Have you heard about that story of a guy who won a lot of money I think from a lottery. like an absurd amount of money somewhere like $30,000,000 or something, and then ended up giving a majority of it or spending it to the point where he only had about $2,000,000 left. Well he then talked to some bank lady and she said that he needs financial guidance and that he needs to make her have control of his money and then she ended up killing him after getting access to that 2 million. He was apparently a really nice guy
As a controls engineer myself, this man is a disgrace. This type of behavior is so prevalent in this industry, mostly old scumbags that refuse to adapt to new schools of thought and that believe that they know better than anyone they come across. I'm so sorry you had to go through this and I hope that everything works out for you with Will.
You're giving money to a young man who has a youtube channel of 5mil subs and his own candy business? Parasocial relationships are not heathly. Please get out and enjoy life.
My company now occupies the shop that the your scammer used to be in. We for a little while had what I assume was one of your “Siemens” branded machines. Appeared to be a wrapping machine about the width of a standard pallet and maybe 4 feet tall all stainless steel. It sat in the shop for about 2 months while the landlord assured us that Jake would be coming to get it the next day. He never did and the landlord ultimately collected it. I just discovered you from Unsubscribe and when I heard you say Jasper, Ga I knew exactly where this happened. I’m sitting right now in his old office space.
It's a scare tactic scammers tend to use. If they want something and you say no they try and use fear or retribution to get you to do what they want. They try to sound authoritative on the subject as if they have complete control when really they're floundering because they have nothing.
what do you mean he went to WIll? Will is the guy who exposed Jake and gave Caleb the evidence that he was being scammed and likely saved him a lot of money, he then quit his job with Jake and moved to Texas to work for Caleb and is 100% the reason that Caleb was able to get the machines up and running and pretty well save his business, if your implying that Will is Jake then your wrong since there is literally a recorded phonecall between Jake and Will in this video proving that they are no the same person, and its a horrible insult to Jake and diminishes the risk and effort he had to take in order to quit his job and betray his former boss(who was a scammer so its deserved betrayal imo) and pick up his whole life and move to another state to work for someone he has never even met in person.
I’m so sorry that this happened to you Caleb. Its sad that you were pouring so much into your candy company and Jake was just trying to get more and more from you. I hope your company becomes a huge success as time goes on. Also, thank you for making such funny content Caleb. I’ve been watching you since you had 700,000 subs. You are a kind and funny guy.
I hope this makes it to court. I want Caleb and his lawyers to walk in with a fat stack of evidence. I want witnesses, I want a systematic deconstruction of the lies which results in proper punishment.
@@EricDeMilio Why do you speak when your head is so empty? You clearly have no concept of how the legal system works. During the discovery phase of a legal proceeding, you share everything that will be used as evidence with the other party. There's no "gotcha" moment in actual court; the cases are won on the merit of their facts. Furthermore, making videos like these serves as 1. a way to make some money for Oompa, 2. a chance to organize all the evidence and arguments, and 3. a chance to provoke further lies from Jake. Overall, lots of positives with almost no foreseeable negatives. When people say they can't talk about it because of court proceedings that's almost always because they are on the wrong side of things and want to minimize the ammunition for those accusing them. There is a smaller proportion of cases where lawyers will advise radio silence but it's typically because the individual is in the wrong.
Caleb is very mature. If I lost a million dollars, I would want that man doxxed and punished to the fullest degree. It’s insane how Caleb keeps a calm and just kind. I respect it.
@@oiltycoonbillionaire no, noone deserves to be doxxed, unless it was something outrageously serious, what he deserves is the consequences of his actions
2:20 even if those are all true when you enter a contract to custom make a machine, the source of the machine shouldn’t be “exposed” or “leaked” to the client, they should be updated on every step. I work in contract engineering this dude is full of it even in his own statement he breaks multiple rules of ethics, and falsely advertised his services and admits to basically pulling babies first theranos. 27:59 scam. Buy a couple terabyte external drives and save everything copied to it by date. 32:45 I’ve caught pneumonia more than 3 times. Walking pneumonia, traditional pneumonia, all that and I still do my thing. Hey Caleb, submit all this to the NCEES. It may crush any of his certifications and block him from advancing as an engineer. 54:30 seriously, report him to NCEES, 6sigma, all the US engineering licensing authorities.
@@thisisreallystupidhelpan he basically admitted to pulling a fast one in his own tweets and since Will was ethical and was clear in communications we have blackmail and admissions of fraud. That’s not “call into question” that’s revoking your college degree.
@@durandus676silly question, if Oompa doesn’t see this. Could any one call him in and sight this video as evidence and potentially give them the twitter of the scammer as well? Or would they need all the blue print and sales info from those two strictly involved? The ladder would make more sense but I figured I’d ask.
Jake: "I did not commit fraud. I just lied to Caleb repeatedly, misappropriated funds, begged for money with more lies, and then never fulfilled my end of the contract." Totally not a scam, Jake.
He prob won’t win in court from how it seems. they appeared to have only agreed to like minimal things in the contract because he trusted him, and in the end Caleb got a working machine. The guy can say it genuinely cost him that much n took that long. it’s not ABSURDLY priced, just really badly, plus extra for all the expediting seemed to be in the contract to be done if agreed as well. Almost everything he agreed with. He would have had a much better case if he refused it on pick up, but MABEY a judge will rule it was considered fraud to take Chinese equipment n blank it out n write things to make it look like your own with the purpose of defrauding Caleb out of money, or he could rule it legally a home made machine or even redesigned instead if covered over and misled. I think it depends on if you can PROVE the intentions of Jake when he did it this way.
regardless Oompa would end up just wasting even more money and going further in debt to sit on his hands in the court system forever. mabey you get lucky at the end and he covers legal fees and u mabey get some money judged to you.. thats only step 1. you then need to go wait into the system for appeals if they don’t pay. then they could hide their money eventually. its a LONG pointless game
Thanks for sharing this. I got scammed for a quarter million over something way less smart than what you were working on. It makes me feel better to know that at least you were able to recoup and still carry on. My situation was my then boyfriend and then best friend scamming my money behind my back while I was having a very serious life crisis involving my child. I simply was too distressed and distracted to realize what they were doing. They tried to end my life after they completed draining every cent from me. I’m still alive and My child is fine, but we didn’t ever get right again financially, at least not yet. I had so many plans to help my sons dreams come true with it. Your story gives me hope, thanks.
That's so terrible,I know you went through feeling of guilt,embarrassment all feelings that you shouldn't feel but you do. Stay strong,this too will pass.
@@Oscylot88nice i must know you then, cause my dad and your dad are somewhat peers, his name was Steve Jobs. And I am also a part of the illumanati and ride a helicopter or 757 wherever I go.
Huge props to Caleb for showing how upset he is in a calm way that lays out exactly where he’s at in the situation, I’d be foaming at the mouth over that much money being scammed from me
If someone scammed me outta 5 quid I'd be mad...It's the money a bit, but it's the fact that people care so little about others that makes me angry. Caleb is an angel for not getting a hitman :D
hey bro sorry this happened… i know this isn’t much but i hope it helps❤ being scammed in any way, shape, or form is tragic and sad. i’ve been scammed before… but not of this magnitude!!! I’ll always support you man, been a fan of u since 2016-2017 (since i was a young teenager in middle school) hope everything goes well going forward😊
Hey Caleb. I paused at every part of this video to read each and every message you sent to this monster. It completely breaks my heart just how much optimism and positivity you lent to this guy (even though you were obviously in panic mode behind the scenes). I can tell from these messages (and your content) that your a kind soul and you would do anything for anyone you love. My partner is autistic and I see a lot of his brilliant traits in you. Much love, David from Scotland. ❤️
@@GOTTA8GO8GET8IT8 It's edited, so they probably said something different initially. idk if it's even possible to check edit history on YT, so... oh well.
Honestly it's hard to think that Caleb kept his cool throughout all of this. I really admire him for those redeeming qualities. Hopefully everything goes well and there are no more "jake's" trying to contact oompaville.
@@Mel-nw2kofr but like put yourself in Jakes shoes, how could you take hundreds of thousands of dollars all the while knowing you can’t follow through and just creating excuse after excuse it sounds like he has some kind of gambling problem reminds me of the whole sliker situation if you know about that.
Oompa i’ve been watching you for a long time, i’m so so so sorry that you ended up being taken advantage of. I know this probably isnt much to help but i hope it helps even just a little. Much love Caleb!!
PLEASE do not just let this guy get away with this. File the appropriate lawsuits when time and money allow. I would also look into seeing if he can be criminally prosecuted.
I went through something similar with a friend that's in Cyprus, not up to 2 months ago..... Sometimes it's better to just take your L and walk away.....
He was scammed out of atleast 400k, so that is not small claims, that is real lawsuit material. And with this kind of crime the loser pays hard. Also this is the kind of money the ADAs perk up for criminal charges yes. Since this was a blatant fraud with all kinds of contract breatches, lies and threats. I hope he files or better yet has already filed both
We got your back here Caleb! I'm happy to see that you didn't give up and are still going hard at making your dream come true. Honestly some true inspiration frfr !!!!
Message from the video: don’t let someone from discord/internet that claims to be an engineer help design or do anything for your company, they scam Sorry this happened bro, a lesser man may have gone insane, bankrupt, or even taken their own life. Chin up, you got this bro.
Right?! Like, he quit working for the person in the wrong, exposed him, went to the person being wronged and started working for him instead to try to fix what he unintentionally helped cause. A true baller that learned from his mistakes. Personal growth is important.
@@Sunny_Ray911 he did the right thing in the end yes, but i assume it was in his best interest. i hope caleb doesn't put too much trust in him. i'm sure he wont. he's not dumb, and this whole ordeal made him learn how people are. it was a hard lesson but i guarantee it was very effective.
As a small Texas based welding and fab shop, it is guys like Jake that makes everyone in this business with any honesty lives harder. I cannot tell you how many times I have had to get upfront material costs that barely cover half of what I am doing because people have been scammed by some guy coming through and ripping them off for the materials. I've lost out because after purchasing materials, they back off. F this guy. He should go to jail.
The fabrication shop that I work at as a machinist It is currently undergoing a similar type of fraud with one of the owners, we've had to amputate him from the situation, he has embezzled and misappropriated probably over a million dollars in the past year.... We had 9 weeks worth of paychecks bounce and as of now We still haven't received any tax information and it doesn't look like he paid the IRS either.... All in all I was out about 16 weeks of work and we're finding out more stuff he did on a nearly daily basis.... Customers are calling and saying that they never received their stuff even though they paid the guy, and now they can't get a hold of him.... Meanwhile all of the employees who worked on the project never got paid for the work they did and we were all under the impression that the deliveries were made and the customers had their stuff already. Ps ...His name is Mike Thomas and he's the father of Lane Thomas of the Chicago Nationals baseball team
I've been stuck in poverty and low income all of my life, so I know how stressful and scary being broke is. I also know how scary it is to being severely in debt due to unfortunate situations. You've been dealt a terrible and unfair hand and that hurts a lot. I want to help you, because I feel like you need this money more than I do to pay off your debts. If I still have a decent amount of money near the end of the month I'm going to donate more.
Someone in poverty giving their only extra income to a millionaire TH-camr is so cringey. You may be suffering from a parasocial relationship because this is honestly ridiculous. Oompaville makes more in a year than you’ll probably see in your lifetime, just being real. Keep your money dude. This is sad.
You can tell how long it took to film the video. The lights in the back gradually got brighter, and the sun went down. Props to you Caleb for working so hard. Wish you all the best, and hopefully this situation will be resolved asap. Actually love the merch I will buy with my last penny
Went to the merch store to pre order some candy, and it made me super happy to see it was all sold out. I'm glad you're starting to overcome this insane situation.
The fact he tried to blackmail Will makes it even sweeter that he got exposed. Will seemed like such a chill, shy dude in the first video. Glad Oompa wound up hiring him.
aw, am i the only one that felt so much worse seeing how supportive caleb was through the whole process?? asking “badass!! how was it?” after not hearing back for a while and getting a vacation excuse. or “hynobox, meditate!! relax!!” thinking jake might be stressing himself out over the machine, even though he was going through so much himself during this time. just to get scammed by a friend. you seem like a genuine, great human being caleb. i hope this gets resolved 🙏🏼
the fact that Caleb had to apologize on camera for getting aggressive is awful. i feel so bad that this happened to him and got in the way of his dream. we'll always be here for you bro and jake will get what he deserves
Thank you so much for telling your story. It can happen to every single one of us, and overcoming the shame that comes with getting scammed to expose this person and teach us from your experience definitively has to be difficult.
We stand by you, Caleb. I’m in the U.K. so my ability to purchase candy is very limited, but I’ll be here, liking, commenting and subscribing. Well done on your attitude in all of this man. I understand that there has been time for you to cool off, but I would definitely have exploded into a fiery ball of fury and depression well before this point, and I commend you on your maturity and your resolve.
@@ToeTV247yes it’s physically possible but I’m pretty sure they are referring to the high shipping cost which is almost as much as the sweets themselves.
Shipping costs 25$ and the price for the candy is 23$. I live in Norway so that explains the shipping price. I really want to support Caleb, but that's a lot of money for something I wont see for over a month.
I feel you. Even getting them shipped to Canada is $20. Don’t understand why it’s so expensive to get things shipped from the states across the border. I even live very close to the border. It’s wack. But I’ll definitely be supporting Oompa by watching and liking ever vid lol
I'm not a long time viewer, but I've seen your videos around the site over the years that I've enjoyed. However, I have been following this story and I'm happy to hear that you came out on top!! That is awesome!! Super happy for you, man
I don’t know. If he doesn’t face any repercussions, at least legally, dude will scam someone else. I am so happy you got things going! Congratulations!
@@Mel-nw2koit costs a lot to sue someone, and you take a big risk on being able to collect anything (esp if Jake really does have all his money in crypto)
@@Mel-nw2ko At the end of the video he said he was done with the whole thing and is putting it behind him which I can appreciate however I am pretty sure Jake will find someone else to take advantage.
I love that you repeated his name abundantly. Keeps it fresh, human, and a perpetual source of information for anyone that may risk doing business with him in the future.
We know nothing about behind the scenes, just your presence on camera. You seem so fun and positive, even in this darker time. I love watching your videos and your sense of humor. Please, do take care of yourself, and do what you can to keep your mind at peace! We love you and your content! I’m so sorry this happened to you, your friends and family ❤❤❤
This makes me so sad… you were so patient trying to get updates and being understanding when he was giving you BS and lies.. I really can’t comprehend how someone can actively do something so terrible to someone treating them so kind
You can tell Will had no idea about the fraud because when you asked "Didn't you guys build this?" he just straight up said no and sent the receipt for the machine they bought from China.
Can't believe the stress and anxiety you've had to endure. Proud of you for pushing through and hanging onto those goals and dreams! And congrats on the re-launch!
The fact you could have saved your childhood home and just outright bought this equipment yourself if only you had known and not been lied to pains me greatly. Much love brother your positivity is something I look up to and aspire to have myself
@@lightinthenight3835I mean he has a point about trusting strangers in the internet especially one you have met personally being in charge of a 1 mil investment without some background or investigation
You sir, you're an extremely kind, caring, and empathetic individual. Your family, friends, and employees are extremely lucky to have you in their lives. Your passion for your work will make you an extremely successful individual. While this unfortunate scam happened to you, the education you gained from it will help you tremendously as you grow the businesses. I'm excited to see what you do in life and would love to support your businesses. I look forward to buying some of your candy and you've earned my sub on TH-cam. Glad I came across your story.
tf you talkin about? this is why we need tests before people can pass on their genes....you should of stayed a stain on the mattress you subhuman.@@redscorpion1090
Holy sh** brother. This is amazing. I typically don't care for drama until it involves someone I genuinely think is an amazing person. This is one of those scenarios. You took a horrible situation, learned from it, flipped it on its head, and taught others on what to do/what not to do in said scenario. Major props and respect man. This is why I love this channel.
Acting with virtue is NOT "cringe". It's a what a real man should always do. My hat's off to you for "keeping your head when all about you were losing their's and blaming it on you."
The stress and emotions is palpable. It's insane that all of this has been happening behind the scenes and we all watched it without even realizing it the past couple years. The videos in the broom closet. The Alibaba truck. And throughout the toughest and most stressful times, you still managed to keep smiling. Knowing someone from my hometown could do all this is insanely inspiring. I'm so happy you're able to pull yourself out of this and still be the bigger man. We're all rooting for you, Caleb!💜
That Twitter response is wild… he straight up admitted he didn’t fulfill his end of the contract, took all the money Caleb sent him, and returned none of it once it was revealed that he breached the contract… that’s breach of contract y’all… Jake is gonna get backhanded by whatever court catches this
This entire story fills me with rage. I haven't had to put a minutia of a fraction of effort into anything like how I imagine you and your team had to with this. I doubt I could possibly imagine the stress and anxiety this whole ordeal brought on all of you. Glad to hear you made it out on top, this is an incredible story.
This is wild. The amount of effort it took to spin these lies, avoid and dismiss is insurmountable. I can't imagine the toll all this stress has taken on Caleb. I'll be waiting to hear details about the lawsuit that's about to unfold. I hope you get every penny back including emotional damages.
the one thing i genuinely appreciate from this video is that it started out with him being in BROAD DAYLIGHT then ended in pitch black darkness. it shows how passionate he is about this and shows how much he genuinely cares about his company and exposing jake. If you read this caleb, i hope things work out for you, and ill definitely be ordering some candy for me and my roommates best of luck
Yea we learned that after the fact. Luckily we reverse engineered a lot of the components. The machine is actually quite impressive at this point, aside from slight difficulty in maintenance.
Really is impressive the composure you have held to upload and do what you do through all that and didnt let it bring you down as much as it easily could for anyone. Keep on keepin brotha.
Respect to you dude! Honestly if you made behind the scenes videos of the candy being made or anything to do with the candy processes I'd watch. All the best to you and the team of sour boys because honestly nobody deserves this kind of treatment.
you're spot on about being grateful, this is the ultimate learning experience and you will likely never make a similar mistake again.. It's scary knowing snakes like this live among us everywhere
You can tell there were small bits in here where Caleb was close to breaking and crying…this is awful dude. I’m so sorry this happened to you and best believe I’m buying some of your candy. This video must’ve took unimaginable amounts of control to make.
The way you conveyed yourself and communicated this whole process was truly commendable and extremely professional. Please pursue charges against this POS
As someone who has a mom who runs a local framing shop (i can confirm the shipping chain/supply availability was horrible) It's beyond messed up that he milked that situation to hide his "fake labor"
never heard of this dude before these videos but wow i can already say oompa seams like such a nice a kind and loves everyone he works with also his fans didnt know you before these videos my man but ill support you for the rest of my life just because i can feel the positive an kind energy from you

You didn't know that nice people get taken advantage of? Have you heard of something like a fake charity before?
Have you heard about that story of a guy who won a lot of money I think from a lottery. like an absurd amount of money somewhere like $30,000,000 or something, and then ended up giving a majority of it or spending it to the point where he only had about $2,000,000 left.

I wonder if he saw this by now.
How do I tag Caleb so he can see this comment(if he hasn't already)
@oompaville
The fact Jake went from corporate business man to 14 year old Fortnite kid to Will is crazy
Just a bit more and he would've posted a local IP address
It's a scare tactic scammers tend to use. If they want something and you say no they try and use fear or retribution to get you to do what they want. They try to sound authoritative on the subject as if they have complete control when really they're floundering because they have nothing.
Bro didn't get the right seed
what do you mean he went to WIll? Will is the guy who exposed Jake and gave Caleb the evidence that he was being scammed and likely saved him a lot of money, he then quit his job with Jake and moved to Texas to work for Caleb and is 100% the reason that Caleb was able to get the machines up and running and pretty well save his business, if your implying that Will is Jake then your wrong since there is literally a recorded phonecall between Jake and Will in this video proving that they are no the same person, and its a horrible insult to Jake and diminishes the risk and effort he had to take in order to quit his job and betray his former boss(who was a scammer so its deserved betrayal imo) and pick up his whole life and move to another state to work for someone he has never even met in person.
Sorry small nitpick, you mean Will at the end there right?
I’m so sorry that this happened to you Caleb. Its sad that you were pouring so much into your candy company and Jake was just trying to get more and more from you. I hope your company becomes a huge success as time goes on. Also, thank you for making such funny content Caleb. I’ve been watching you since you had 700,000 subs. You are a kind and funny guy.

I hope this makes it to court.
I want Caleb and his lawyers to walk in with a fat stack of evidence. I want witnesses, I want a systematic deconstruction of the lies which results in proper punishment.
Pp case
Me too
If this was going to court why would he be making smarmy yt videos? Giving the court things to use against him. Seems dumb af
@@EricDeMilio Why do you speak when your head is so empty? You clearly have no concept of how the legal system works. During the discovery phase of a legal proceeding, you share everything that will be used as evidence with the other party. There's no "gotcha" moment in actual court; the cases are won on the merit of their facts. Furthermore, making videos like these serves as 1. a way to make some money for Oompa, 2. a chance to organize all the evidence and arguments, and 3. a chance to provoke further lies from Jake. Overall, lots of positives with almost no foreseeable negatives. When people say they can't talk about it because of court proceedings that's almost always because they are on the wrong side of things and want to minimize the ammunition for those accusing them. There is a smaller proportion of cases where lawyers will advise radio silence but it's typically because the individual is in the wrong.

2:20 even if those are all true when you enter a contract to custom make a machine, the source of the machine shouldn’t be “exposed” or “leaked” to the client, they should be updated on every step. I work in contract engineering this dude is full of it even in his own statement he breaks multiple rules of ethics, and falsely advertised his services and admits to basically pulling babies first theranos. 27:59 scam. Buy a couple terabyte external drives and save everything copied to it by date. 32:45 I’ve caught pneumonia more than 3 times. Walking pneumonia, traditional pneumonia, all that and I still do my thing. Hey Caleb, submit all this to the NCEES. It may crush any of his certifications and block him from advancing as an engineer. 54:30 seriously, report him to NCEES, 6sigma, all the US engineering licensing authorities.
Yeah when I saw the word "leaked" I got chills.
Yes. Hopefully he sees this... Although I assume he has at least somewhat of a plan going forward...
I hope he sees this because Jake needs to have his certifications called into question.
@@thisisreallystupidhelpan he basically admitted to pulling a fast one in his own tweets and since Will was ethical and was clear in communications we have blackmail and admissions of fraud. That’s not “call into question” that’s revoking your college degree.
@@durandus676silly question, if Oompa doesn’t see this. Could any one call him in and sight this video as evidence and potentially give them the twitter of the scammer as well? Or would they need all the blue print and sales info from those two strictly involved? The ladder would make more sense but I figured I’d ask.
Jake: "I did not commit fraud. I just lied to Caleb repeatedly, misappropriated funds, begged for money with more lies, and then never fulfilled my end of the contract." Totally not a scam, Jake.
lol
“I did not commit fraud, i just accepted money under false pretences”
Its like saying "i dont lie, i tell invalid truths". 😂
He prob won’t win in court from how it seems. they appeared to have only agreed to like minimal things in the contract because he trusted him, and in the end Caleb got a working machine. The guy can say it genuinely cost him that much n took that long. it’s not ABSURDLY priced, just really badly, plus extra for all the expediting seemed to be in the contract to be done if agreed as well. Almost everything he agreed with. He would have had a much better case if he refused it on pick up, but MABEY a judge will rule it was considered fraud to take Chinese equipment n blank it out n write things to make it look like your own with the purpose of defrauding Caleb out of money, or he could rule it legally a home made machine or even redesigned instead if covered over and misled. I think it depends on if you can PROVE the intentions of Jake when he did it this way.
regardless Oompa would end up just wasting even more money and going further in debt to sit on his hands in the court system forever. mabey you get lucky at the end and he covers legal fees and u mabey get some money judged to you.. thats only step 1. you then need to go wait into the system for appeals if they don’t pay. then they could hide their money eventually. its a LONG pointless game
Thanks for sharing this. I got scammed for a quarter million over something way less smart than what you were working on. It makes me feel better to know that at least you were able to recoup and still carry on. My situation was my then boyfriend and then best friend scamming my money behind my back while I was having a very serious life crisis involving my child. I simply was too distressed and distracted to realize what they were doing. They tried to end my life after they completed draining every cent from me. I’m still alive and My child is fine, but we didn’t ever get right again financially, at least not yet. I had so many plans to help my sons dreams come true with it. Your story gives me hope, thanks.

The fabrication shop that I work at as a machinist It is currently undergoing a similar type of fraud with one of the owners, we've had to amputate him from the situation, he has embezzled and misappropriated probably over a million dollars in the past year.... We had 9 weeks worth of paychecks bounce and as of now We still haven't received any tax information and it doesn't look like he paid the IRS either.... All in all I was out about 16 weeks of work and we're finding out more stuff he did on a nearly daily basis.... Customers are calling and saying that they never received their stuff even though they paid the guy, and now they can't get a hold of him.... Meanwhile all of the employees who worked on the project never got paid for the work they did and we were all under the impression that the deliveries were made and the customers had their stuff already.

@@ToeTV247 The problem being the price of shipping
@@ToeTV247yes it’s physically possible but I’m pretty sure they are referring to the high shipping cost which is almost as much as the sweets themselves.
Shipping costs 25$ and the price for the candy is 23$. I live in Norway so that explains the shipping price. I really want to support Caleb, but that's a lot of money for something I wont see for over a month.
I feel you. Even getting them shipped to Canada is $20. Don’t understand why it’s so expensive to get things shipped from the states across the border. I even live very close to the border. It’s wack. But I’ll definitely be supporting Oompa by watching and liking ever vid lol
