    This is real. I’ve been completely fucked over, I am blown away by the support. Do not attack anyone mentioned in the video please.
    I love making content for you guys, and this is easily the most real video I’ve ever made. I revere nothing but my family and closest friends. They are one in the same as this business. I will do everything in my power to keep the dream alive. Pt 2 coming soon.

    As a lawyer, I see people ripped off all the time. There are always warning signs. Never enter into a big contract without first meeting the person face to face, visiting their workplace, speaking with their other clients. If you can’t afford to fly to meet them and visit their workshop/business, you can’t afford to enter into the contract. Definitely look at their previous work and speak to their former client’s, and know what questions you want to ask. If you are getting something built, visit the factory regularly. If you can (and you should be able to), stagger the payments so that you can see the work is getting done as you are paying. Finally, never contract a friend/internet acquaintance who is an up-and-coming professional to do professional work for you. That kind of thing is usually really hard, and inexperienced people generally don’t have the ability to do it. Please learn from this poor guy’s mistake.

      Some solid advise. Doing business with family and friends is definitely stressful and can lead to some bad outcomes. But is looks like he's making it work. If you have no experience there is a world of consultants out there. And you can't just entrust the the success of your business on one guy. You said multiple payments in stages is better. After an initial payment, all other payments would require parts lists and labor costs, and a physical inspection to make sure the work is getting done. In my personal experience, the more casual the relationship with a manufacturer, the more chance there is of a project going south. You have to lay out your expectations at the beginning, remain professional, and make sure the work is getting done. I really feel bad that this happened to Oompaville. With someone of Oompa's intelligence, I think he learned a lot, and now has the expertise to take things to the next level. You will find that if you cross train your staff, and somebody gets ill or leaves, the business just keeps moving along. Always be training someone like an Ops Manager to take over your job. If you do that, you can take a vacation from time to time, or attend to family matters without worrying that your business will collapse. Cross training lowers the stress level for everyone.

      Jake's problem is that he asked Will to go to Oompa. This means he has now direct connection to Jake. Will, being a childhood friend of Jake, would have access to Jake's address, probably some conversations, and other important stuff. Him, being friends with the culprit, Jake, is a strong witness in court.
      If Will doesn't exist, there's no chance that Oompa can get the 1M back since they never met in person, like ever.

    I can't even begin to imagine the stress and anxiety this caused you. As an avid fan for 6 years I've grown a lot as well as you have. My family owns a comic store in Alabama. We've had a similar incident but not nearly as bad as you've had it. One of our properties was being sold out from under us and due to the law we were forced to move within 7 days of just moving into the property that we'd just almost paid off. I wish you the best Caleb and I will continue to watch your content until youtube becomes irrelevant.

      It's only when you give up, that you lose. See, with success comes trials and tribulations. But if you've built something that works, and you have proven that it can scale up, you can ride out some pretty severe storms. It won't be fun in the short term, but in the long term, you can definitely get back on top.

      Yeah, it is fraud. After all they had contract where he was promised specially manufactured machine made by this company, but it was just an resale. Ofc, we haven't seen the contract so who knows if there's some stuff there, but from information we have this seem like actual fraud and breach of contract.
