Saw that. It was probably a watch in his possession at some point on consignment and he might have had a cronie sell it to that store. Since it was not reported stolen they bought it. Then he reports it later expecting them to give it to him.
@@candlercandoor someone took it to sell , to try and recoup some of the money he owed them. Some of the crap he came away with in that video , made me laugh . Making out he was the victim 😂
Don’t take his apology or his confession. Seriously, he did way more than you think and he is only trying to distract. This guy is a serious serious criminal.
@markreynolds9135 When it isn't your money or watches, the whole situation is funny. I remember the videos where people were going to their office to overpay for a watch, because they were on TH-cam. Everyone in that office was wearing a $75,000 watch, and they would flex it on camera. Also, Christian ran down to their office in Texas to do a collaboration. Now he is Mr. FBI. I think that is funny. He probably took down those videos.
This same sht happens every now and then with collector cars. CNC Motors in Orange County was a COMPLETE sht show a couple years ago, of the guy doing stuff like this but with exotic cars, and same thing, all came crashing down. Idiot sociopaths with crippling insecurity, so desperate for love and respect that they’ll screw everyone over including themselves, just to look and feel like a success to people who don’t even care and always smell the bullsht anyway. And they’re too dumb to understand even freshman year accounting, so they always get caught.
The first video I ever saw, when they were out spending over $10k for dinner while running a business that had very small margins, I knew they were an absolute scam. I also don’t believe Marco didn’t know, he was spending it just as fast. The next red flag was this “business”, spending millions, yet doing all their books on an excel spreadsheet??? lol. Follow that with these “investors”?? My God that just proves a fool and his money are soon parted. Who would have thought this was a business model worth investing in>?
It's the grifter culture. These people bet their life at every opportunity, and when they win big, they boast about it and then try to go bigger. Watch "Uncut Gems", maybe the best movie ever to showcase that insane culture. They all get what is coming to them, look at Trump!
What’s even sadder is the young men who were watching him thinking that’s possible and him giving them a false sense of hope. A false sense of reality.
*If you steal a $10k watch from one person and sell it for $12k to someone else, your profit may be $12k but you've stolen $22k. (Obtain property/money by Fraud x 2)
What is very amusing to me is seeing any dealer who ever did any business with Anthony are rushing to cover their arses and they are eating their own in the process. Also, what adds to the entertainment right now is the watch market is crashing and many dealers on youtube are laying people off while they deny business is bad. The luxury watch market is all first world problems and won't get any sympathy from anybody.

CONsignment is inherently risky for sellers unless you are dealing with the most trustworthy dealers. For 99% of sellers, consignment is not worth the risk. End the shady practice of consignment, and you significantly reduce your risk exposure.
The best part was his videos after he got exposed acting like he was going to recover from this and actually continue to sell watches 😂 , the ego on that little guy is unparalleled
I preferred the previous setup with the shelves behind them. That felt like a nice sized space whereas this feels like the cramped corner of a waiting room.
I loved that video so much, it was like watching a master chef at work. The way they handled every element was so effortless and perfect, it was like they were dancing with the ingredients. And the final product was an absolute masterpiece, a symphony of flavors that left my taste buds singing. I'm so glad I watched that video, it was an experience I won't soon forget.
While only making 500-2000 per deal , with all the wages and other overheads , plus lavish lifestyle in an expensive area . Made perfect sense he was a crook . But guys like Roman Sharf stood up for him and vouched for him , so others were fooled down the that alone . Now Romans lost half his guys as well . Karma .
Is this why Paul Thorpe set up the Digital Watch Vault to check if your watch is stolen ? If you discover your watch is a stolen one now listed on DWV,what are you going to do ? Go to the Police and say I’m handing it back ? I assume the point is to check the watch on DWV before buying it. If you then discover it’s stolen on DWV,are you going to tell the Police the seller is selling stolen goods ? If the seller is selling stolen goods why didn’t they check the DWV before buying it ? Disclaimer : Other stolen watch platforms are available,but I can’t think of any ?
Try G Shocks 😉 . Brilliant and if you don't go into the higher end stuff , then affordable . Seiko , Tissot , Hamilton , Longine , Citizen , Bulova , so many decent brands out there , that will last , but not get you murdered for wearing .
Anthony's confession video was done on purpose. He did it to start the clock on the statute of limitations. Once he let the cat out of the bag, and start paying people back just enough for them not to sue or press charges, he could then run the clock down on the statute of limitations and once the clock runs out, he can tell them to go fuck themselves on the remaining balance. He is smarter than people think.
No.. he's not smart but thinks he is which has been his downfall every time. If his crimes had a statute of limitations for 2 months, I would agree with you. But if he thought he could string people along for 5 years, which is the statute of limitations for wire fraud alone, he's more delusional than I thought 😂😂😂
lol that's now how statute of limitations work, you have no idea what you're talking about. for one, the statute of limitations for wire fraud is five years, and the clock starts when he committed the fraud, not when he posts a confession video.
As a former addict, sounds like he started using again. A few years back after the ankle bracelet came off, he identified as an addict in recovery, but began to drink again. While alcohol and opiate addictions are generally one or the other, if one is addicted to opiates and coke, drinking is a fast way to be vulnerable to relapse to your drug of choice Those of us in recovery do not drink or do any drugs. It’s also not uncommon to swap drug addiction with other lifestyle addictions. That said, when he started drinking is my guess to when he changed and dug a hole that he couldn’t get out of. As an addict, we come up with stupid excuses for our behavior. Me sharing this doesn’t excuse his behavior, but my thoughts on why everything began to go sideways once he went off parole.
That’s exactly what happened he was sober in Dallas and that’s when he was doing the best he ever had and the watch market was booming and he was sober …when he moved to la he fell of the wagon and tried to live up to a lifestyle he couldn’t afford and the watch market shit tanked like a Mf so ur right
Easy calc. Use an online calculator to figure out the monthly payment on a $450k Lambo (say), throw in $2k per month for insurance (say), throw in yearly maintenance. There you have the monthly cost of a Lambo. Now figure out how many 70k (say) watches at 5% commission you'd need to sell monthly for the car alone. Quickly become apparent that something smelled.
I never thought about the tax implications. Since he took the money out of the business it can be counted as income. He should have left the money in the business account and then paid himself out monthly or quarterly as income.
that was def him hinting he wanted the Wahlberger to play him in his future screenplay "Timepieces to Hard Time; The Timepiece Gentleman's Rags to Riches and Back to Rags Story"
I had to lol at all these replies. I should have been more clear. I meant on this particular subject of TPG. Of course other vids are for clicks, that's the business they are in. Cheers @@triniboy05
It depends on where you live. Each state has their own laws regarding stolen property. New Jersey, for instance, if you show you bought the item with good faith that it wasn't stolen, it's yours. They don't take it. Buying from a reputable seller, etc. all show you bought it in good faith.
I think legally the original owner signed away his legal ownership when he signed the contract when going into consignment .. I read and listened to a lot of lawyers talking about what happened and all said the consignment contract worded properly will take away ownership from the owner and give it to the dealer selling the watch for them
If a consignment contract was worded in a way, that the consignor would give ownership to the consignee, it could be also considered fraudulent. The whole point of consignment, is that the original owner retains ownership. This is also clearly defined in the relevant UCC legislation in the US.
Archie luxury caught this about Anthony from day one. Plus a lot of this content is exactly what Paul Pluta said years ago. Love both contents but I'm pretty sure Christian listen to Archie because he say similar phrases. Great content fellas. Love the format.
Everyone with even the tiniest BS detector knew something was off almost from the day it started popping on youtube for Anthony. If you can do basic math you know you can not live a billionaire life with a millionaire income. Even if being generous in estimating the margins on the watches they sold, the income was never even close to covering the lifestyle spending Anthony had. Even if you did not factor in any running costs like rent, taxes, insurance and salaries for the employees the numbers did not add up at all.
@@queensbuilt-timewilltell8200 In Romans case I guess your BS detector can become a bit unreliable when you see the potential to make some money. In his defense you notice a point where Roman tries to avoid being seen with Anthony after the "marketing" stunt, but still wants to make money off of him. Paul Thorp almost sets of my BS detector because of how he sucks up to people with clout. There is BS artist inside Paul that he is barely managing to control I think. Paul sounds and feels like a shady character from a Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels type movie that is working hard to convince you he is legit despite all outward signals to the contrary.
He was a dry drunk. He crossed addicted to success and narcissism and work. Then he had a real relapse with substances. Once that happened all that mattered was spending money that he didn't have.... he didn't do what needed to be done to stay emotionally sober. I don't think he ever had real treatment. He proudly stated he had no AA engagement
His statement had merit even tho it doesn't fit into your jargon. You just want to reduce everything to stupid, here where you can get ahead, on the internet-
@@alanross99I think it is more fraud in the ethical sense, but not the legal sense. Like you buy a datejust from some online listing. The seller doesn’t have it, but spends the quoted leadtime to acquire one to ship to you.
I remember the first drama when they went dark in Texas and Archie Luxury was calling him a fraud. I never really liked TPGs lifestyle stuff anyways so I stopped following the drama. Sad to see it got this bad for him and I feel bad for all the people scammed by this whole situation.
Police dont care about 50,000 theft. It happend to me my business partner ripped me off but he stole 8,000,000 plus tax. He is literally crazy I feel bad he had a good thing going for him. He was buying cars, hotels, gambling etc

Thanks for the content.. I do appreciate it all.
@PhilippTitus Marco was the legitimate guy who teamed up with a guy with a long criminal history. Why? I avoid those people. I don't become their partner.
I can definitely guarantee EVERYONE in the grey market does what he did… only difference is that others do it to buy watches and flip then pay their clients late… he was just blowing the money…
He almost got me, but the more I talk to Anthony on the phone somethings he said to me made me suspicious about Anthony.... Anthony tried to blow my phone up a whole bunch of times I just didn't answer....
What human being, who has $300k to spend of furniture, would go to (let along spend all of that at) restoration hardware? Oh, wait, a lot of newly rich people w/ no taste whatsoever. He should have had me do his interior. For all I know, the check would have bounced. ALLEGEDLY.
Not entirely why people who commit fraud should be sent to prison. Honestly if it were me and Anthony defrauded me on a 50k watch let’s say. I’d rather him just pay me what’s owed and maybe some interest. I’d rather that happen than waiting for him to get out of prison, start again and then get my money. What would make sense is the possible conspiracy for armed robbery. He should definitely go to prison for that since someone could have been injured or killed.
Sorry if I’m being a bit stupid but even if he was selling stuff on consignment and withholding the funds/delaying payments to the owners where did the $5 million go ?
After his bizarre disappearing act, which he claimed was marketing and test of who his real friends were(!), I'm surprised anyone had anything to do with him. Strangely likeable and charismatic but totally unsuitable to running his own business.
I don't think from day 1 he was a criminal in the "watch business"...I think his popularity on TH-cam and the easy money got to him. But there's also the saying money is an amplifier of who you were prior to having it so yeah..
I guess everyone associates Paul Thorpe to TPG's scheme. Anyone know how Thorpe conspired with TPG except for obviously trying to save Farrer's public image?
The market is bad and he has been bullish taken too many watches with value plummeting like $20k/week, and he is spending like $50k/week. He is bankrupt, and unable to pay.
Marco came across as a decent person. Always knew of AF’s criminal past. Yet Mario was chilled all the time. If Ed not watched or heard of Mario’s all good these days & hope he’s in a good place. As for AF, I’m thinking he’ll get everything coming to him that he ones deep down would catch up.
The best is when he's in that Arizona jewelry store trying to take back a watch they said was his it's hilarious

Consignment isn’t the problem . It’s dealing with untrustworthy people which will leave you wrecked in any business you do not just selling watches.
That’s why your partner Timmy defended TPG right up to his arrest and said it was ok because rich people can afford to get robbed.
People sell jarred farts on eBay, it's a risky business.
It most certainly is a problem. Consignment has a higher level of risk than other aspects of the watch selling business.

Basically the same thing as CNC motors with exotic cars.
Contracts. It's all about the contract. Namely, title does not pass until the payment is made in full. Then you can report the watch stolen.

Even if you did not factor in any running costs like rent, taxes, insurance and salaries for the employees the numbers did not add up at all.
@@rustknuckleirongut8107 It seems like Roman Sharpe and Paul Thorpe did not have this detector you claimed.
@@queensbuilt-timewilltell8200 In Romans case I guess your BS detector can become a bit unreliable when you see the potential to make some money. In his defense you notice a point where Roman tries to avoid being seen with Anthony after the "marketing" stunt, but still wants to make money off of him. Paul Thorp almost sets of my BS detector because of how he sucks up to people with clout. There is BS artist inside Paul that he is barely managing to control I think. Paul sounds and feels like a shady character from a Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels type movie that is working hard to convince you he is legit despite all outward signals to the contrary.
Archie is unlistenable. Psycho belongs in a rubber room.
I can't stand Archie , guys an absolute bell end .
I feel ripped off for how many ads I had to listen to. It’s a shame. I probably would have subbed
He was a dry drunk. He crossed addicted to success and narcissism and work. Then he had a real relapse with substances. Once that happened all that mattered was spending money that he didn't have.... he didn't do what needed to be done to stay emotionally sober. I don't think he ever had real treatment. He proudly stated he had no AA engagement
emotionally sober....baa haaa haaaa okay there Dr. Fill
His statement had merit even tho it doesn't fit into your jargon. You just want to reduce everything to stupid, here where you can get ahead, on the internet-
@@georgehofgren6123 oh man you found me out, I really thought that would be the comment to get me ahead on the Internet. You hurt my feeling.
@jackblah5842 Wow, thanks for that! I get no satisfaction our of hurting others feelings, but at least your less stupid now 🤷♂️
Aren't any of these watches insured?
Yeah right
The sad thing is that if he was on the LvL and did things right, he would have been successful.
What about all these peoples who never declared their very expensive watches as fortune ?
He promised everyone would get their money back. Just might take a while at 12 to 40 cents an hour in a federal lockup.
"All dealers commit fraud"...Christian getting a subpoena in 3, 2, 1...
I thought that was strange also. Would like to hear him elaborate on that. Hard to believe a large number of dealers regularly commit fraud...
@@alanross99I think it is more fraud in the ethical sense, but not the legal sense.
Like you buy a datejust from some online listing. The seller doesn’t have it, but spends the quoted leadtime to acquire one to ship to you.
I don't believe that at all! The video was good until he said all dealers are thief's and commit fraud isn't right
I remember the first drama when they went dark in Texas and Archie Luxury was calling him a fraud. I never really liked TPGs lifestyle stuff anyways so I stopped following the drama. Sad to see it got this bad for him and I feel bad for all the people scammed by this whole situation.
When Archie Luxury is calling you out, you need to reconsider life decisions.
@@andrew_owens7680 Archie is bonkers, but you know what, he is rarely wrong when it comes to watches.
@@andrew_owens7680😭💀🤣🎯
Yeah and those shysters Sharf and Thorpe were falling all over themselves fretting about poor Anthony.
Police dont care about 50,000 theft. It happend to me my business partner ripped me off but he stole 8,000,000 plus tax. He is literally crazy I feel bad he had a good thing going for him. He was buying cars, hotels, gambling etc
I bet Christian feels stupid for going to Texas to hang out with him.
Probably not. He got a Rolex out of it
Why, it’s not like he knew he was a fraud
@@PepeDeezNutzany tugging happen ya think? Anthony was a watch gangsta!! He deserved 10 Million.
Imagine this! A Theo and Harris thumbnail image.... with a,....wait for it...Rolex Daytona image!....Hmmm...I absolutely love the T&H content...but the click bait element....well,.. it's startin' to feel like a "one trick pony".. c'mon Michael... you're better than that. Thanks for the content.. I do appreciate it all.
What's the deal with Marco? He abandoned Anthony?
I think he kinda knew that there was something fishy going on and left
@PhilippTitus Marco was the legitimate guy who teamed up with a guy with a long criminal history. Why? I avoid those people. I don't become their partner.
Marco is guilty
@@PepeDeezNutz Nobody interviews him. Did he warn clients that Anthony was out of control?
@@rickjason215 no Marco sleeps 23 hours a day
Moral of the Story: Don't do business with douchebags.
“Lus” also a lawyer thinks this goes beyond Ferrar. He may rat and take down internet gray markets.
I can definitely guarantee EVERYONE in the grey market does what he did… only difference is that others do it to buy watches and flip then pay their clients late… he was just blowing the money…
He got lost in the Sause
In South Africa it's called Monday.
Worst part of all - While rumours flew around, there were videos of him in vegas betting huge amounts of what turned out to be client's money....
my non-existent daughter? what the fuck?
"Forever Bothering Italians"....HILARIOUS!!! Gotta admit-I've never heard that one
He’s prob gonna start snitching on all the shady industry secret’s 🤦♂️ that’s how stuff gets messed up one dummy is all it takes.
He almost got me, but the more I talk to Anthony on the phone somethings he said to me made me suspicious about Anthony.... Anthony tried to blow my phone up a whole bunch of times I just didn't answer....
TPg, was always sus to me. It was the juggling of all the watches.
The legend of Travis Baker will continue in prison. He has the skills to not only survive but thrive 💆♂️
What human being, who has $300k to spend of furniture, would go to (let along spend all of that at) restoration hardware?
Oh, wait, a lot of newly rich people w/ no taste whatsoever.
He should have had me do his interior. For all I know, the check would have bounced. ALLEGEDLY.
Expect a cease and desist letter from…….. Paul Thorpe 🤣🤣🤣
Not entirely why people who commit fraud should be sent to prison. Honestly if it were me and Anthony defrauded me on a 50k watch let’s say. I’d rather him just pay me what’s owed and maybe some interest. I’d rather that happen than waiting for him to get out of prison, start again and then get my money. What would make sense is the possible conspiracy for armed robbery. He should definitely go to prison for that since someone could have been injured or killed.
19:43 I bought this for my none existing daughter 😂🤣
And the screwed up thing like you said Owing taxes,on that the government would get theirs before the victims would
No one should trust some guy in the internet with their own money just because they have a channel … reality-web is not far below reality-tv…
Sorry if I’m being a bit stupid but even if he was selling stuff on consignment and withholding the funds/delaying payments to the owners where did the $5 million go ?
Lifestyle
Shout out to Watch Nicholas for calling him out from the beginning, even when everyone doubted him.
You don't need squarespace to buy some template tho :D
Hey guys the audio is cut idk wasn’t working for the whole video
After his bizarre disappearing act, which he claimed was marketing and test of who his real friends were(!), I'm surprised anyone had anything to do with him. Strangely likeable and charismatic but totally unsuitable to running his own business.
I’ve seen a few people say how charming and charismatic he was, never got that vibe he always came off as squirrelly.
Paul Thorpe has been warning us how corrupt Rolex AD’s are and how trustworthy the grey market is………
Yes and he's got major egg on his face now. Total geezer.
His son went to jail for selling fake watches so sure he knew
Does it tell the right time,,,then how could it be a fake watch,,,
Christian, I believe the term you were looking for earlier in the video is narcissistic sociopath.
Everyone’s talking about Roman- but didn’t he half to rip people off to be a person of interest?
The real question is: Did Marco know about it before they split? If he did and didn’t report him, he’s partially guilty too
Tbh I think it is irrelevant if he knew or not. If he was also owner of the business - he is guilty, too.
Why do you think he broke up the partnership. They were red hot and then Marco was gone.
Can't prove he knew. No matter what Anthony says.
I am confused . Just watched a video with you and Anthony talking watches. You all seemed really friendly. I thought you where affiliated with him ?
There was so many signs
He scammed each and everyone, even his own best friends. Ruthless scammer
I don't think from day 1 he was a criminal in the "watch business"...I think his popularity on TH-cam and the easy money got to him. But there's also the saying money is an amplifier of who you were prior to having it so yeah..
He was SCUMBAG slice he was BORN! I would bet his folks are Sbags as well
I guess everyone associates Paul Thorpe to TPG's scheme. Anyone know how Thorpe conspired with TPG except for obviously trying to save Farrer's public image?
Young Obi Wan on the left
Anthony always came across as a smug scum bag from the very beginning to me.
His current state doesn't surprise me a whole lot.
Sensual video experience. Tight pants T-money!
The market is bad and he has been bullish taken too many watches with value plummeting like $20k/week, and he is spending like $50k/week. He is bankrupt, and unable to pay.
You two are hilarious
Marco came across as a decent person.
Always knew of AF’s criminal past.
Yet Mario was chilled all the time. If Ed not watched or heard of Mario’s all good these days & hope he’s in a good place.
As for AF, I’m thinking he’ll get everything coming to him that he ones deep down would catch up.
