- Theo Von, Brendan Schaub, Whitney Cummings, Jim Cornette, were all allegedly defrauded by Kast Media and Colin Thomson. How did this happen and how can we prevent it in the future? Here's my investigation.

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 the "opportunity of a lifetime."

🚨I’ve seen people concerned for me over the “I make 4 figures in the $10,000,000 studio” comment and to be CLEAR that was a joke!
I was just surprised by how much podcasts make and wrote that in as a throwaway line.
I think most ppl know how absurd the idea is that I could have 2 employees, and a $10,000,000 studio if the channel actually made a few thousand bucks a year, however I wanted to clarify so no one worries about me.🥺
If I ever need money I’ll just sell the flying lambo. We’re good. 🫡
I hear that Christopher Lloyd has a flying DeLorean you could part exchange
I'd bet my money on that robot seems pretty futuristic may fetch a lot of money
It's actually 5 figures 😎
Ah... coffee.. no worries. You've got an unpaid intern now. Just grind him down to keep the $10,000,000 studio afloat.
You’re a legend, stay up coffee!
Every scammer appreciates your journalistic integrity until you call THEM out 😂
You can call out a man, but Kast is the dream of the vision of independence!
"I appreciate your journalistic integrity"
"But also please shut up and let me tell my side of it, you're making my lies look bad"
The way he went on a massive spiel talking about how nice and great he is to try to avoid answering the actual question is hilarious lol. You can tell when people have been PR trained.
@@Hydraav2 whats actually funny is that he says he appreciates what coffee does but apparently doesnt have any idea what he does because else he wouldnt try to deflect with these stupid excuses like "this and that happend in a podcast episode and we had to move" when you can simply check that and debunk it in a matter of minutes/hours
When I hit a million subscribers I'm going to scam them all just so Coffee makes a video about me
Colin Thomson spoke from 3:35 to 4:43 and didn't say a single thing. Takes a special type of narcissist to pull that off 🤣
well you know he's a musician
I’ve literally just watched that bit and seen this message and laughed 😂
@@biigsmokeeoriginally
Common conman, has nothing but buzzwords to try and dazzle people into just going along.
Actually it's textbook and called Word Salad; lots of words that mean nothing.
"C-C-Could you please not interrupt me while I am lying?" lol.
Mandem Is just reading a script to coffee
Coffee: "so what happened to the $4million?"
Collin: "you see I used to be a musician...."
What do you think?
Hahahahaha
Collin yoloed them!!!
As soon as this dude said "I wanted to talk to you, I appreciate the work you do." I knew he was guilty as hell lmao
That’s fine to start with if you follow up with a truthful answer lmao
@@nattiecraft immediately launching into garbled marketing speech is **like** telling the truth, right?
Exactly-if he wasn’t guilty he would have cut coffee off to defend himself and would have been angry not calm. Lmao
Beyond lmfao
Logan said the same thing
Glad that Theo named him. We need to know these people's names and faces.
Exactly man, it's far too often that the people exposing these things are actually the ones propagating them as well
Jim Cornette named the dude over a year ago, but I'm sure Theo gets more views.
@@justindusza9047unfortunately you need big names like Theo and Coffeezilla to put it out to a broader audience
Amen!@@justindusza9047
Theo has hips for daze
You know someone is guilty when they say "they respect his work"
😂
Fr best thing they can do is say nothing about that because if they say they don’t like him they also seem guilty.

The saddest part is always when the scammers themselves say to Coffeezilla *”I appreciate the work that you do in exposing scammers.”* As if they genuinely believe that they’re not one of those people. Greed really does blind a person’s morals.
You are so right!!
Or they have different morals that don't take well being of other ppl into account
They know they're scamers. They're just pretending they're not, by saying they appreciate his work.
It’s a manipulation tactic that has probably worked really well in dealing with podcasters and celebs. It’s just simple flattery. “Once he likes me he will be willing to do business”
But CoffeeZilla isn’t trying to sell something, or get an ego stroke, so the same manipulation tactics are definitely not going to work.
@@verti3213I really don't think anyone can justify morals of that natture. Noone really likes the "might makes right" morals
Coffee: "So you are being accused of stealing 4 mil, what's your side of the story" Kast guy : "It all started when I was born .... "
LMAO
"In the beginning..."
@@GekkoOne In the beninging
Robinhood SEC hearing all over again
I know! And the little 'oh you're so good at what you do and you've got real journalist integrity' trying to sweet talk his way outta this. 🙄
This Colin guy has a future in politics. Just answered a simple question with paragraphs of jiberish
He also sounds like Logan Paul with his explanation
The way he moves when he talks seems like a dead giveaway
Sounds like Kamala
He wanted to explain the whole situation to hopeful garner sympathy or to manipulate people. Classic move
Also he talks like he's super nervous
the guy never intended to run a long-term podcast network; he was trying to hold it together long enough to get acquired, get a big payday, and walk away. That's the giant scam; a lot of start-ups never intend to stay in business; they hold it together long enough to go public via an IPO, get the massive payday, and then watch the company burn to the ground or be bought out by a more prominent firm
Damn that dude is scary, because he was able to come off so genuine. He was very good at mimicking the presentation of someone with good intentions, that just got in over their head
You can tell he isnt actually this person however. Because A) his priority in explaining what went wrong is to first establish his innocence. Its like when someone calls 911 and their first priority isnt saving the person injured, but rather establishing they had nothing to do with it.
B) he has no patience. After being pressed about just explaining where the money went rather then giving an alibi, he gets upset. A genuine person who made a huge mistake still understands and recognizes the harm their actions caused. You dont get offended by it.
Started out going "man maybe theo was wrong about who this guy actually is" but very quickly changed, "oh there he is. Theres the bad guy. He was just hiding in there. Got it".
Just typical sociopathic con artist behaviour. He's the type of person who will look in your eye with a straight face and swear blind that he's not stabbing you even as he's sticking the knife in.
No, he dripps with con man.
Love your comment!
My brother in Christ, if you think this guy seems sincere, please do yourself a favor and give power of attorney to someone who has better judgement than you do.
@@stefaniedc1128 Playing know it all is nice but you've been fleeced before. By a mechanic, by someone, and they smiled when they did it. Don't assume you or anyone is unable to be conned, it's remarkably easy to give into human habit and trust people. Even the most untrusting people can be won over in context.
I just love how all these scammers begin their interview with how much they love your journalist integrity and professionalism!
You gotta inflate their ego when you're about to lie to them
Grooming
😂😂😂😂😂
Every time 😂
Sociopaths know how to manipulate. However people in the know see through the bullshit easily.
I refuse to believe someone would be able to trick Brendan Schaub
😂
Bwahahahaha, guy talks to pet rocks in his head.

Greed does remarkable things...
😉
It’s why if you’re a podcaster or any kind of streamer, it’s better to be an independent than in a network. Excellent work Coffee!
They are to weak to do anything.
Of course they might get interested when the network says they can somehow increase their monthly revenue from $5k to $50K, by somehow 'leveraging' the popularity of the network itself...
Not really. An agency will be able to get you way bigger names than cold emailing them.
There's this "strength in numbers" idea in streaming industry. That's why influencers always do collaborations. Having under one agency will help you to get more followers. That's the value proposition in that.
Not exactly most podcasts do most things independently, however Advertising and obtaining sponsors is a whole other ball game.
The SECOND Collin started talking to Coffee it was obvious that the whole thing was a scam. He was regurgitating a sales pitch instead of answering questions. "Did you scam people?" "What we sell is independence."
As soon as I hear the accused say" I love the work you do " about Coffee, I usually lose hope
LOLOLOL that reverse psychology move has become so cliché, it's predictive at this point 😭🤣🤣
Dude so true.
Yes! As soon as that was said I’m thinking “you’re guilty and he’s not going to go easy on you because you gave him some hollow flattery”.
To be clear he would never ever speak to coffee unless he knew that coffee probably had all the information pretty much to take him down anyways right?? That's what's so crazy to me about coffees channel, sorry I'm kinda new to this, but I just don't understand how this guy gets so much information on these people?!
Trying to butter him up like an English muffin
When someone accused of fraud accepts an interview and then doesn't accept questions until a gaslighting monologue is given, means a giant red flag.
I laughed out loud. Like, bro. He’s like the person hiding in the curtain thinking you can’t see him because he can’t see you. 😆
"...EXCUSE ME, YOU WANTED MY SIDE SO LET ME TELL YOU MY SIDE!"
That is a great summary of most scammer interviews lol
I’m a restaurant worker and I learned quickly that I need to shake someone down after two missed checks.
The most unbelievable part of this story is that Brendan has listeners
As Mr. Schaub’s English to coloring book translator, I have been advised to respond with the below:
🗿🫵👎🗿
Mostly just people with worse CTE than he has.
Addia is king 🤴
His standup is horrible but his podcasts are pretty good
I'm 1.
Not laughing
You know it’s bad when Brendan Schaub isn’t the villain of this story
I mean he wasn’t the villain in the Bobby lee and khalyla arc she was the villian
@@weepo2651 I support neither of them but if you’re a Brendan fan, you need your head checked.
@@naturalbridge5330I have no idea who Brendan Schaub is. Can you tell me why he's a "villian"? I'm really curious
@@naturalbridge5330Don't like his comedy. Don't like his personality. But it would be disingenuous to say he's always the villain. You'd be surprised just how much comedian drama makes even the shitty people look good
he's in you're head rent free 🤣
You know it's seriously fucked up when Theo Von is visibly angry. First time I've ever seen it
Only other time is when he brought up “Dave/lil Dicky” stealing jokes from him
@@JustTryingToRUclipshaha true. Even then he was making a bit of it. No jokes on this one
Yeah how can he support his expensive cocaine habit without millions
@helix9268 your in the wrong place if you don't like Theo we all love him and his Vests
@@helix9268 a wendy's job can support it, I know i've seen them.
Never trust someone who uses a large volume of big words to answer a simple question. People who speak to fatigue your brain should be avoided.
So true. Jordan Peterson is the first that comes to mind.
@@Warlock_Sack A clinical psychologist typically does dude. Not a great example.
Colin warning brian about the attempt to disrupt the transaction is just the epitome of no self awareness and entitlement and privilege. Youre gonna sue me? And yet you owe millions to your clients? Is colin being sued? If not, why not? He's clearly a scammer and he clearly has the funds and assets. Im so sick of people being so egotistical and narcissistic. I hope he reaps everything he sows.
Coffeezilla: People are saying you stole 4 million dollars what do you say to that?
Colin: I'm a musician originally...
😂
"It's about freedom of speech from the corporate media.."
He’s still a musician just one with a failing business
I cant believe an astute businessman like Brendan Schaub could get into this mess
Two business degrees, just goes to show you how savvy this Thompson fellow is
Hahahaha
If this was sarcasm, it’s the funniest thing on the internet today 😂
I know right, balls deep bapa
WATER
Connecting the dots in this way is so satisfying. It’s like troubleshooting tech. Good job on the video
I hired a bunch of my friends and over paid myself and my friends and the money dried up! Typical scumbag management.
Most management and admin jobs are glorified email and calendar admin assistant jobs. Too many pencil pushers overpay themselves and underpay the talent, i.e. the people who can deal with cleaning toilets, climbing ladders, breaking their backs, and/or getting shit on by the public without support.
I don't know why a scammer would even agree to speak on a Coffeezilla video. It never ends well.
Ego. It's why they think everything they do will go unnoticed in the first place.
They are arrogant and overconfident that they can repair their integrity
Self delusion
All true above.
Because in the scammer’s mind, he isn’t a scammer, and he’s so full of himself that he believes he can convince everyone else that he’s not a scammer with empty words and easily disprovable claims
Colin is one of those dudes that makes me understand why the mob did what they did to those who played around with their money.
What did the mob do?

Amazing journalistic work! First time seeing your channel, impressed will sub for sure. What’s funny is Colin really tried to butter you up and he thought this interview was a good idea 😂 he only made it so much worse 😂😂
This was fantastic! Great info brotha
The whole, "I'm glad you reached out. I appreciate you. I appreciate the work that you do, and your journalistic integrity and you're going to be fair" is a blatant attempt off the bat to manipulate 🤣🤣
I appreciate this comment, the work you’ve put in, your journalistic integrity, being a disruptor, bucking the trend, going against the grain…
You can tell that they're sociopaths/narcissists too because it NEVER sells, and yet they just go into with so much confidence like they're Meryl Streep or something. Dude, bro, dude - we didn't even make it through your first sentence. It isn't working.
@@woodside4lifei appreciate this reply to the comment, the work you've both put in, the journalistic integrity you both have, both being a disruptor, bucking the trend, going against the grain...
Lmao right? He thought he was being slick
Right?! "I'm so glad that you caught me red handed doing something shady and I'm really looking forward to being as honest and accountable as when I started this scam" 😂
i’m genuinely surprised you’re able to nail all the interviews, especially with people who know who you are. they never learn.
I think a lot of these scammy types claim to know his work, but I doubt they're sitting at home watching Coffee's content. They're not actually familiar with his work, hence why they always underestimate him and think they can just talk their way out of it lol
It’s no different than people that think they can outsmart police investigators during interrogations.
You don’t lead companies of this size with this much money without some form of narcissism. He thinks he’s the smartest guy in the room, but he literally torpedo’d his business by robbing Peter to pay Paul. A tale as old as the Bible.
they feel the heat and tryna clear their name
Because people in the real world don’t care about this. And the people that watch coffeizilla don’t even support the content he destroys so it doesn’t matter
@@PseudoTertioohuh?
You close with a good message. Great video man.
Coffee, your ability to explain these massive financial situations. To a person like myself is an absolute gift. And obviously, a lot of hard work. I appreciate you sir, and just love your future detective theme 😊
I love how Colin basically goes "well, we didn't have the money to pay them". That's not the creators' fault. You need to pay them.
These aren't poor little individuals, this is a deal gone bad between multiple big companies that have big name talent. Its interesting, but the outrage is unwarrented. Get worked up about people screwing over actual individuals, not these companies.
"So if you don't have the money to pay them, why did you tell them you had the money to pay them."
"Hey so shut up anyway none of this was my fault."
@@nightowl9519 You deny people's humanity to justify your own apathy
@@nightowl9519 That’s not true. Not everyone owed money is as big as Theo Von. Theo Von spoke out because he can afford to do that. There are multiple podcasters who signed the BS deal and haven’t said anything because they are desperate to recoup some of their money since it’s how they make their living. These aren’t all millionaires.
@@nightowl9519it is a Ponzi scheme. They needed new/big talent to get more investors to pay the old/big talent. They weren’t actually making money to pay the talent ….
Anytime checks are late every month.., it’s a Ponzi scheme.
"I appreciate your work and I know you're going to tell a fair story." The fact that people are willing to talk to Coffeezilla proves that no one ever sees themselves as the bad guy.
No people know when they are the bad guy. People just protray themselves as the good guy to try masking the fact that they are the bad guy. They know what they're doing is wrong but they think you're stupid and can't see through the mask. The ones who are really good at it are typically the ones who get voted into power.
This Colin guy in particular was so arrogant, that he could do that episode and still would be protected behind his mask because he thought Coffeezilla was too dumb to put it all together
Like a criminal who’s obviously guilty talking to cops trying to seem innocent
No, that's not why he said that. He was posturing himself in a way to suggest that by telling his side if the story, it makes the discussion more "fair" , which implies that what he's about to say levels the playing field. It's a way to subvertingly influence how somebody is about to perceive information.
Nah, he just believes he can bs himself out of this....
That’s exactly it
Coffee: "Where's the money?"
Colin: "We'll get to that, but first let me tell my story. So I was born..." 🤥🤥🤥
He's desperate and tried to bluffed so hard but it clearly shows that he's a scammer through & through.
What I like the most about coffeezilla is that he doesn't let people play him. He is focused on extracting information and that's it. Direct. No BS.
You know something is fishy when instead of answering a clear question someone tries to give a full speech of how great they are, and the many things they accomplished than others wouldn't have of.
“Before I answer that, let me talk about our vision.”
Almost like a trained politician.
Then when he got called out, he's just like "hey can I finish the story I never actually started?'
@@magetsalive5162 That came to my mind too. If sounds like you are hiding something....you are definitely hiding something
My ex boss and ex wife would both talk like that. Neither could give straight answers, neither could be trusted in the end.
Never fails to amuse me when a scammer is in a call with you and says "I love the work you do" like they say that too most people and can get away with whatever
If anything if they say that its giveaway that they are in trouble lol
Complimenting the person in front of them is in the scammer's DNA. Scammer's are people pleasers with their words, but traitors with their actions. I used to work with a boss who had that personality. He would say what ever he thought the person in front of them wanted to hear if he was trying to sell them something. And he would do the same exact thing if he was trying to cover up a lie. A truly toxic boss, scammers operate the same way. Empty promises and selfish action.
Most of these guys just think they can talk their way out of it because they're so smart. Same with SBF
Or when they want to "tell the whole story" when you start questioning the obviously BS statements they're making.
It’s like the pedos saying they’re fans of Chris Hansen as they’re getting caught in the house
I love your background. Very calming effect
man you have patience because i cannot stand when i ask a question and someone doesn't answer it.
I’m glad Theo isn’t being quiet about this or anything, calling him out by name and photo, I love it
Amen to dat
Ain't slander if it's true
You’d think that anyone concerned about their image or criminal litigation would shut up and lawyer up, but these narcissists als ways believe they can talk their way out of it. Love how Coffee flat out asks them the real questions and applies direct pressure instead of letting them drone on.
Scammers and conmen always think they can talk their way out. They arr used to manipulating people and twisting things around so get people to do what they want. Of course they would think they can just worm their way out of this.
He's doing work that real journalists are supposed to do
That's a very good observation about them and fits my impression from experiences with some on a dime.
Yeah, if you're not a victim you'd probably go into hiding the second Coffeezilla contacts you
Everyone is always surprised that criminals don't shut up and lawyer up, but a shocking number of them want to try to talk their way out of it, especially the scammers (scammers generally are charismatic speakers and are use to swindling people).
First ive seen of this dudes channel but that fkn interview is beautiful. Bravo
*Every scammer Coffee confronts* “I appreciate what you do. You stop the bad guys”

fascists eating fascists, love it.
@@evolicious You keep using that word "fascist"...but I do not think it means what you think it means. Are the fascists in the room with you right now? Blink twice if you're in danger...
Anyone who can't answer a simple question straightforward and has to go on a tangent of his life story is a liar. Point blank.
@@evolicious??
I like when he got upset because he couldn't get his bs out uninterrupted.
ANYBODY looking at this kind of a deal needs to have an attorney that specializes in Intellectual Property, and contract law. If they don't, they're an idiot. You can ALWAYS have your attorney look over a contract. If the person offering the contact says things like "It's just the standard contract" or "It's just boilerplate" that's a serious red flag. ALL IP contracts should be looked over by an attorney the talent hires before signing. If the media company is unhappy about that, it's likely time to walk away.
Great stuff, may favorite investigative journalist on the web
I could tell 5 seconds into Colin talking he was guilty. Man skated around the issue better than most pro ice skaters
Yea but these dumb as "creators" signed another deal based on collecting from a prior bad deal. No you cut your losses and sue them. That's it.
You know, I've never seen a sincere apology from a dude with bleached hair.
Because he is white does not mean he is guilty
Scratching and touching your face is a definite sign someone is lying. just watch how many times he does it
He had the coke jitters
Coffee: What's going on with the 4 million?
Colin: I was born in a small farm in Kentucky on a fall afternoon. My mother bless her soul was a kind woman who worked at the local bakery while my father a sheriff's deputy. My formative years were typical like any other child. I enjoyed my fair share of trouble making and we drive my parents wild. They were punish me by having me clean the barn. It was during one of these punishments where I met my Maeve, in between all the hay was a small kitten with beautiful stripes of black and orange mixing into her white fur. A little timid at first......
Your humour was only superseded by your elegant writing 😂
Ya but what about the money?
Hold on, you asked about my cat so can i tell my story?
Coffeezilla always got these intense music in the background. And i love it
"... Mind if I tell my story?". Translated means, 'dont interrupt my lies with truth!'
Probably not a smart idea to scam creators who talk to the masses on a daily basis. Everyone will know his name especially after this episode. Great work as usual Coffeezilla
Tell that to the Canadian Government. 😂😂😂😂😂
@@jabron.destoroyahwhat would be more insane?
Especially someone universally loved like Theo
Also those guys can presumably afford lawyers
It's seems to have worked though, as none of them read the fine print before they signed
Theo is a boss. I saw his video and was super impressed that he kept naming the guy and putting up his picture. This is how we weed out corruption…. Slowly
What a legend
I’m not sure. Calling out blatant fuckery has proven pretty useless lately. The only way to make change is to make it unprofitable to do said fuckery.

I am used of guilty people saying that "they weren't aware of the crime" or knowing about the crime but saying "well, they gained something as a result."... stealing is stealing people 😩
It’s insane to me that these scammer guys are always willing to talk to Coffeezilla. Then again they’re probably just assuming that they’re smarter than all the other scammers he’s caught.
he was a good physical liar. he did a good job selling the threats excuse.
Narcissism. One heck of a drug.
the real problem is people dont understand paper trails exist and even further dont realize there are people willing to follow them without getting paid to do it, and therefor break the law in broad daylight.

The scammer guy answers questions like grandpa Simpson from the Simpsons; all jibberish and no point. 😂
Note to self: if I ever bleach my hair like a d-bag and decide to rip people off, ignore Coffee’s invitation to explain myself.
The problem is that these people think they’re smarter than everyone else. So If you’re enough of a narcissist to do the former, you’re too much of a narcissist to not do the latter

Coffeezilla: "Where did the 4 million dollars go?"
Colin Thomson: "UH UH UH... LOOK OVER THERE!!!" -RUNS AWAY
I love how he right away began to butter Coffee up. Go to the start of the interview and watch the smile on Coffee's face as soon as he starts saying how great Coffee is and how he's a great journalist and will have integrity or whatever. As soon as Coffee is on screen, he is already smiling hard. 4:45 to pinpoint that smirk.
That dude legit believed he could outsmart coffee like he did everybody else. Some people can really smell these con artists a mile away, my radar was going off from the start.
I love that rich people and scammers hiding their assets is so common theres a company that specializes in and blatantly advertises it
Huh? What company?
lol expect that that’s not what this is at all … Kast is a marketing / middleman agency not a tax evasion service … your comprehension skills are that of a small child
Did you guys not watch the video?! Tf. The “wyomingllc” he used to put his trust under so it’s not under his name.. literally says “we hide your assets from bankruptcies, etc, etc.
@@HighlyRegardtedare you ok bro
@@HighlyRegardteddid you watch the video?
I love when the scammers talk to coffee and really think they’ll get out of it lol
They probably think ignoring him would make them seem more suspicious.
Its a level of narcissism. Lying and cheating got them to the top, now maybe lying can get them out of the whole. Think of SBF when being interviewed by friendler MSM and when interviewed by people who didn't buy his schtick.
It's like those suspects who talk to the police. They don't understand the gravity of the words "anything you say can and will be used against you." Talking to the police will get you nothing, and could lose you everything. At best, something you say could just not be useful. At worst, it could be crucial testimony the prosecution uses to incriminate you. SAY NOTHING. Especially if the detective is Coffeezilla. He will get you.
@@blakksheep736some people aren’t as smart as they think they are. This guy would talk to cops after a murder thinking he could get out of it. Some anti social personality disorder going on here.
Hell yeah. As it turns out thinking you're smarter than other people is an important aspect of being a scammer. Some of them actually are super smart and they have real wealth and power. This dude is just another hack trying to make a quick buck.
the most mind blowing thing tbh is the figures in which these podcasts are operating under. way more than I ever would've imagined, and those numbers are being thrown around like normal. says more about the money behind RUclips that isn't seen.
wow.... immediately pop that " i love your work and appreciate your time " strat right away 😂 dude is sweating
Thank god I thought Theo was caught up scamming😂
The Rat King? Never
@@ForgiveZharion imagine trying to scam in a Coffee Zilla comment section
The opposite, he got scammed and still fulfilled sponsor obligations throughout the payments not showing up.
This caught me way off guard lol
Theo is the last person on earth
Just goes to show: If your employer, partner or whatever else is not paying you on time, ditch them immediately. There is no coming back from that.
This happened to me where I worked. They lower some workers salary down to 50% coz they lost some money coz someone stole part of the income but they do still have some money to pay us. Funny coz my employer didnt say the reason why he cut down to only some of us. It is against the contract we agreed on so i quit. He treated a few of us like shit n yet he still paylid his brother n people he knew longer good salary with the same amount of work.
? My boss rarely paid on time, but every year I got bonuses and a pay rise
cool@@supersai4198
@@supersai4198well congratulations you’re in the minority. Glad you had a nice experience
I wonder if part of it is that some of these folks treated podcasting as kind of a side hustle / supplemental income, and so didn't go after the money as they would if it were their primary income. Listen to that guy who didn't get upset till the payments were six months late. Who in their right mind would wait that long, unless they didn't rely on that money to survive. I'm not saying that justifies stealing, I'm just saying maybe that's what enabled the stealing to get so out of hand.
I do the same pen flip in my hand as Coffeezilla! Sick skills man! Great video.
Crazy story and awesome video. Thanks 🙏
It’s crazy how he drowns you in compliments and assurances while lying directly to your face 😂
Coffeezilla needs to get the Vine meme of the priest dunking the baby in water and a voice over saying "wheres the money lebouski"
Yup. As soon as I heard him fluffing Coffee up with compliments, my red flags meter starting going crazy lol
@@siiiiiuu7 Yep. In business, don't butter me up. Show me tangible results and that you know what you're doing. If our venture is successful, then we can celebrate together.
It's called "love bombing" or "ego-building statements". It's used very often by manipulative cult leaders and narcissists alike. Thankfully, I'm immune to flattery so the minute I feel someone doing it to me, red flags go off.
I love that Bryan used "consider this a serious caution" right back at Colin and he considers his own phrasing a threat 😂
Well, he doesn't. It was an excuse.
@@father3dollarbill obviously, there's too much hypocrisy to point it all out in one comment, just thought that particular one was pretty funny
What a sleezy guy that scammer is
Anyone else notice Colin kept looking up to the left when describing his stuff?
Loved this, new subscriber here
All these situations have the same root cause, the guy bought a multi-million dollar home, several exotic sports cars, a boat, expensive vacations, and was blowing money like a playboy thinking the money would never stop, and spoiler alert, the money always stops. He was using creators as a credit card to fund his lifestyle and now can't pay it back.
Are you talking about all levels? Like poor money management from the podcast hosts through management and their deals? or are you referring to someone specific fucking up?
Either way greed is probably the biggest problem with modern society, if I had to guess...
Im pretty sure this was always the contingency plan. "Okay what I am going to do is Hope that Kast becomes big, but if it doesnt, Ill pocket the cash, hide my assets, declare bankruptcy and let someone else 'Save' my clients."
@@Cosmic_Corpse22100% he did exactly that. He’s in all this shit because of GREED
@@skachor It's pretty obvious they are referring to Thompson.
Just think, if he'd spűnked only enough money to never have to work again with a middle class lifestyle, he'd probably have gotten away without a peep.
He knew they couldn’t pay, but threatened to sue his colleagues if they shared that information with potential clients. That alone is dishonest.
He was hoping that ad rates would go back up. He was literally gambling with other people's paychecks.
@@SteveWiIIDolt Nah, he pocketed the money. If they come after him, he'll claim bankruptcy. Dude is def a
My new song is called *JADED*
coffee, brother, that fan is not moving a single air molecule
Fun fun fun. Great video!
( Imagine all the RUclips channels buying lessons thinking they will amount to something.......Fewer than 10% off all channels are monetized)
Imagine being asked about the company missing 4 million dollars in payments to their clients and you reply with a sales pitch on the vision of said company.
Sign me up! Lol
Man anyone who knows or knew a manipulator, narcissist, scammer, or conman can identify the way this dude Collin speaks. It gives me chills, the "I appreciate this, I appreciate that, I appreciate the work you do" like of crap, the setting the narrative in a forced calm type of speak, all that. It's wild these guys are so far deep into the con that they convince themselves they have everyone else convinced. Keep up the good work Coffee
They never answer the question and always play the victim.
These are the people that always end up being politicians.
He executed his speech very well and is a good demonstration of how one speaks as a CEO. This is an organized, concise way to speak and he maintains a calm environment -- it's a skill, not malicious.
@@ItsMudfish This is not CEO speak, this is "I'm obviously lying" speak.
@@ItsMudfishok collin, sure it is
@@reclhoss sounds like someone who cries out in pain as he strikes wearing small hats
Gotta love how every single scammer always claims how he loves Coffeezilla and his work. And better yet they always think that they can make up a story that will be convincing enough. :D
