I'm going to show you the good, the bad, the ugly. I'm going to, you can be part of, part of our team and follow us along all day long. So he created this weekly series that, I won't lie, as a watch guy myself, I was kind of excited when it came out every week. Right. Because and, and.
Starting point is 00:08:04 It gives him credibility. Yeah. You know, oh, but his idea to keep the, the crowd engaged was, okay, nobody wants to see me in a Jeep. He turned around. He got an Audi R8 and, you know, what that is, the Ironman one. You had a TT, right? At an Audi TT. Yeah, it's the men's version.
Starting point is 00:08:30 And. Oh, my God. I'm sorry, I have to. So, you know who Daniel Mac is? You will know. It sounds familiar. He's that kid who goes up to everybody in like an exotic car and is like, man, what do you do for a living? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:53 That kid just happened to catch him in some high-priced Dallas area in his Audi R8. And he's like, I'm the timepiece gentleman. And his, like, now, like, you know, we. used to DM back and forth and talk sometimes, and now he's got, you know, a couple hundred thousand followers or, you know, whatever. Now he's like, Greg Who? Yeah. Sounds familiar.
Starting point is 00:09:16 Yeah, right. Exactly. Yeah, if you're not spending 40, 50 grand on a watch, like talk to one of my sales guys. You know what I mean? So my wife, she has a degree in accounting. And the problem with selling watches is that everybody knows the value. I mean, within an extent. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:35 So, like, he would like to say, and at the end of every episode, he'd say, we sold this money watches. We sold, you know, $250,000. So we had a great week. But what didn't add up is that you'd see the negotiations. And it's like, well, what do you want to get out of it? And the guy would say, well, I want to get $60K. And he'd say, well, I mean, if you want to get $60K out of it, then, you know, you. You know, I got to get 55 out of it or something like that.
Starting point is 00:10:09 And whatever. So you're not talking about, you know. A huge, yeah, a huge profit market. Unless you're really massively moving a ton of these things. Exactly. And so, I mean, say you make your 200K a week or whatever. Well, based off of a deal like that, that's, you know, 10, 15, 20K in profit. But now everybody's starting to drive exotic cars and my wife from.
Starting point is 00:10:35 Like episode three was like, nope, this guy's a fraud. And I was just, I was kind of like, you ever seen that show Entourage? Like, they were all, they just like race their cars. And it was like, I was just into the thing. I was just like, oh, they got, now he's got a Lamborghini. And now they're having all this fun. They're flying private. And she's like, the math is not mathing.
Starting point is 00:10:57 Right. Like, and she's like, he's going to go to jail, like from the beginning. And she's. Leave it to a, leave it to an accountant. They'd be like. I mean, but he put it out there for anybody to reverse engineer, like how, and at the time, he also had a partner named Marco Nicolini, who he, I've talked to him as well. I really don't believe that he had anything to do with, and apparently neither does the justice system, because they had, they parted ways shortly after, and then he had another crew that, um, The watch community is not happy with.
Starting point is 00:11:38 It was his cameraman and girlfriend who took over the business for a little bit or tried to start their own business. And his name was Darby. And I don't remember what her name was. But, I mean, every episode got more and more extravagant. I mean, this is her cameraman. Right. And you are surprising him with a brand new Corvette.
Starting point is 00:12:00 I mean, you've got a Lamborghini. Your partner's got a McClure. I mean, and there's no, there's no fucking way you're making this off of selling fucking watches. I mean, he was, and you get the most expensive penthouse in Dallas. And I mean, his whole thing, he, he eventually had, he started fabricating, uh, robberies to try to cover the losses. So he would make a, so what happens? So I put, I give you my watch and I say, hey, I want to get.
Starting point is 00:12:35 it 60 grand for it or something and then you've got to try and sell it for 70 so you can make 10 and you're holding it on consignment and then at some point i say listen man i just want my watchback it's been four months um i don't think you're really trying to sell it i probably do sell it on my own and then suddenly you say okay i'll send it to you tomorrow and then the next day you send me a text oh my gosh i was robbed last night it wasn't that it was actually more dramatic than that he'd say um i was careless and i had eight watches worth x amount of dollars in the back seat of my Audi and somebody broke the back window and took them all so he would claim like million dollar robberies right just to get some free cash to pay those people and maybe say your watch
Starting point is 00:13:24 was i mean who leaves that kind of stuff in the car you know what i mean especially if you got your your timepiece gentleman stickers all over it i mean that's anyway so well where are you going that was uh and then there was another really really big red flag um and it was a strange thing they were putting out this show every week and they're like something huge is coming this week yeah everybody stay tuned there's going to be something huge coming this week you just wait for it and then they just disabled their social media They turned off their website. They called it their media blackout.
Starting point is 00:14:06 Which was really, really weird because, again, you've got millions in other people's stuff. Yeah. And they thought that it was really cute that they came back and with a video of them all volunteering at soup kitchens and animal hospitals and giving away watches after they disappeared. But it's like, if I'm the guy who you have my. my $120,000 watch, you know, and I can't reach you and whatever. I don't care that you're at the
Starting point is 00:14:38 humane society. Yeah, it's not cute. Send me my shit back. Yeah, exactly. So people started freaking out then, and that's when it really kind of spiraled. He tried to, he just tried to be such a disruptor in the industry that they were just throwing whatever at the wall
Starting point is 00:14:55 and would see what sticks. And, uh, pretty much when the Ponzi scheme starts to. Book Club on Monday. Jim on Tuesday Date night on Wednesday Out on the town on Thursday Quiet night in on Friday It's good to have a routine
Starting point is 00:15:16 And it's good for your eyes too Because with regular comprehensive eye exams at Specsavers You'll know just how healthy they are Visit Spexavers.cavers.caiators.cai to book your next eye exam I exams provided by independent optometrists unravel, everybody says, hey, I want my stuff back? Yes. And you can't provide it?
Starting point is 00:15:35 Yes. And he did, he gets another DUI and a G-wagon. So I think this was number three. His whole thing is that I'm out of prison, I'm reformed, I'm sober. And as somebody that's sober, like I was like, I saw you got a DUI. Is everything cool? Are you still sober? And he sends me back.
Starting point is 00:15:59 Oh, yeah. good. I was like, I don't know what to make of that, but I've never gotten a DUI sober. But yeah. So he's, by this point, everything is not good. And one night while drinking, he decides to plead his case to the internet and i mean it very quickly gets deleted but every i mean tons of people have screen recordings of just this 10 minute video about how he's cracked under the pressure of all this stuff and he's been drinking and you talking to escorts and this and that and does he mention the wash of yeah he says he at this point i think think he says he owes two million dollars oh jesus yeah and and he can get it back but if everybody
Starting point is 00:16:59 would just get off his back he could have a little time because he's gonna he's gonna get so it's your fault you're pressuring me yeah yeah exactly everybody would stop and he that he did get cornered on a uh podcast with a couple of real heavy hitters in the industry and he just dug his heels in and said listen i spent a lot of money on advertising nobody wants to buy a watch from a guy in a jeep i had to get that Lamborghini as a company expense like sometimes you got to fake it till you make it and it's like yeah but you know do you and so colby's got a question so did do you know did he delete a bunch of videos like tell you oh yeah this weekly show because i'm looking at his youtube channel there's like there's like eight videos there's there's three from three
Starting point is 00:17:49 years ago and then there's like the last eight um i think probably the video that you're referencing he he said uh it's titled i finally hit rock bottom five million in debt that's oh oh so he did say five million that time okay yeah um yes that's it he's in like a green wife be yeah yeah yeah and and then um it looks like and they're probably posted by other people because he wiped his account okay so whatever's up there was a weekly show yeah because on his channel now there's only like 10 videos oh yeah no he had he had probably definitely hundreds and then it'd be like if if your channel just went down to like three videos and then Matt's like I didn't take anything down and then after what was the what was the
Starting point is 00:18:31 feedback from that video where he's like hey I'm in debt like I'm going to try to make it right people were losing their minds and uh he had I mean but that was pulled down the next morning well it's up it's up right now I think oh yeah I guess at this point he's in jail I'll put it It looks like from the YouTube channel, and you may or may not know some of this, is he tried to do like a Road to Redemption series. Yes, yes, that's right. He did. It's like day one, and it's only five days where it starts off of $5,000.
Starting point is 00:19:01 Because people, he was getting heckled so bad, the people, he just couldn't do it. It was like, oh, so day one, yeah, so how I'm going to make this money back. And it's just him calling people. Hey, you know me, you trust me. Like, let me sell that watch. for you like whatever like you know i wouldn't do you wrong and then i'm going to use the profit from that and we're going to whatever we're going to hustle back from the beginning you're going to hustle up five million dollars yeah by by getting people to send you watches that you've already
Starting point is 00:19:32 admitted who know that you don't pay people that's delusion yeah he he was he was gone at that point and you're clearly a drunk so i'm going to send drunk a drunk thief i'm going to send him additional, you know, like how Mr. Beast, like, it was just so apparent the way he gave everything away. Like, every episode was like, oh, you know, first we're going to work out with my, a day in the life. We're going to drive my, my Lamborghini to my personal trainer. And I've been hanging, and, you know, I mean, he was jacked. He was like a little Mark Wahlberg, want to be. And he, uh, he'd do his workout and then he'd be like, oh,
Starting point is 00:20:14 this is for you, throw him a watch after Daniel Mac, he met him back up and said, hey, I just had a serious deal. I mean, that's $10,000, $10,000, $15,000 that you're just giving away to people. So, I mean, it was, yeah, it was, it was, it was just for, I think he thought that if he got famous enough, the fame would outweigh the fraud. like if he became a celebrity and then got some billionaire to stake him at a Beverly because he left Texas and he went to Beverly Hills to open up in the most expensive building or whatever in Beverly Hills and moved into some crazy penthouse where you know
Starting point is 00:21:00 celebrities have lived and whatever and by that point it was it was over yeah it's a recipe for disaster the sad part is that he made good content and he could have made a nice living for himself and still been selling watches maintained his reputation Marco his partner is still out there selling watches and he has a good reputation
Starting point is 00:21:26 I mean I've talked to him and yeah people still trust Marco Darby the videographer who got the Corvette people in the industry and I can't comment either way, say he knows more, say that he, I mean, and I don't know how clawbacks and things like that work, but I mean, you got a Corvette from somebody that stole money.
Starting point is 00:21:51 Right. I mean, it depends on the, it just depends on what, how far the, the government wants to go into it, you know, sometimes the government will, if it's readily available, they can pull it back, but if the guy's going to argue, you know, so a lot of Ponzi schemes, people won't realize is, let's say I'm one of the original investors and I put in 100,000 and I end up over the next three years getting out 300,000. A lot of people think, oh, man, you're lucky. You were pulling your money out. You got 300,000. Once the Ponzi scheme collapses, the government will come in and say, you put in 100,000. You got back 300,000. And you're like, right? They're like,
Starting point is 00:22:29 we want the 300,000. And you go, no, no, no, no. And we'll split it up with everybody else. everybody else and you go no no no at the very least i'm keeping my hundred thousand yeah and they'll go no no that money went into the pool with everybody else's it gets divvied up just like everybody else's give us the money back now most people are so scared of the government that they go okay and they give them the money but what what happens is if you sit there and say no i haven't done anything wrong i was unaware with the ponzi scheme i'm not going to be a victim of the ponzi scheme i'm going to be a victim of the Ponzi scheme, I'm going to give you back maybe 200,000. And a lot of people, if they get a lawyer and they start fighting it, the government
Starting point is 00:23:10 will come in and be like, okay, we'll just take the 200. You can argue with them and say, I'm keeping this. And look, there are people that keep even more than the 300,000. I mean, more than the original 100,000 because they're like, no, I spent the money. I got this. I've done this. I'm not selling off all my stuff. I'm not.
Starting point is 00:23:26 And so you end up negotiating, you know, 180. I'll get, you know, I'll give you, I'll give you back 120,000. I'm keeping 180. And you negotiate that. You argue, but most people just, they start selling, oh, I'll sell my house. I'll do this. I'll do that. It's like, absolutely not.
Starting point is 00:23:44 I'm not going to do all that. And there's really no, nothing for you to do unless you want to try and sue me civilly because I'm not a part of the criminal investigation. Right. You know, or the criminal case. Right, right, right. You want to sue me civilly. You want to go in front of a jury and say that I'm a 72-year-old person and that the government's trying to
Starting point is 00:23:59 take my house and everything. To steal $400,000 from him? of me. You're trying to make me a victim. I'm lucky I'm not a victim. Now you're making me a victim. So what ends up happening is they just negotiate. And that's what typically happens. But people don't realize they just think, oh, well, yeah, you're one of the lucky ones. You know, usually you're not one. Usually people hand over all their money and then they get back $14,000. And they're like, oh, you know, poor me. And you know, you don't have to do that. But yeah, there was a clawback where you would think the government, if they wanted to, they could
Starting point is 00:24:30 go to the guy Marco and say, look, this guy sold you that vehicle for $10,000. That's a, that's a $150,000 Corvette. He sold to you for $10,000 because he was desperate. What was a part of this and we want the money back? And of course, they'll always threaten you, you know, or we're going to indict you for this. And that, you know, if he's smart, he says, look, I didn't know anything. The guy came to me. I gave him 10 grand.
Starting point is 00:24:53 I don't give a shit. I'm keeping the fucking thing. Sue me civilly. Yeah. Most people wouldn't do that because they don't know any better. like to me i'd do that i'd be like go fuck yourself because i understand how how it works and i understand i'm going to argue about this i'm not in trouble i've been done anything right right and then they then they'd be like well could you what could you give us and then suddenly oh now but don't threaten
Starting point is 00:25:15 you first so uh yeah so that's why he's got the car yeah the thing the thing about the victims here is there's not a lot of sympathy for people with $120,000 watches i know you know what that's sad you know i'm just saying like but no so i mean seriously like these some of these people and i i never think of a a watch as an investment when i buy it like i just think i like it i like it for this price i got some i've made money on i've got some i'm upside down in um but you know it just is what it is and it's not my it's not a retirement fund just like a car there's people who like cars there's people i like i like watches and cars that's pretty much it and uh other than that i'm a pretty simple guy.
Starting point is 00:26:00 So what, did you, did you ever, you ever do a deal with, you did one with, did you do with the partner? Prior, well,
Starting point is 00:26:08 no, prior to him calling himself the timepiece gentleman, Anthony Ferrer, as the gentleman's name, had, had done a deal with me. Yes,
Starting point is 00:26:22 and that actually went well. Okay. Mm-hmm. What, so what happened after that once he, oh, again he changed his name to time peace gentleman then he got on the daniel mac thing and then he didn't even know who i was anymore okay i mean it was small time three or four k um you know and yeah
Starting point is 00:26:41 the rest is history but he got his now i guess there's no way to do this without bringing up other allegations about him at some point i don't know who confirmed this or whatever in the reddit when he got out of jail one of the times and he was working at the a night club or something he was also giving massages and uh yeah i don't know do we can look that let's look that he he addressed it at some point like he was like he was he was he was all shredded and jacked and he's like i'll come to your house and massage you or something and he he addressed it at some point i remember he was like you know the most embarrassing thing in my life that I didn't want to get out
Starting point is 00:27:31 has just been out and we've all got a past you know whatever so I don't know I didn't get a massage from him that's not the deals we did this is on Reddit yeah that's right out with a grain of salt but this is the title best watch drama
Starting point is 00:27:50 is Anthony Farrier Farrier Faireer getting exposed as a homosexual masseuse who finances watch flipping business by stroking off guys in Dallas he addressed it he said that he didn't want it getting out and this is probably in one of those deleted videos uh yeah i'm sure yeah yeah again i don't i don't have a lot of information on that part of the business but um yeah he he so that was before his you know quote unquote downfall right before he got in trouble well that was way before like by the time he had money
Starting point is 00:28:24 I don't think even giving rub-downs is enough to make $5 million. I'm just a jerking anybody off after that. Well, thank God. Because that's the first thing. Most people quit their jerk off job. Well, thank you. What's your favorite at Thanksgiving when they said, what are you most thankful for?
Starting point is 00:28:43 He said, well, I don't have to jerk anybody off anymore. I've still enough watches. There's no more. This Reddit page is called Watches Circle Jerk. It was posted on. I don't know. But yeah, that's crazy. Did you read the comments for the Tom Simon's video we did with the woman,
Starting point is 00:29:07 who the guy kind of, the guy went up to her and was masturbating next to her. And some woman was like, you know, because we were laughing about it. And, you know, it was, she was giving us hell in the comments talking about how the lack of, your lack of concern for that woman. And there was just, oh, for God's sakes. I don't even know what happened. We're just having fun. You know, this guy didn't touch her.
Starting point is 00:29:30 He went and sat next to this chick, this chick on a plane and started, you know, taking pictures of her and yanking it. She got up. She obviously was though she got up and went told the stewardess, hey, there's an issue here, this guy, you know. But people were upset because we weren't upset for her. I'm upset for her. How much time do you think of someone like that gets on the airplane for doing like that? Like, if you see an attractive woman, you go. go up to her you tell her she's pretty did she see her did she see anything yeah she's she's
Starting point is 00:29:58 he's no i mean but is it like under a blanket or is it just out because i think it was i think that makes a difference yeah i think he's under one point he does cover himself up because somebody clearly sees it and then he sees them watching him and he puts his covers it my does he have priors no i'm just asking i'm trying to make a guess it's federal by the way too because it's in the air Oh, yeah. The FBI is in control of the end. I would say he probably does three years. What do you get?
Starting point is 00:30:26 Five, five days? Yeah, I think 90 days was the maximum. Why just survive back to school when you can thrive by creating a space that does it all for you, no matter the size. Whether you're taking over your parents' basement or moving to campus, IKEA has hundreds of design ideas
Starting point is 00:30:43 and affordable options to complement any budget. After all, you're in your small space era. It's time to own it Shop now at IKEA.ca. He got like almost nothing. Maybe it was a long flight. Like a $5,000 fine and... No, it was a short flight.
Starting point is 00:31:03 It was like Chicago to a PA or something. I was going to China. I mean, you know... It was probably a bunch of people. It's a bunch of people. Yeah, one of the comments were like, it was so, like the flight was so short he couldn't win or something.
Starting point is 00:31:17 I couldn't finish. are so much worse. Yeah, so, yeah, but none of these guys, you know, got any real time. There's a bunch of them that were doing stuff like this. None of them really got any time. Well, they didn't get the kind of time that old Anthony here gets. Yes, yeah. So he's, so how much of that will he have to serve?
Starting point is 00:31:37 Well, people don't even know what he's been sentenced to. Yeah, we're not there yet. So here's the thing. So $5.6 million. So first of all, how long was he doing this to, pissed through 5.6 million how long was he doing it uh probably he i think that he did it for about five years total and when marco split off um was when he started to see the red flags and i think he treaded water for another two to three years and that brings us to today yeah it was at least
Starting point is 00:32:12 documented on youtube for at least three years yeah wow so 5.6 million over the course of five years max yeah and there was a lot of uh a long time between like tons of angry investors and him just going on live streams every day i don't know if he was intoxicated or what but he was like and the people are like you're going to go to jail he's like i'm not going to jail because i'm fixing it i'm a road to redemption that's how it works dude that how it works yeah the uh so his last video he um you know he talks about how he's going to make the money back or try to and he's going to work on a different industry and i just wouldn't have to work off every single guy in his sake yeah yeah the most recent comment is like it looks like your newest your newest industry is prison or
Starting point is 00:33:03 something like that is was the most recent comment he's got the skill set oh my gosh he's he's still if he's still jerking people off he'll be he'll be uh very popular so So what do he get sentenced to? He got sentenced to 70 months, which is just shy of six years. Which honestly surprises me because that's a substantial amount of money. And he has been to prison. I mean, I know he's done over a year before at least once. So every, the federal system, every felony you have is a different criminal history.
Starting point is 00:33:46 Right. As long as it's a different event, like let's say I get arrested for breaking into a store. And so I get, you know, burglary and then you get two or three charges. And let's say all three of them are felonies. But that's one event. Like you say, oh, that's three felonies at three different criminal history levels. It's not. It's one event. So for every, every new event that you have, they, as long as there's a certain period of time separating them, like if it's a spree, like a crime spree where you, you, you went on a crime spree and you robbed or you you stole five cars over the course of three days they'll consider that spree right but whatever there's a significant amount of time between these sentences which i'm assuming one DUI and then six months later another DUI and then three months later they're going to say each one of those is a different unless it were consolidated so every criminal history every felony he has for a new DUI is going to be a different criminal history level so if you're saying he's been arrested. He's probably got three felonies. He's probably in criminal history three or four.
Starting point is 00:34:49 You could have used a judge like his. I mean, you had not much criminal history. He took, what? Two, three times what he took and got way longer than two or three times what he got? Oh, yeah. No. No, without a doubt, I did not get
Starting point is 00:35:05 I didn't think I got that fair or shake. But, so he's got, he ends up with $5.6 million. He's in criminal, probably in criminal history, three or four. That's a problem. Like every criminal history that you go up bumps your time up. Because I knew a guy that had no felony conviction that got, I think he stole like three and a half million dollars.
Starting point is 00:35:28 And he ended up getting like, I think it was just shy of three years. And he complained the entire fucking time about like you stole three and a half million dollars. You have to do three years. Like that's not, to me that's not a bad gig. To me, that sentence that he got is fair. Million bucks a year. million bucks well yeah a million a year
Starting point is 00:35:46 yeah that seems fair to me you know so I mean think about it most people they keep in mind they say oh he's got to pay that back what does it matter you go on he goes on probation for two years and maybe he's got to pay
Starting point is 00:35:58 two or three hundred dollars a month for two years and then when he's off he can just say go fuck off and now he still owes the money he's got a judgment but there's no way for them to really collect it unless he ever buys a house and then and then sells the house
Starting point is 00:36:11 and then it's got to be something that's titled for them to collect on it. So he may never pay that back, and he may get out of prison and live a decent life. Most people out there, if you're making $60 or $70,000 a year,
Starting point is 00:36:25 and you went to somebody and said, look, would you go to prison for three years for $3 million? Now, you're going to owe the $3 million, but you don't actually have to make the payments. Now, if you ever buy a house and go to sell it later and you're supposed to make some money on it,
Starting point is 00:36:39 then you have to pay whatever profit over to the $3 million. They would say, I'll go to prison for three years for three million. Most people would do that. You wouldn't do that, but most people aren't in your position. Right.
Starting point is 00:36:50 Most, the average American would probably say three years for three million. You really think so? Yeah, absolutely. Listen, if you're in the comments, let me know. I'll bet you people in the comments are like, hell yeah, I'll do. That's a ton of money. But it's not free and clear.
Starting point is 00:37:06 You still can't, like, really spend it the way you want. What do you mean you can't spend it the way you want? Like you said you can't title things. You have to pay it back or something. Well, I mean, so you're, so you just rent indefinite, I guess, I don't know. If I had three million, yeah, you could rent or if you have $3 million, I'm going to figure out how to buy a house. I could buy it. First of all, I got cashed.
Starting point is 00:37:24 I could buy it in whatever I want to buy it. That's true. Oh, okay, okay, that's fair. Right. Okay, yeah, yeah, my name. That got you. I got you. I got you.
Starting point is 00:37:31 Listen, you know what I mean, guys, I know that went to prison, oh money, went to prison, and the money is in their mom's name. I was always going to, how they got a house. All you got a house. It's my baby mom's name. I'm saying like Jordan Belfort never paid back his restitution. I think he was like $100 million. But is he, I mean, he's got that. So I guess that's how he's working at.
Starting point is 00:37:50 No, keep in mind too, Belfort, what he did was he didn't make any money on the Wolf of Wall Street. He then wrote a second book called The Way of the Wolf. It was like catching the Wolf of Wall Street. So then he wrote that. No, you're talking about the sales book. he also wrote the sales book so he ended up working out a deal where he's making payments to them but also a lot of things that he did was he would have his so the government at one point went because what he did was at one point when the wolf of wall street got big he was investigated by um inside
Starting point is 00:38:29 edition yeah yeah like australia or something they ran up on him not just that it was another it was the american version where he's walking through like a they were following him whatever i saw I think I saw the same thing as you. I saw the one you're talking about like the six minutes. I just remember he's just getting into like a Porsche 9-11 and they're like banging on the windows. Yeah, they catch him in the airport and they kind of ambush him with one of his, one of his former victims. And, you know, he's living in a $3 million house. He's playing tennis every day.
Starting point is 00:38:58 He's driving around in a $200,000, you know, sports car or something. And they, he's flying in private jets. They're like, hey, what are you charging now? You know, we heard you're charging $30,000 for every time you do one of these courses. And he goes, well, now he said it's up to $80,000. So he's all being. Yeah, they're like, okay, but you still owe $102 million in restitution. And he's like, oh, I, and then he kind of bolts.
Starting point is 00:39:25 He tries to take off on him. So, you know, the thing is is that a lot of the stuff that he was doing, he would do in his, which I think he recently got married, but in his girlfriend's name. So his girlfriend owns this. So my girlfriend's managing me. And so he gets a fee and they pay her management company and then he gets a fee. And then they take a small amount of whatever percent he pays himself from her or whatever. Which is in a bad position for him to be in because if anything ever goes wrong,
Starting point is 00:39:54 she's the one who's making all the money. You know, she's the one who's got control of the money. Yeah, I don't know. I feel like if I was flying private and stuff, I'd really just want to chip away at the restitution. really do. No, no, I would think you would want to pay something, but he's probably realizes he's never going to pay that off. So he could work the rest of his life to pay off restitution and then die a palper. Yeah. Or he has to juggle some thing so that he can die and have at least a reasonable retirement. You know, that's really what he's probably thinking
Starting point is 00:40:25 is I need to be able to retire in some reasonable fashion. So timepiece gentleman's going to come out and I'll 5.6 million? And start again. You think you start? said um the article said the restitution has yet to be determined so i don't know like would it just be 5.6 if that's what they said they stole yeah at some point it kept growing i mean it's been growing since i heard it was the first articles were two million dollars then whatever so well what happens with restitution is once you're in that position and you're at that you're just fighting your the sentence right so you're going hey i just need to get as few as you're little time in prison as possible.
Starting point is 00:41:07 So what happens is people out there might start saying hey, they're calculating the restitution. You know what? I sent him an $80,000 Rolex and he, and I never heard from it. And they'll say, well, then the government will do this. $80,000. Can you send us an affidavit?
Starting point is 00:41:24 Sure. A notarized affidavit saying that's true. Absolutely. And somebody gets it and they go, all they do is say, yeah, this is what I sent him, never heard from him. He didn't respond to my texts, my emails. and then somebody notarizes it, and guess what? Now you're a part of his restitution, you owe $80,000. That's messed up, though. For the people who really didn't get paid, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:41:43 You know. It is messed up, but the government isn't really concerned about restitution, and they're not really concerned about the people that you owe, and they're not really concerned about accurately gauging what you owe, because the most prosecutors, no matter how much time they give you, they have such a, I'm a good person, and you're evil, and I want to give you as much time as possible. That's how, there are, I'm sure, exceptions.
Starting point is 00:42:09 Most of them aren't thinking reasonably. Well, especially on a high profile. If it's in the news, like, let's be serious. If you're a prosecutor in California or wherever, you want to get this famous guy, this famous guy who ripped watches off of celebrities and whatever. I mean, you're just trying to get your name in the headlines as much as possible so you can be
Starting point is 00:42:34 attorney general or whatever and indict Trump later. Right. You know, or whatever. Did we have that on the interview we did the other day where I talked about how my prosecutor, like, well, listen, like she wanted me to get as much time as possible.
Starting point is 00:42:49 Yeah, she hated you. Yeah. So she literally, I had been, I'd had like a home invasion. Like, this is just for an example. I had a homeowner's insurance. I had homeowners insurance. So I claimed on my homeowners insurance.
Starting point is 00:43:02 Well, the policy, policy limits, right? So most people don't realize how their insurance works until they get wrong. Are you talking about the home invasion we were talking about where your watches got taken? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So remember you said you had stopped it and seen that I had all these watches Yeah. Matt had a Rolex Submariner. He had a stainless Rolex Explorer and he had a Cartier watch. Right. He didn't know that, but I didn't know. I remember that. But I knew I knew it was a few Rolexes. So what happened is when you go to claim for your your homeowner's policy, when you go to claim against your homeowner's policy for a burglary, what ends up happening is this. Most people are like, oh, my two TVs got stolen, my computer got stolen that they add, they just write it all down.
Starting point is 00:43:48 They think I'm going to get, they're going to give me a check for $20,000, less $500 my deductible. What happens is they come back and they'll go, okay, well, you told like your two computers. were $35 a total of $6,000. And your two TVs, that was another $2,000 and your, you know, this is how old I am, your VCR, you know, whatever, or your, they took your VCR? No, no, but your disk, but you're whatever. So you add it all up and you're like, okay, that's $12,000. They go, yeah, for electronics, we only pay up to $5,000.
Starting point is 00:44:21 And they pay nothing on your jewelry. Oh, okay, well, I don't know. There's jewelry insurance specifically for that. Okay. Well, usually on most, well, at least, or a very low amount. Very low. It's low. They're not going to give you your $10,000 that your Rolex was. I'll tell you that. They wanted to give us like $2,500. So when I realized that, I got the policy limits before I contacted that. I said, I want a policy limit, see what my policy limits are. So I realized, okay, we can't tell them we had this much jewelry because they're only going to give us $2,500. We can't tell them this. So we pulled out the policy limits and I said, okay, guns. we can get up to $5,000 for guns. So give me the names of some guns. So we started writing down guns, right? One of it was like an AR-15.
Starting point is 00:45:07 Even knowing that you're going to be a felon in possession of this stuff down the room. Well, I didn't know that. I hadn't been arrested. Yeah. Oh, I hadn't been arrested. This was before I got arrested. So. So- I thought you were on the run already.
Starting point is 00:45:20 I was on the run, but I was living as- But you'd been arrested before that. All right, go ahead. Never been arrested? Joseph Carter, who the insurance company thought I was. You were, okay, I got it. Joseph Carter, who the insurance company thought I was, had never been arrested. He's not a felon.
Starting point is 00:45:34 Okay. And this is going through the insurance. I'm sorry. I was talking to the person I'm talking to. No, no. Not Joseph Carter. Matt Cox on the run. So I'm Joseph Carter.
Starting point is 00:45:41 Okay. Sorry. I'm filling out a police report. So I list, you know, AR 15, two handgun. So we come to a little bit above the 25,000 or the $5,000, whatever it came to. Same thing we did with the jewelry. Same thing. Like we literally were maxing out, almost maxing out.
Starting point is 00:45:57 Sometimes we're a little. bugs. Sometimes we're a little bit less. Yeah. But in the end, we'll get it up to about 30 grand. So at least I can get back what I've, close to what I recouped. Had I given them what really was taken, they'd give me a check for six grand. Yeah. Instead, I'm trying to get up to the 30. Right. These people also took, by the way, cash, they would give us up to $1,000 in cash. So these people took like $30 grand in cash. So anyway, so we max everything out. Now, here's the thing. I get arrested by the Secret Service before I ever submit this policy or even submit this. I have the I have the claims form filled out they get the claims form they read the claims form
Starting point is 00:46:35 when I go to debrief with the Secret Service the U.S. attorney says oh I'm sorry I got charged with a gun with a it was called it's called constructive possession so it's a felon someone has someone else has it and or it's in the car or whatever what they're saying is Mr. Cox owned a firearm that he had his girlfriend purchased for him. Now, that's not true. I never had a firearm. These firearms are all made up. She did have a firearm that had been stolen, which was hers, which she had in a childproof gun safe.
Starting point is 00:47:14 I'd never seen it. I never touched it. Well, I did see it, but I never touched it. And so I argue I want to go to trial because all she has to do is get on the stand, and she'll say that I told her, one, not to buy the gun. Two, I didn't think it should be in the house. As she had a kid, and if she was insisted on it, she should get a gun safe, which she did. I saw it when she came home.
Starting point is 00:47:36 I saw the weapon. I saw her put in the safe. I didn't even have the combination of the safe. Right. So I explained the other weapons. So I explained this to the U.S. attorney. The other weapons are complete fabricated. You can ask her.
Starting point is 00:47:49 The AR-15, we just made up because I know they were selling at that time for like $1,500. We were trying to hit the maximum, that we were maxing. out the policy. I explained it to her. She goes, okay, that's fine. I understand. She said, makes perfect sense. No problem. Just insurance, run. Yeah, no problem. I'm already fucking facing a ton of, I got 20 felony. Felonies. So what does it matter? So she goes, okay, no problem. Now keep in mind. This is, she knows this. They've dropped the charges. She knows it's all bullshit. She knows I didn't have any of these weapons. She knows my, talk to my girlfriend. She corroborated everything that I said. Agrees. No, he never had that weapon, never this. Never touched
Starting point is 00:48:26 the weapon. My handgun, which is no longer even there, never even touched it. She says all the U.S. attorney knows that. I go to sentencing. The U.S. attorney gets in front of the judge and says Mr. Cox was on the run for three years committing fraud. And Mr. Cox was in possession of, she says, a fully automatic AR-15, which isn't even an automatic, fully automatic weapon. Well, not legally. If they're a Marine. Right. So she says he's in charge, he has a fully automatic, had a fully automatic AR-15. You had two handguns. He had his girlfriend. Says all of this. She knows to fuck it. That's all a fucking lie. But that's the kind of thing that the U.S. attorney will do. It's like, I'm already looking at 26 years and you're going to
Starting point is 00:49:15 lie to give me more time. Try and get me more time. Like, that's the kind of just, and I wish I could say, oh, well, she's the exception. No, she's the normal U.S. attorney. Yeah. The exceptions are the ones where they say, like I had a buddy one time who literally his criminal history was off the chart. This kid had been arrested. He was probably 22, 23 years old. I want to say his name was Jeremy Kitchen. I don't know why I remember this. I remember his co-definant was named Michael Seagraves. Michael Seagraves was cooperating against James. Michael Seagraves was cooperating against Jeremy's father. What?
Starting point is 00:49:56 And Jeremy and they were in the same cell. And of course, Seagraves the whole time to say he's not, he's not cooperating. Right. He knew he was. Oh, that's horrible. The point is, is that when Jeremy, Jeremy literally was looking at like 25 years.
Starting point is 00:50:09 That's what his PSR said. His pre-sentence, sorry, his pre-sentence for words said like 20, 20, 20, 25 years. Mm-hmm. When he went in front of the judge, he told the judge, one, he the U.S. attorney wanted Jeremy to testify against his father
Starting point is 00:50:29 he wouldn't do it he's like absolutely not he's my dad I'll do the 25 years like wow little gangster right his dad's selling he's the biggest
Starting point is 00:50:37 dealer in the area they've got him his dad's getting like a life sentence he's going to trial he's going to trial just because he's thinking maybe I'll win something yeah yeah I might as well go
Starting point is 00:50:47 you guys are offering me 45 years they're offering him 45 years and he's like oh go to trial C grade is going to testify there's like 10 guys going to tell he's done the the u.s. attorney saying we want his son to do it now his son says fuck you i'm not doing it and so the
Starting point is 00:51:01 u.s attorney comes back and he goes look i have enough people i don't really need you i could be a dick and give you the 25 years but the truth is when i look at your PSI you're a drug addict every one of your felonies is drug you're selling low you're a low level drug dealer who's trying to support his habit. That's why your criminal history is off the chart. He's, I'm going to do your favor, Jeremy, because I feel bad for you. And I feel bad about your father, and I know your family's been devastated by meth. And I know this whole thing. He's like, I'm going to do you a favor. He's like, because I'm not a bad guy. He said, when we get in front of the judge, I'm going to tell the judge, I think you should be sentenced to, you know, in the first category one, instead of category
Starting point is 00:51:46 seven, which is off the chart. He's like, because the truth is, you're just a judge. dealer, just a drug addict. You're not even a drug dealer because we've never caught you with anything. So does he do it? He did it. The kid got 10 years. Right.
Starting point is 00:51:59 He had to get 10 years because the mandatory minimum was 10 years for what he had in the conspiracy. He's like, but Jeremy, he's like, you know, he told me he was going to do this. And I remember thinking my lawyer was like, he's going to do it, but the truth is the judge could still give you 25 fucking years. Got the judge given the 10 years too? Even the 10 years. When he came back, he was like, I can't fucking believe.
Starting point is 00:52:20 I'm getting 10 years. The other thing about Jeremy was this is what killed me. He was the guy, remember me? And I'll stop talking. He was the guy that told me, he was the first person that I remember hearing. He kept saying, and I just want to go to fucking prison. I just want to go to prison. I just want to go to prison.
Starting point is 00:52:37 Because he'd been to prison. Yeah. He'd been to prison. No, no, because we were in Union City County Jail. It was hell. And he, everybody, it was, we were miserable. Like, literally the windows that they had. had, they had these thin windows that they had painted over from the outside.
Starting point is 00:52:55 I mean, it was pitch black. They were barely in the lights worked. Like, we were, it was like a dungeon in there. And I kept saying, bro, why do you keep saying you want to go to prison? And I was like, is it prison going to be worse than this? And he goes, are you serious? He goes, bro, the first day you're in prison, he goes, I'll be walking the track. I'm going to have a pint of ice cream.
Starting point is 00:53:16 I'm going to be able to take a hot fucking shower. He said, I'm going to, he said, I'm going to have a soup. I'm going to eat he said prison is amazing compared to this because you're going to love prison oh so you were in county I was in county oh oh oh see that's all I've ever seen oh yeah so I remember thinking that's insane but then of course you go to prison you're like oh I want to get I want to be sentenced as quick as possible I want to go to prison like that's but he was the first person I remember kept saying that he kept saying it so anyway but I'm saying the prosecutors are horrific They're horrid. They can be horrible people. My wife has a friend who's a public defender. And or she was a public defender now.
Starting point is 00:54:01 She has her own firm. But she said the amount of people who just didn't have the right legal representation that were completely innocent, but just ended up arrested. And then the cops, like, found the evidence to make it stick. Right. They couldn't properly articulate themselves. I mean, there's so many people sitting behind bars, and it's, I don't know. The system's messed up. I don't think it's so much that there's innocent people as much as it's that maybe you're
Starting point is 00:54:34 guilty of something, but you pled guilty and you got a ridiculous. The amount of time they're given away to people is outrageous. Like the idea that I think per the sentencing guidelines, $5.6 million in getting six years for a guy that's got been who who was as egregious as this guy i think per the sentencing guidelines that's fair that's where he found that that's definitely fair what he got that's per the guidelines if you said matt look on a what do you think is fair as far as society and what would be most beneficial for society i think this guy gets he gets two years and you put him on an ankle monitor i disagree you see what i'm saying like i disagree and i'm not a i think that you were
Starting point is 00:55:19 way over sentenced, but to take people's money, to flaunt, but you didn't see the videos. You didn't see the videos. He just flaunted it and everybody's faces and he got this huge ego. And I mean, that's what really, really upset people in general. And it hurt the whole watch community because this guy is the most prominent. He's the face of the industry. Right. So now you've got these other guys who are shooting more boring shows.
Starting point is 00:55:52 Hey, I've got here this reference 2213, and, you know, they're not cool like him. They're not jacked. They don't have tattoos. Well, now people are calling in them like it's a stock panic. And they're like, I need my watchback thinking like everybody's out there doing it. Right. So, I mean. But for money to go to jail for five or six years over money, like I think if he got two or three years
Starting point is 00:56:14 and then you put them on five years paper and watch him. That's fair. you know what I'm saying you watch him because to me it's like you could like and then there's some guy who will do a home invasion or or you know somebody will you know somebody ends up dying and they get you know 15 or gears and it's like are you serious like you've given this guy six and you're giving this guy 10 and it's like I don't know it's just uh and as an addict myself I have I have a soft spot for it so but the lack of remorse in the it was started out as an apology that's the name of it and it's so you know it's your fault for wanting your money back it's you guys it's this it's that i mean and then to continually go on these uh it's like a four split screen with a bunch of other watch dealers and they're like hey i you know you you owe me money and and i'll get it for you i don't oh i haven't not paid you yet And he's like, but you haven't paid me yet.
Starting point is 00:57:19 But I haven't not paid you yet. And it's like, dude, you're where? But I'm going to pay you. Yeah, he's a jackass. I mean, if you're a jackass and yeah, he stole money, but, you know, I don't know five. I don't know that five or six years does him any good. I don't think it does these other people. Maybe the point is, is get him out of prison, let him start making a restitution.
Starting point is 00:57:39 He's already done one or two years. What? He's already done two years before. Oh, for the DUIs. For whatever it was before. I think you ran from the cops. and got a DUI. I mean,
Starting point is 00:57:48 obviously didn't change his mindset. Yeah, but how long can you keep locking people up for it? You can't just keep a lot every time you lock it up, this time 10 years, this time 20 years. I just don't know what the answer is.
Starting point is 00:57:59 How long do you think he needs to be locked up for him to have maybe like a dose of humility? Yeah, yeah, like maybe I think three years and you put them on strict probation. That's what I'd agree with that. Because let's face it,
Starting point is 00:58:12 then it's like if you give him like an ankle monitor and say, look, you're going to work, you get to go to work the gym grocery store and to church that's where you're going and you're spending all your time that like you're walking around with that ankle monitor that's a dose of humility and guess what you're not and we're approving where you live we get to see all of your checks you get a regular job for a guy like that that's hell yeah i'm working the w2 job making
Starting point is 00:58:37 65 000 or maybe worse i can't even get that job i'm making 45 000 i'm living in someone's he'd be he'd be a personal trainer you're a perfect guy you're personal trainer so okay even then if he did that that's fine you can go to the gym and back but even still you're walking around with this ankle monitor it's embarrassing it's oh yeah i bet as opposed to you going for six years get out you're maybe on paper for a year or two they're not really watching you that much you know you know one one of the things that i wonder is when his watches that he stole and sold to other people are going to start popping up because like for example you know how we were just talking about jewelry insurance.
Starting point is 00:59:16 I have this watch. This is a Rolex Submariner. You have that band on a Submariner. It's beautiful. You want to put it? No, I would like a nice, a nice band.
Starting point is 00:59:28 You have a nice band. That's a nice band. Well, that's why I'm wearing this one right now. When I want to wear this one, I wear this one. The serial number is aligned. Like, I've, here's a good story. I had a friend whose dad is a very successful mortgage broker.
Starting point is 00:59:43 and he's gifted his son, a couple of Rolexes. And Rolexes are like German cars. They don't work really well. Right. And they break and they need serviced. They don't keep great time. They don't keep great time. It takes a special type of person.
Starting point is 01:00:07 But they're a pleasure to drive. Exactly. You know, it's beautiful. And so, there you Rolex now does not tell you what they're going to charge you
Starting point is 01:00:19 when they service it you have first thing you have to do is get it back to factory so if you got the diamonds and the bustown and whatever they won't take that they just won't take it back they'll say get it back to stock so I'd have to put my stainless steel
Starting point is 01:00:33 bracelet back on here and whatever and then I'd send it back to them and then they will decide what it needs and invoice me when it gets back in six to eight weeks So my friend was going to take his Rolex to the local authorized dealer, Rolex store, and have it sent off to be serviced because it wasn't keeping time. For a limited time at McDonald's, enjoy the tasty breakfast trio.
Starting point is 01:00:58 Your choice of chicken or sausage McMuffin or McGrittles with a hash brown and a small iced coffee for five bucks plus tax. Available until 11 a.m. at participating McDonald's restaurants. Price excludes flavored iced coffee and delivery. and he got a panicked call as he was walking in from his dad and said don't take it there don't take it there take it to a private jeweler oh his dad knew it was stolen i think that there might have been an insurance claim where he he might have lost it for a little bit and uh whatever so uh so i hooked them up with my guy
Starting point is 01:01:31 who would uh who would but um so at some point i mean these watches are going to start popping up. Yeah. And then it's like, what happens then? Because if you send a roll, like, you know, these high-end people, they're not using, you know, quick fast in the mall to service their Rolex. Right. So if you, if you, if you send it back to Rolex, they're going to call the store.
Starting point is 01:02:01 And when you come to pick it up, there's going to be a police officer there waiting for you saying, hey, we've had a conflict. This watch has been reported stolen. What? Yeah. That's crazy. That's the reaction. I'm just giving you the reaction.
Starting point is 01:02:14 That's what you do. Oh, yeah, exactly. You do the, I mean, and, but some of those people won't be, I mean, I bought this from Timepiece, gentlemen. Here's where I sent the money. And I don't know what's going to happen then. They'll take the watch. Yeah, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:02:28 You're losing your watch. Having and being in possession of stolen property, you can't say, well, no, I legally paid for now, now, to stolen people. We're giving it back to the, that's between you and who you bought it from. Yeah. Well, that guy's in jail already. Well, good. Well, now you should be surprised.
Starting point is 01:02:42 Yeah, now you sit in an affidavit. You'll be a part of his institution. Yeah, so I don't know if his watches have started popping up yet or not, but, yeah. You think he'll get out and try and do this again the right way? Or you think he knows he's, you think he's blown his credibility? Yeah, I mean, we can talk about whatever you want. But yeah, I think he's shot. I don't think anybody would ever, he can't get a real estate license now,
Starting point is 01:03:04 which is how he made his money the first time. Right. You can't get nobody else saw him, let him sell. anything now on contingency right and yeah he's a I think he's done I think he's done I think he's done I think he's a washed up YouTube celeb well I think I think speaking from the perspective of a washed up YouTube love I think he's got he we're never you don't have the makings to be washed up he um I think what he could do is well one so what he's going to on 70 months he'll do he gets 15% off for good time
Starting point is 01:03:43 assuming he doesn't get in trouble he probably won't he'll probably go to a low maybe he'll go to a low very quickly they're going to move him to a camp so he's going to end up in a camp where a lot of people get in trouble because he's not violent nonviolent he's not a security risk like if he did escape he's not going to escape and go shoot up a mall you know saying yeah yeah he's just going to run and try to hide at his friend's house right I guess I don't know so uh they're gonna find find them under a bridge somewhere i'm selling just watch my way uh i got blind so he most likely gets 15% off for so that's roughly a year off on 70 months
Starting point is 01:04:29 but now he's down to 60 months was five years then he's going to get roughly 20% off of that because which is roughly another year because he can program they call it programming and he'll either work a job or take classes he gets another 20 because you can get like 35 40% off your sentence at this point so let's say he ends up doing 60% 60% of 70 is 42 months so 42 months let's say he gets six months halfway house which is reasonable yeah he's going to know that now we're down to three years three years so he's going to do three years so in three years he's in a halfway house for six months. He's a good-looking guy. He's going to hook up with some chick. He's going to get her to let him come and stay at sleep at her place. If you sleep hot at night, you know

Well, he bangs her. yeah i think he's i think he's 38 now so yeah yeah definitely so funny too because right now he's thinking his life's over and i'd do anything to be you know 36 so uh or 40 or 45 anyway
Starting point is 01:06:48 what your fit your best years we're 45 thank in prison um so he so he's gonna end up you know he'll end up on probation and he'll like you said he'll probably be a personal trainer he'll probably go in there in three years he'll get his personal trainer's license and all his little certifications and stuff get out and you know he's the problem is making money
Starting point is 01:07:13 the first time is the hardest making it the second time is much easier so he's going to try and do something like this again hopefully he can do it the right way if they watch him long enough then maybe they maybe he's humbled enough and he's okay and in three years
Starting point is 01:07:28 when he gets out he's he's you know re-evaluated his life and realized that stealing money you think he'll go back to youtube i that's what i was going to say i think he'll definitely start a youtube channel again although i don't think his youtube channel was ever probably making him all that much money he probably wasn't focusing on it to make money yeah so no it was all about just look at me look at me i wonder what kind of views those i don't know i didn't uh i didn't pay attention of that kind of stuff back then. Right. Why are you here, Greg?
Starting point is 01:08:02 Anyway, so let's say, how many views, how many subscribers did he have? I don't know. How many does he have now? You still got those channels. I mean, he was putting out a fully edited one-hour video every single week.
Starting point is 01:08:19 And it was, and it was how long? The previous, an hour. Oh, an hour. A one-hour video every week, well-edited. He had an entire camera crew, follow him around all the time. That's where all the, some of the money was going on, I'm sure. Yeah, but I mean, and it wasn't like, it was like, oh, this is June.
Starting point is 01:08:36 I remember when, like, Texas froze or something, that they, like, that week, they had their video, and they're like, yeah, we're frozen, blah, blah, blah, blah, like so. So, I mean, most of his videos, I mean, it ranges from anywhere from, like, 25,000 to 350,000. but that's after like his big views are like his apology like I'm five million dollars in debt but how long has that one been out that's been out for a year so see that's that's not even the original yeah it's hard to it's hard to say what the I think I think he would be doing half a million views I really do I mean it was a popular how many subscribers 83,000 no he's not I mean everybody dropped him he went away way. He's in jail. You're going to stay subscribed? Let's say he's got a hundred thousand. Let's say
Starting point is 01:09:32 he's putting out one video a week for an hour and he's getting 100,000 views and he's getting 25% watch time. That video is maybe making $500. So if he's doing that and he's doing four of those a month, at best he's making 2,000 plus another maybe 1,000 to 15, maybe 3,500 tops. And that's that's him doing all the editing himself because then if you have to pay somebody you're you're done it's over but you're looking out the wrong way i mean for you that's how that would work for him if he gets one watch call people would come right but he can't sell watches while he's on probation he can't do that no no no he can't do it again i'm talking about retroactively no i'm saying his podcast or show tv show whatever you want to call it was strictly for him people would fly out in private jets just to show off to be seen on that and say I got this you know I get it it's kind of a he's kind of
Starting point is 01:10:32 doing it was promotional and entertainment at the same time right he's doing a whole um what is it traveling a road road show what was the name of that the road show where they antique and thank you antique road show where they come they show and they're like oh what do you think that was I think it's worth 60,000 well yeah yeah turns out this is a fake and it's worth about $200 yeah so um so I understand that what I'm saying from here on out if he were to get out and start over again because he does have some cachet right he can go on other podcasts to tell his story so let's say he started something in a genre like true crime or maybe if it was for him it'd probably be like fitness or something because he wants it to be
Starting point is 01:11:13 all about him he doesn't want to brand himself as a master criminal because he couldn't possibly see himself like that yeah yeah yeah just wouldn't dare paint themselves into that that portrait you're a special kind i'm special So if he were to get out and start, he'd have to start something over again. He could go on a bunch of shows, talk about what he's doing. He could probably make $4,000 or $5,000 a month
Starting point is 01:11:36 doing YouTube videos of some type. It might take a little bit, but that's probably it. That's probably where he's... But then he could also be training people on the side or maybe selling a course. It's not a bad life. I'm not saying it's a bad life.
Starting point is 01:11:48 I'm saying it's not like he could do, yeah, he could do courses. But yeah, it'll never be private jets and Lamborghini. It's not going to pay what's stealing. It's not to pay what. running a Ponzi scheme pays like that pays good money up until the end until it does so but yeah he's hopefully he goes to prison he realizes that and he gets out and says hey i'm going to do something legit who knows yeah i should write him a letter i can find him we can look him up on the bop i can
Starting point is 01:12:14 know where he is in him i talked to uh you want to hear what his partner had to say about him yeah the last time i talked to marco let's see i was in 23 and he said he needs to be locked up this is way more than an addiction problem it comes from a family of addicts on my dad oh i come from a family of addicts on my dad's side but stealing and ruining lives to satisfy addiction is a whole other deal i know funny you say that i watched the video and i feel like he's a straight narcissist yeah for sure i'm glad you got out before you got roped up in the bullshit. And he said, same, man. What a blessing in itself to have gotten as far away from this before the disaster hit. And that was my last conversation with this partner.
Starting point is 01:13:08 So, yeah, he had him on here. Why do you keep looking like that? What do you mean? I'm not saying anything against you. Oh, geez. Why would anybody spend $30,000 or $40,000 on a watch? the thing about expensive watches is in the industry they call it complications it's like a a really fancy way anything can tell the time but um you know your iPhone tells the time but remember that game mouse trap like like your watch on right now does it just tick every time like every second it just ticks well you know how you've had a roll Rolex before you know how the hand just kind of sweeps it does that like sweeping hand where you never and that's because there's two types of watches there's what's called a quartz watch which is a pretty pretty basic watch like this brightling here and you'll see the tick every second on that two three go forth and then mechanical watches I got this Cardi
Starting point is 01:14:23 with the back open so what makes a mechanical watch special is that the weight of your there's a weight on the back and your wrist moving it around like is what makes that watch you know there you see it so yeah oyster perpetual right that's right exactly right so everything in that's Rolex's word for it everybody has a word for it oyster means that it can go at least 100 meters underwater perpetual means that it has their perpetual movement and that's why you'll see those big fancy um watch winders like when you get the really rich guys that open the safes and they're all spinning it's not just for display purposes it's to keep the watch make sure it's keeping time so they're not just all dead on their nightstand like
Starting point is 01:15:17 mine may or may not be right um but uh yeah it's you're just spending money to again it's like that game mouse trap where the thing has to fall in they just keep adding more and more complications so now you're starting to see some that are like a skeleton where you can see the front all the way to the back and all the gears moving and uh that's it it's just uh it's a complicated way to do a simple thing right you know so and so what what they're they're you're paying for it's just prestige right it's like buy a Mercedes like a Ford you buy a Mercedes and a Ford Torres is basically the same car yeah so yeah they're both going to do the same thing but um you you'd rather have the Mercedes I I do yeah I'd rather pull up in the Mercedes than the Ford
Starting point is 01:16:06 Torres yeah you know so I like my Mercedes and I like my watches yeah right yeah it's like a fat chick or a high-priced model. Like, you know, they'd both do the same thing. I miss my real life. I can fake gift you one if it'll make for good. Fake to gift you? I'm going to be like, Matt, I'm so grateful for you having me on here that you can wear this for the duration of the podcast.
Starting point is 01:16:39 It's funny, too, when I listened, the first, like, big lick that I made, where I made like 80 grand or something I closed something and boom I got a check for 80 I was like oh my God I went now I bought a Rolex It wasn't much it was like 55 hose Back then 5500 bucks you walked to the store
Starting point is 01:16:54 You paid 5500 I got an oyster I got a um You know what I got was uh I think the Explorer No I think I got like a very basic Oyster perpetual white The black face Yeah yeah that was the Explorer one
Starting point is 01:17:07 Yeah I'll show you I'll show you what you go And then later I watched your thing Like you told remember you told me go last time I was here go watch leaving
Starting point is 01:17:18 Las Vegas the movie leaving Las Vegas remember last time I was here you're like yeah oh it's horrific right like that was great movie yeah but you're like
Starting point is 01:17:27 I was like I was selling watches I was doing all this stuff and you're like oh did you see that and I was like no and so I went and watched it and the first thing I thought I was like oh yeah
Starting point is 01:17:37 look at that that's a Rolex Daytona Paul Newman blah blah that's a nice piece he's got That's what you got. Yeah, yeah. I saw it. And how much are those now?
Starting point is 01:17:48 Wow, I bought that thing for like $5,000. Right out of the store. They always go up. They always go up. My dad paid $2K for a Rolex. It's $8,000 right now. I mean... Did you ever see that antique road show with the guy...
Starting point is 01:18:00 With the old man who, like, falls over when he figures out, it's like... It was like half a million dollars. Did you see that, Colby? Oh, my God. It's half worth half. He bought it for... It was $700 by the time. He was done.
Starting point is 01:18:11 Yeah. Oh, was it $700? Yeah. He bought it for $1. Like, I bought it for $500 back in 1970. It was some special team. And this guy, he's like, it was too scary to wear it because, you know, that was a month's salary to a sailor or something. And he had, he had all the paperwork still, the bot.
Starting point is 01:18:27 He had everything. It is. It's like the most heartwarming video. And when they tell him, like, he has no clue. He goes, it's been a, look up the antique road show, Rolex guy. It's so good. Now, I've had a couple of people. from my social media who know
