Back when I was trading watches I actually met this dude in Dallas once. He tried to sell me a beat up Daytona for 10k over what new ones were trading for on secondary. Also turns out he was a male escort lol.
Police called when man claims that a 250k watch they are selling was his and it was stolen from him. He has receipt along with paperwork showing matching serial number.
Anthony Farrer luxury watch dealer known as "The Timepiece Gentleman"—is inside a Scottsdale, Arizona jewelry store. Farrer marched into the shop and demanded they hand over a luxury Richard Mille RM 11-03 watch valued at a staggering quarter-of-a-million dollars.
Claiming the watch had been stolen from him months prior during a night out in Los Angeles, Farrer produced an invoice and claimed he had already flagged the serial numbers across global dealer networks.
However, the store owners stood their ground. They proved they had purchased the watch legitimately from another dealer and cleared it through law enforcement databases, where it showed no record of being stolen.
The high-stakes standoff became so volatile that store employees locked the front doors to trap Farrer inside while they called the police to intervene.
But investigators later revealed that this entire confrontation was nothing more than a desperate, calculated smokescreen.
Farrer wasn't the victim of a theft; he was trying to hide a massive, collapsing Ponzi scheme. Operating a luxury watch consignment business in Beverly Hills, Farrer was pocketing millions of dollars from 97 clients' watch sales to fund a lavish lifestyle of high-end rentals, luxury cars, and a severe gambling addiction. When angry clients demanded their money or their watches back, Farrer would frantically juggle inventory, shipping other clients' watches to buy time. This public stunt in Arizona was a classic deflection tactic to blame "stolen merchandise" for his missing funds before the house of cards fell.
The law caught up with him shortly after. Following a federal investigation by the FBI and IRS, Farrer was arrested. Investigators ultimately proved he had defrauded more than 40 victims out of a staggering $5.6 million. Farrer pleaded guilty to federal counts of wire fraud and mail fraud. He was sentenced to 70 months—nearly six years—in federal prison and ordered to pay millions in restitution.
An incredible look at how far a fraudster will go when the walls finally start closing in.
@TheFlowHorse Historically just depends on the size of the offering. This one will probably have shares lent fairly quick. Nonetheless will be an entertaining one! Cheers man
You guys in small caps really need to understand variance.
It’s honestly funny watching people cry about red days, and even funnier watching them flex green days while trying to lecture others who had a couple of reds.
Those of you with a serious poker background probably don’t need this explained.
I have multiple accounts, each running a bot with a different approach. Often, one is down today or this week while another is up. Does that mean the one that’s up is better at adapting, or just better overall? No. Does the one that’s down need to adapt? Probably not. They all crush it long term.
Same goes for traders. In the end, the best trader is the one who makes the most money without blowing up, not the one who had the most green days.
@scmedicinals Just got some in. Best ingredient list of any bar Ive had. Dont give that sluggish processed food feeling and they taste great. Well done!
Lance is definitely legit and I think its dumb to argue about it. Maybe hes just an easy target by the way he promotes himself but I know for a fact the firm he comes from has been around a long time and produced some epic traders. I actually met him in 2019 before he had joined twitter and it was clear then hes one of the best. Everyone has their own opinions on courses but if someone brand new asked me for direction I would probably tell them to watch Lance's free content. Its too easy to turn sour in this business. Avoid that path at all costs imo.
Hi I’m Lance, I supposedly made $100,000,000 in verified profits but I take out ads on X to sell you an overpriced training course. Who verified you ask? Oh, the other training company that I may or may not be part owner in. That’s right I made so much money I need to shill things on X. Don’t be alarmed, I don’t need the money but I spend all day marketing this. And yes, I block people that call me out for it.
@dontbsalti The post quoted is literally questioning his legitimacy.. I have no answer to why he runs ads. But who cares? It must suck that it bothers you so much. As I said being sour about it only brings negativity into your own life. GL
Comparing the recent Ebola (bundibugyo strain) outbreak to the 2014 (Zaire strain) outbreak. What really kicked off the 2014 fear was multiple infected healtcare workers returning to their home countries. But as you can see the disease was still largely contained to central/west africa. Current outbreak has not reached outside of DRC/Uganda.

Building a disease tracker and starting with Ebola. Just a friendly reminder we havent seen a case in the US since 2014. (Included the recent DRC outbreak data.) Easy to contain but these poor countries are constantly robbed of their foreign aid from corrupt governments.

Thank you. The important part is zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. Best way to put money in someone’s pocket is to not take it out in the first place. Bottom half is only 3% of total tax revenue. But it’s very meaningful to that person. Zero it out.
