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.
The guy is a twin and his brother was killed. After that he was deranged.
@@rickjason215 I agree with your brother, it’s very very unfortunate
As opposed to a not so 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 best is when he's in that Arizona jewelry store trying to take back a watch they said was his it's hilarious
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 😂
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.
Hopefully the young men exercise critical thinking. It’s not too hard to see this guy’s an internet scammer.
The PR stunt where the TPG went under the ground for x amount of hours/days scaring their customers, that was the first red flag for me
‘marketing genius’
The first red flag was an ex-convict starting this business.
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
*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.
Watch market is crashing? Where?
And first world problems are at least as important as third world ones.
Well said .
@@herbtube7824 buying an overpriced watch isn’t as important as figuring out how your gonna eat today. Cmon, wtf!??
@@marc7983 what are you talking about?
I buy and sell watches as a hobby and the market is definitely not "crashing" quite the opposite or I wouldn't even be doing It
Special thanks to Watch Nicholas calling Anthony out nearly two years ago.
Yes! Is WN still around and doing YT vids?
@@Adamas11yes he sure is!
How do you lose money buying Rolex……oh that idiot bought everything……
two tone timepiece tony
Restitution only works if the criminal has assets otherwise forget it
What a wild story--can't believe you guys would visit someone who doesn't wear Raw Denim or Gucci loafers
...can't say we didn't have any warning signs
@@TheoandHarrisfull disclosure of red flags. Lol.
@@TheoandHarris yet Christian happily got drunk and giggled like a little teenage girl when sitting in their office, checking out all the expensive shit. Video doesn't lie, at least don't gaslight your audience
@@szymonc5150 I don't see how that is so bad?
@@Dan-lq6dg because they were all over him when he was popular (and no, his channel was popular before they met with him, unlike what Michael is claiming) and only when TPG went downhill, they started telling stories about how bad he is, how cringy the meeting with him was etc. Revisionist history in its finest.
The ponzi started in Dallas when Jimmy stated they needed to pay off the original owners of watches Anthony bought or sold off that still hadn't been paid as part of the "buyout".
early on the YT channel, Anthony admitted and talked about his criminal past in fairly great detail. anybody dealing with him had ample warning.
Yes and no, I think he had someone else sourcing the watches. Especially in the super high end stuff, the people who own those watches aren't frequently handling stuff like that p2p lol usually it is somebody they trust connecting and helping to move the piece.
@@zsutton6687ppl like that Bob guy and roman
@@NorthKoreanSimp Or maybe they were people that had similar tough pasts, and were giving him a chance. Farrer is a fucking scumbag. His day will come.
@@NorthKoreanSimpjust about to post that . He had guys like Roman Sharf vouching for him saying he was a standup guy . Then when it all went mad , he claimed he didn't have much dealing with him , then afterwards said Anthony owed him money as well . They are all dodgy gits .
At 17:47 Christian shows himself as being true and honest. A clear sign of a genuine person who can be trusted to do business.
Fooled me. Who’s ever think that penthouse apartments, super cars and nobu every day of the week isn’t sustainable 🤷🏻♂️
That’s basically our economy
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 .
How could anyone not see this guy was a fraud? I remember seeing a vanity video of his where he went to a gym to workout wearing an RM. That might have been the douchiest thing I've ever seen on TH-cam (and that's saying something!). There was always too much drama surrounding this guy for the line of business he was in. I want my watch dealers dull and boring - if I want drama I'll find it elsewhere.
Dude was so cringe, it was hard to even watch
The time thief ballbag 😅
@@northernthrifter8817 exactly lol
Thats off when I used to watch his channel he always showing off buying all this expensive crap and wearing tight jeans lol
We all know the turning point was the Saltbae vlog. The darkout stunt was the nail in the coffin.
Gonna have to change his name to Timepiece Convict pretty soon.
Man…what an awful situation. Appreciate your POV on it.
He owes Roman from luxury bazzar 2.5 million
Another crook 😅
Remember the decoy briefcase lol.
It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
Thank you for changing the setup to where you're talking to your viewers versus talking to each other. Way better!!!!!
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 really want an emerald gold presidential Rolex. I’ll never be able to buy one though so I’ll just keep wearing my invictas
You can break that Invicta. If you scratch the Rolex, you will think about it for years
China baby
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 .
A simple dealer bond would protect anyone doing consignment if you don’t know the dealer.
“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…
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.
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.
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.
Embarrassed to say I bought one
Tug boat be earning STRIPES in that cell with a bed sheet hungover the cell door window
You guys so enjoyed this. A lot of bla bla in this episode with no real facts.
Great video. It’s incredible how obvious it was from the beginning how nuts Anthony was.
Not nutz just a pure fake and 💯 SCUMBAG!
Note to self: Don't look for a moral compass from a sex worker. Good show!
Basically the same thing as CNC motors with exotic cars.
Poor Tuggy 🤣
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.
I feel ripped off for how many ads I had to listen to. It’s a shame. I probably would have subbed
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.
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 ?
"Forever Bothering Italians"....HILARIOUS!!! Gotta admit-I've never heard that one
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 😂😂😂
dosen't matter how smart he is, he will be giving a lot of back rubs in the penitentiary
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.
You don’t make any sense
He ain’t that smart brah
Nice episode. If Marky Mark plays AF he may be able to pay back everyone eventually with his story. All us watch geeks would watch the movie.
I’m a watch geek and didn’t WASTE my time watching his $hitty YT channel not a snowball’s chance in heII I watch a 15 min story about this SCUM!
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"
It is in many places illegal to profit from a crime
I think I watched about 5 minutes of one of his videos. Hard to imagine people fell for this
The sad thing is that if he was on the LvL and did things right, he would have been successful.
19:43 I bought this for my none existing daughter 😂🤣
Is there a video of you guys meeting him? If so please link it.
Expect a cease and desist letter from…….. Paul Thorpe 🤣🤣🤣
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.
you''re still an addict, you just don't use anymore.
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
Dunno when, probably a couple of years ago but from the first video I saw it was clear these guys are shady, and that was best case scenario.
💯 agreed
The legend of Travis Baker will continue in prison. He has the skills to not only survive but thrive 💆♂️
You two are hilarious
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.
What about all these peoples who never declared their very expensive watches as fortune ?
He got lost in the Sause
You guys are one of the very few that aren't in it for the clicks IMHO. Great storytelling.
They put Rolex hype models on virtually all of their thumbnails whatchutalkinbout
Did you miss the video where Christian went to hang with Anthony. Anthony was hot on TH-cam and they collaborated for clicks.
How much did they pay you for this comment?
Are you drunk? All they do it stuff for the clicks
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
Can you elaborate on dealers committing fraud in person?
Sus
Everyone is a legend in they're own mind. Anthony deserves 10 million when comes out of jail.
Young Obi Wan on the left
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.
It was income regardless
"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
TPg, was always sus to me. It was the juggling of all the watches.
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.
He promised everyone would get their money back. Just might take a while at 12 to 40 cents an hour in a federal lockup.
“I stole from rich people guys, I’m the modern day Robin Hood!” Lol
There was so many signs
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....
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
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.
@@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 .
My boy called him a sex slave hahahahahahah…bahahahaha! I literally spit my drink out!!
Fake Markey Mark was definitely like 20 bucks and you can watch me rub one out… then put it on his deduction screen up in the corner. That’s a ton of shameful acts to make up 5 million dollars… just think about that for a second.
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 🤷♂️
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.
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.
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.
Sensual video experience. Tight pants T-money!
Was waiting for you to cover this.
In South Africa it's called Monday.
Reminds me of Michael Avenatti
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
God made one mistake: He should have made stupidity painful. If so, you'd be on morphine right now.
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.
"i think legally..." Nah you don't, you think wrong
He’ll probably be known in prison as “The Ringpiece Gentleman”😂
It was one big soap, now he has to grab them from the floor 😅
“The Rimjob Gentleman”
He will be his cell block's designated flesh light and salad tosser.🤭
The Tugjob gentleman 🤣
What kind of glasses are you wearing?
A bunch of those money is paving our streets here in vegas.😂😂😂
Moral of the Story: Don't do business with douchebags.
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....
Looks like Michael is back and the old set is back. Good.
He’ll make it all back when he gets out of prison and writes a book and makes a movie about his life
Chrissy Christian, “the beta girl”, loved going to Texas to spend time with these guys…he idolized them. A simpleton will always be mesmerized by greed. Here’s looking at you Chrissy 😂
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.
Deadline has already reported there is a series about TPG in the works 🤷
And the screwed up thing like you said Owing taxes,on that the government would get theirs before the victims would
Props to all who called this guy out: Arch and Watch Nicholas.
Guy on the left is a giggling Ewan McGregor
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
Shout out to Watch Nicholas for calling him out from the beginning, even when everyone doubted him.
The vibe you got when you met Anthony, you should have trusted it.
Sir theirs less than 1 percent of men could rock a mustache, and you sir are bless that you could
Anthony's going to be very popular in prison
I think he’s innocent myself 🤔…… 😂
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…
If Geraldo Rivera and Robert Downey Jr had a kid.....you get christianzeron. JK guys. Good vid and good channel.
Everyone’s talking about Roman- but didn’t he half to rip people off to be a person of interest?
My favorite video so far!
I was wondering what happened to that watch fellow when all the sudden his videos and channel disappeared. Book em Danolllll
