    This video is an opinion and in no way should be construed as statements of fact. Scams, bad business opportunities, and fake gurus are subjective terms that mean different things to different people. I think someone who promises $100K/month for an upfront fee of $2K is a scam. Others would call it a Napoleon Hill pitch.

      @Jasper Percabeth Believe it or not, most of the major corporate scandals in this century and even today are still uncovered by old school journalism. Just a few examples include FT's reporting on Wirecard, Olympus, and many others, as well as WSJ's coverage of Capital Assets and of course the old school Enron scandal. I'm not saying that independent investigations are useless, but it takes big papers with resources to take on huge corporations.

      If you can record it legally, record it. If you need to write a receipt, write it on anything, gets a signature, get what you can because you don’t know what you might need. Use crayon and scrap paper if that’s all you have, DOCUMENT DOCUMENT DOCUMENT! And don’t toss it just because it isn’t immediately effective, it can be handy later.
      If you don’t, that’s how you lose a lot of money and resources, whether that be to some big scam or just a (previously) trusted friend. WRITE. IT. DOWN.

    Hey Coffee! I'm in a film class at UC Berkeley, and we recently had a guest documentarian on to talk about the GME period. I brought your work up, and he mentioned being familiar with it! It was really cool to learn just how wide an audience your content has touched.
