Bro, you're a natural interviewer. You don't go on and on about bs, ask the questions you know the viewers want to ask, and let the person talk. Great job.
I’m sorry but I hate these kind of guys. I was in construction for 34 years. I’ve seen it all. From owners of companies to superintendents. To workers stealing hours. CATCH A CONTRACTOR !!!
Dude is leaving out that he scammed 10 elderly victims for almost 800k and in his words '' A lot of money went in my pocket''. Really he was 'shocked'' when he got sentenced . Poor dude was drinking Starbucks and went to jail the same day , what a outrage!!
Read up on this guys case. He wasn’t some innocent person not knowing he was doing wrong. He was charged with fraud for taking money and not doing the work. 10 families were screwed out over $600,000. He’s not being honest at all.
He tells Ian he just kept working, in reality it was the exact opposite. He gave this convoluted response, that gave no answer to what he did. He would literally get paid to start a job, then he wouldn't finish it. Then move on to the next family and do the same. That's all he had to say. Giving all this info about adjusters and inspectors is a load of shit trying to confuse listeners. Guess he doesn't realize people can just look up what he really did? 🤦♂️
Ya all you gotta do is read the judges description on how his father acted in court and the statements made to the judge and you’ll see where the son gets it from. The judge stated he did not think the elder Thayer was not remorseful at all and would stare at the the victims in court and stated the company he started in the early 90s was more his sons than his, and that it was in his wife’s name, even though he would collect checks from victims and take them on tours of previous work they did to convince them to work with them. He can’t take any accountability for his actions, you know what they say, like father like son.
22 minutes in - he’s just finishing the contractor jobs because he has so much pride and cares so much about his clients - gets arrested yet seems to be the only person in history who isn’t told why there arrested - over the months and months doesn’t seem to have the most basic understanding of our legal system Crime- arrest-court In that order Sleeps 15 minutes a day for 4 months which is literally impossible - prison guards didn’t explain the rules to him - he became a business mentor - he won’t compromise his principles for anything I haven’t heard him say he’s done 1 thing wrong ……
Actually, I was arrested 10 years ago for breaking and entering, burglary and petty theft. I was not told what I was being arrested for, no one told me at the station why I was arrested. It wasn't until I saw the judge that I found out my charges. It was bs, I fought the case and won
This guy is totally full of sh!t. He was spending the money and not doing the job and going onto the next person since the insurance company wouldn’t release more funds because the work wasn’t done and he blew the money and couldn’t finish the job. He knows exactly what he did but trying to look like a good guy when he’s a pile of human excrement…
Okay, it didn't make sense why he was getting treated so harshly until looking up his story on different sites. Hard to have much sympathy for anyone taking advantage of the elderly and their bank accts.
Actually literally robbing people would be going out and armed robbing them or just taking their money from wherever they are. Robbing people by means of insurance fraud is a separate category of robbing people. It’s non-violent, which is why the potential prison sentences aren’t as long (but usually cost the accused much more financially with things like restitution payment, insurance back-pay garnishment, IRS penalty fee’s, etc.)
There are SOOOO many holes in this guy’s story. He glosses over ALL of the details about where the money actually went. He quickly found out that playing ignorant doesn’t work as a defense in the court of law. Yet, now he’s playing ignorant in the interview.
It’s not possible to sleep 15 minutes a day for 4 months. Your body would crash after a week or so. You couldn’t even do that on speed without your body crashing.
3 days up on speed and your body starts shutting down from exhaustion. I’ve been there and you can try to go for another round it’s just not the same after your body functions on that high of a level for days
This guy doesnt know if his dad who was in court with him had a lawyer- seems he doesnt care much about anyone except himself, 2nd the phone recordings at the county jail caught him saying he hopes to put most the blame on his dad. If that was me i would be doing everything to keep him out and take the sentence myself. Unbelievable, hes a complete liar
Yeahhhh I was having a hard time with it but when he said Graterford was a supermax, I knew he was 100% full of shit. It closed down a few years ago because they built SCI Phoenix, but up till it closed down my friends literally volunteered at Graterford twice a week and they would NEVER be able to take programs into a supermax 🙄
I think this guy needed 50 more months and maybe he wouldn't be so high and mighty and be able to accept full responsibility instead of pretending he's better than other inmates.
I’ve watched a ton of your videos. for some reason this guy just stands out to me. Don’t really like the way he tells the story feels like more he’s not telling.. Keep up the great work IAN
Looked up the court case after 10 minutes of him evading he did anything wrong. He wasn’t “working too fast to get paid and therefor needing money to finish other customers homes.” He was leaving customers homes unfinished, not started, or partially done and the quality of work was abysmal. So either he’s was a scammer or he was just horrible at what he did and he can’t seem to admit either which is super weird.
Exactly. Having seen the accounting side of construction, I knew immediately what happened. Either he bid his projects too low and didn't leave enough room or he was spending too much outside of his business. There's no way he didn't know what he was doing was right. Either way, he screwed people over.
Yeah, exactly. He never answered the question about eventually getting the money from the insurance company. Just some nonsense about doing the work too fast.
He said he felt horrible. He said he cared. Just cause he still doesn’t have an outward emotional reaction, YEARS later doesn’t me he doesn’t care. He obviously doesn’t have ANY outward emotional reactions regarding anything he talked about even when he was talking about crying on the phone with his wife or how he instantly thought about all his kid’s milestones he’d be missing.
@@ClipsCrazy__ take the cape off….imagine getting your father put away for 60months…and elderly man…who had zero criminal intentions…this guy is a horrible human being lol
I feel like what started his whole career into basically fraud, was that he blew the money off some how. Because if it happened like he explained, then at a certain point he would have eventually been able to level out. If you are taking money from one gig and stacking it on the next gig, and so on and so forth, I just don’t see a scenario where you don’t track your paper trail and eventually get yourself out of the hole somehow, whether it’s a loan or whatever. It’s when you jerk off money and lose track of your stealing that you get to where this guy was. That’s just my honest opinion.
Ian, I found your channel a few weeks ago and found a couple other personalities through your channel. I really enjoy your style man. Quality work also. Thanks for sharing your experience and bringing others to light. Appreciate you man.
I got to around the 30 minute mark b4 i checked the comments but I did skip the first 15 minutes or so when they were talking about his history. So technically it woulda been like 15 min for me. I was about to write a comment about how I hope he sued the ish outta the state and everyone else and then I started reading and I saw your comment. You literally took the words right out of my head.
My friend went to Supermax when he wasn't supposed to. It happens quite a lot. If you think government workers are on top of things, then that's fantasy. I'm not vouching for the guy, but I know 2 guys who were supposed to go to a medium and a low, both went to supermax, the state in one case and the Feds in the other knew, and took their sweet time correcting it
I don't understand how someone can be so desperate for a contractor that they hire someone who is under indictment and about to go to jail for construction fraud.
Because you're looking at it the wrong way. They are not desperate. They just know they can get good work done for cheap because he needs the money. What's he going to say? that's too cheap? He's the desperate one trying to provide for his family.
Not really. This dude was only in a low level camp for like 16 or 18 months in the feds. That's nothing. I'm not saying He's trash but compared to Jay William teen got nothing. His stories are in depth entertaining. Funny! And all together interesting you should check out Matt Cox inside. True crime also
RIGHT??? It takes a lot to actively keep me from listening to music but this one definitely does it listen to these every time in the car and most of the time when I'm not lol
This guys version of events makes literally no sense and when you read what actually happened... it makes sense why he just mumbled some bullshit to appear like he isn't the bad guy.
With all due respect, I just do not understand how he was…. So laid back at these criminal charges. No attorney???? Wowwwwzaaaa. I’m thankful that I learned the importance of an attorney far before I’ll ever need one lol
I do, people think the justice system is fair. They think nothing bad will happen to them and that they aren't going to jail. Never n trouble, nothing violent and being told he won't do time. He just believed it won't happen to him, naive. He said he was very naive. Sounds crazy to us but to them, they think the world is fair and it won't happen to them.
1. No way he didn’t know he was not committing fraud and 2. If he ended up at a super max or high level prison he racked up probably a couple million or more easy.
In a pa state prison it doesn’t matter the amount of money you made for the charge u were convicted for whether u stole a pack of gum an you have a bad record or u scam someone out of 10 million dollars you could 100% land at the same max prison they send you anywhere in pa lifers are at all 25 jails and u could have a 1-2 year sentence which is pretty much the smallest sentence unless u get a 6months to 24 months you could still get sent to a max state prison in pa it doesn’t matter they send you anywhere they have space anyone who’s been upstate pa can vouch an say this is 100% FACTS!!
Saw your interview on Chad Marks' channel and all I could think about was how badly our education system fails us. You had nothing teaching you how to handle business finances and it set you up for failure. Great to see how well you've done with everything man.
Yep I get the same feeling. I’ve been doing construction my whole life and I’ve been in trouble many times I’ve never heard anything like this it doesn’t add up none of it as explained here .
Congrats on your success Ian! Your hard work is admirable. This podcast has been very interesting & I was hooked after watching one Tik Tok. Not gonna lie though, this one was hard to watch/listen to. He seemed very uninterested in being in this interview. At the beginning there was nothing to hook onto. Quick cut & dry answers, without getting much background. Later he finally gets to talking and giving some detail and it was easier to follow but, the first 3-5 minutes of a video can define the outcome. If it’s not interesting, a lot of people will dip out early. Mad props to him for putting his story out there, I’m sure it’s not an easy thing to do. No hate or trying to bash him. It’s just the lack of effort made this a hard episode to want to watch. If you don’t wanna interview, totally fine, just don’t do it. If you’re gonna do it though, please put in some effort. Remember people are putting in work, & spending money for you to tell your story. Provide them the same effort. Do your research, watch previous interviews to get an understanding of how it’s going to go. If you’re uncomfortable talking about how you grew up, knowing that’s how ALL these interviews start, just simply don’t do it.
Small construction companies are inherently running very deficits. Insurance companies are the worst institutions. They should NEVER be publicly traded companies because they are running to please shareholders rather than doing what they are supposed to do, pay out claims to people that have legitimate claims. They NEVER pay on time. Insurance companies are CRIMINALS! They collect TONS of money and rarely pay what is needed or on time!
@@stillwelltjz6798 and where do you get the information to dispute the story. Regardless, my comments still stands because I have experiences with small construction companies and some of the biggest unscrupulous businesses out there, Insurance companies.
I worked for SunLife for years. It was policy to drag their feet paying out std payments knowing that some ppl couldn't afford to be without a paycheck and would have to go back to work.
@@mattyrolph8429 thanks for being honest. I have been dealing with workers comp for 18 years. Regardless that I was ruled 100% totally and permanently disabled, they still have managed to quit paying for my meds several times. I need them to stay alive. I have had to do a go fund me to pay for my meds. They are the real criminals!
I was listening in the car and it was starting to sound too much like everyone else’s fault so I looked up the news articles. Great interview on your end, I wish he had answered the questions about motive but the honesty just wasn’t there to begin with.
Over 675k stolen from 9 different people. There’s more to the story there. Now as for the justice system and the prison system. He’s right, it’s unbelievably f’ed up. He did his time and I hope he stays on right track.
His first lawyer failed him, this was definitely civil, if the story he told Is the real story. So sad how bad the system fucked him either way? Why was he in super max? Should have been in minimum
This poor guy he robbed $775000 from homeowners hiring him to do construction on there house then never finished the job and bailed with the cash and he whines about the prison real POS
My man is from my home town of Levittown, Pa! His story sounds about right for a levittown kid... i didnt do anything wrong, everybody else screwed me over. Savage way to treat his own dad too. Wonder if he still in the L town community lol. Might stop by one of his game with big ole #FreeMyMans sign 😂
He is sugarcoating everything. The man was 23. He owned at least 5 clients. So he was selling jobs and spending the money. At age 23, it happened quickly. It's not like he got backed up and it ran away from him that took years. No, no. This man was blowing the payments on himself for sure.
I’ve never heard a story quite like this. Unique to say the least. But compelling nonetheless. I wish he would’ve shared some of the things he witnessed inside. But I totally understand why he doesn’t want to go there.
First lawyer: "32k And I'll probably get you a much lighter sentence than you would representing yourself." Him: "I'll take my chances!" Also him: "Now that I fuck my life up, I'll spend an exorbitant amount of money on the best lawyer in the county for my reconsideration! All according to plan.."
So he wants us to believe he can only take jobs where insurance companies had insurance companies and adjusters paying him History makes no sense at all. If they pay him to do 50% of the work and any finishes it a week or two later he'd have another check. Go back and continue. What's the problem?
Look up this guys case he is full of shit about it being unintentional, etc. Him and his pops were ripping people off left and right, and his dad was way involved
Recently new follower just came across your channel month or two ago and seemed to really grow on me and my roommate, so keep up the good work! So as far as nicknames go, my very first time going to jail I was looking at 12 counts Res. Burglary, x2 Strikes and an unfathomable amount of time @ 19yrs old, 6'1", 165lbs soaking wet, and couldnt be MORE NAIVE from being raised on the COLD, HARD streets of Calabasas, which meant that my case was assigned to the Malibu Beach courthouse, which it turns out NO ONE ELSE in the entire LA County Jail system was assigned there which earned me the nickname Malibu's Most Wanted! After 2yrs of court and being told by Judge L. Mira, "you're the only person person I've given more chances to than Robert Downey Jr, Don't make me regret it!" I plead to 2 counts 2nd Degree Burglary & 1 count Commercial Burglary, Rehab & 5yrs Joint Suspension w/my records sealed to ALL BUT the Government! But ya the commissary is a straight scam especially in California since one of the three catalogs you can order from is owned by the prison guard Union! where else do Maruchan Ramen Noodles for $1.35-$1.55 each when you can get 10 for $1 on the streets!??!?!?!!?! And can you believe they BANNED DC Shoe Co shoes after finding out about the "Dos Cinco" gang!?!? What makes that so horrible is they just happened to be punk-ass SNY indeed!!
It’s really unfortunate How closed off he is. I really feel like he needs therapy. I get it. He is not wanting to change the system, but there are a lot of people out there that do want to change the system, and without help or stories from inmates, the system will never change.
I'm a contractor in PA and deal with insurance co.s it's rough but he's twisting the facts. He was straight scanning. It's simple to work around the insurance process!
Moral of the story....good attorneys are expensive for a reason, because they're worth it. This guy would've got probation and restitution with just an average attorney.
Not 30k not for fraud yea maybe for a high profile case. Not a damn mobster the lawyer was greasing I live in the same county as him nobody's paying that inless its a murder rap
I encourage the folks watching these podcasts Google the interviewees. When you read about their cases you quickly realize how people minimize the damage they caused.
You didn't understand because every word out of his mouth was a lie. When there was a house fire in his community, he would run to the scene, and if the victims were elderly or in any way vulnerable, he would get them to hire him to demolish and rebuild, hiring him that night while they were still in shock and devastated. Then he would take a huge down payment for a complete rebuild, pretend to start, then disappear. Victims found out he stole the money and never even applied for the needed permits to build their home. He stole almost $800k and got his father also sentenced because it was his father's company. He also was dumb enough to be on recorded lines from jail, bragging to his family how much he stole and how he would just get a short time in a low-level camp for it, which is not what he got. He's an unethical slime bag who can't tell the truth for anything.
Bro, you're a natural interviewer. You don't go on and on about bs, ask the questions you know the viewers want to ask, and let the person talk. Great job.
Thanks so much man

I was a contractor for 30+ years. If the price is low enough. People will hire satan himself
@@TheOmegaRiddlerhe preyed on elderly people
@@armedjoy3045 yeah, and he got it right back. What is he going to say? No to work.
Imagine this guy trying to say other inmates are bad with money when he’s literally on there for fraud and being bad with money
Found your channel a few months ago and have really enjoyed it. You have some very interesting guests
This has quickly become my favorite podcast
Jay Williams is way better
@@mikesexo5386 they both have different perspectives man. Neither is better than the other imo
Not really. This dude was only in a low level camp for like 16 or 18 months in the feds. That's nothing. I'm not saying He's trash but compared to Jay William teen got nothing. His stories are in depth entertaining. Funny! And all together interesting you should check out Matt Cox inside. True crime also
@@mikesexo5386 Fair enough. This still my go to though
Thanks so much❤
You’re doing awesome Ian! Wishing you the success you deserve!
Thank you!!
Yes and No! Lol So basically this guy just didnt listen to his Dad! I feel like hes hiding something. How are his parents not advising him
druuuuuuugggggs
My Android Auto autoplays you when I turn my car on - and I got to admit, I haven't listened to music in a bit
RIGHT??? It takes a lot to actively keep me from listening to music but this one definitely does it listen to these every time in the car and most of the time when I'm not lol
@@tord0ff I love the consumer turned producer podcasts like this. Always have the viewer in mind
Put in a super max for looking super jacked!
This guys version of events makes literally no sense and when you read what actually happened... it makes sense why he just mumbled some bullshit to appear like he isn't the bad guy.
I was thinking the same thing. The article I read is a much different story.
Exactly something is off
You can tell he's too much of a "tough guy" to be real and humble. I bet the truth is much more interesting
He speaks so awkwardly at points the lies just shine through
This guy is full of 💩. Nice try Ryan. It’s just time to say I was a scumbag and I screwed up.
With all due respect, I just do not understand how he was…. So laid back at these criminal charges. No attorney???? Wowwwwzaaaa. I’m thankful that I learned the importance of an attorney far before I’ll ever need one lol
A lot of people think it’s not too serious when they let you go home
I feel like he's hiding something
I do, people think the justice system is fair. They think nothing bad will happen to them and that they aren't going to jail. Never n trouble, nothing violent and being told he won't do time. He just believed it won't happen to him, naive. He said he was very naive. Sounds crazy to us but to them, they think the world is fair and it won't happen to them.
@@savagesavant6817ur right. Their naive and think the justice system is fair
@@GriseldaBSF410 He is. Look him up. He was doing enough,poorly done, work to get a check and never went back and stopped taking calls.
I came over here because of JD Delay, and I've been watching some, and i have to say what you're doing is awesome, and I just subscribed 👍
1. No way he didn’t know he was not committing fraud and 2. If he ended up at a super max or high level prison he racked up probably a couple million or more easy.
In a pa state prison it doesn’t matter the amount of money you made for the charge u were convicted for whether u stole a pack of gum an you have a bad record or u scam someone out of 10 million dollars you could 100% land at the same max prison they send you anywhere in pa lifers are at all 25 jails and u could have a 1-2 year sentence which is pretty much the smallest sentence unless u get a 6months to 24 months you could still get sent to a max state prison in pa it doesn’t matter they send you anywhere they have space anyone who’s been upstate pa can vouch an say this is 100% FACTS!!
Saw your interview on Chad Marks' channel and all I could think about was how badly our education system fails us. You had nothing teaching you how to handle business finances and it set you up for failure. Great to see how well you've done with everything man.
Thanks for the support man, much appreciated 🙏
Come across this channel and this is a great interview. Its long AF but amazingly i watch the entire interview.
The hardest men get up every morning and grind for an honest pay . That's hard
This dude is sketch about something. I can't put a finger on it but just something about the way he answers the questions.
Yea there's something off about him
He puts on the retard act. He's not as stupid as you think or as he's trying to portray
Yep I get the same feeling. I’ve been doing construction my whole life and I’ve been in trouble many times I’ve never heard anything like this it doesn’t add up none of it as explained here .
Look up the case. Search his name and fraud. Dudes just a liar.
good job fake D.A.
Excellent interview!
Found this channel randomly a few months ago and man your longer interviews are definitely where it’s at!!
Thank you!!
Thanks so much man
Great job Ian, Ryan had some really good information about the system and how they are in it for profit. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Steven!
Firstly, salute to both of you gentlemen. Great job.
... I'm from this guys area. His account of the system in Southeast PA is totally accurate.
Peace
Congrats on your success Ian! Your hard work is admirable.
This podcast has been very interesting & I was hooked after watching one Tik Tok.
Not gonna lie though, this one was hard to watch/listen to. He seemed very uninterested in being in this interview. At the beginning there was nothing to hook onto. Quick cut & dry answers, without getting much background. Later he finally gets to talking and giving some detail and it was easier to follow but, the first 3-5 minutes of a video can define the outcome. If it’s not interesting, a lot of people will dip out early.
Mad props to him for putting his story out there, I’m sure it’s not an easy thing to do. No hate or trying to bash him. It’s just the lack of effort made this a hard episode to want to watch. If you don’t wanna interview, totally fine, just don’t do it. If you’re gonna do it though, please put in some effort. Remember people are putting in work, & spending money for you to tell your story. Provide them the same effort. Do your research, watch previous interviews to get an understanding of how it’s going to go. If you’re uncomfortable talking about how you grew up, knowing that’s how ALL these interviews start, just simply don’t do it.
Thank you!! I appreciate you
Small construction companies are inherently running very deficits. Insurance companies are the worst institutions. They should NEVER be publicly traded companies because they are running to please shareholders rather than doing what they are supposed to do, pay out claims to people that have legitimate claims. They NEVER pay on time. Insurance companies are CRIMINALS! They collect TONS of money and rarely pay what is needed or on time!
This guy isn't telling the whole story.
@@stillwelltjz6798 and where do you get the information to dispute the story. Regardless, my comments still stands because I have experiences with small construction companies and some of the biggest unscrupulous businesses out there, Insurance companies.
I worked for SunLife for years. It was policy to drag their feet paying out std payments knowing that some ppl couldn't afford to be without a paycheck and would have to go back to work.
@@mattyrolph8429 thanks for being honest. I have been dealing with workers comp for 18 years. Regardless that I was ruled 100% totally and permanently disabled, they still have managed to quit paying for my meds several times. I need them to stay alive. I have had to do a go fund me to pay for my meds. They are the real criminals!
@@deniseockey6204 there is this really cool website called "google"
I was listening in the car and it was starting to sound too much like everyone else’s fault so I looked up the news articles. Great interview on your end, I wish he had answered the questions about motive but the honesty just wasn’t there to begin with.
bingo!!! full of a bit of shit. Quick talking too... you'd think he'd done absolutely nothing wrong... and got 6 years??? riiiiiiiight.
I don’t think this guy is being honest about what he did. He wasn’t very clear as to what he was in so much trouble for.
Another great interview!
Thanks Lizzy!!
Over 675k stolen from 9 different people. There’s more to the story there. Now as for the justice system and the prison system. He’s right, it’s unbelievably f’ed up. He did his time and I hope he stays on right track.
This dudes story makes it seem like he was unjustly prosecuted. There has to be more than this
Nah. He ran a construction Ponzi scheme on elderly people. According to news articles...it was definitely deserved
This guy replaced my flooring but kept taking shits under the subfloor and just covered them up. My house still smellz
@@justinc4924bruhhh😂😂
I do not think any this was in-intenional like hes trying say…i just read news articles he knew exactly what he was doing!
His first lawyer failed him, this was definitely civil, if the story he told
Is the real story. So sad how bad the system fucked him either way? Why was he in super max? Should have been in minimum
its not the real story lol
Google his name and Levittown ...... you'll see the real story.
@@alysonmartin5912 He served his time peoples. Move the hell on Mrs. And Mr. America.
@@Leroy-wm4ibSo a criminal coming to a criminal's defense
Another Banger Video Man 💪
Thank you sir
There's people doing this every day in my state and nothing is being done about it. I think other states are stricter
How do you go from saying the last 20 months you got to leave and work. Then say the last 30 months you were in a cell by yourself?
Great segment, I really enjoyed it. 👍
Any remorse other then getting caught!? Unfortunately even us coming from good families end up taking the wrong path
I remember seeing this all over. I lived in Levittown and now in philadelphia. Awesome episode
Rape of minor under 13?!? Why did no one talk about that??
SUPERMAX for a white collar crime????? (New Hope is bougie and gay as hell. I'm as gay as an Easter Bonnet and I feel out of place there.)
Brother who is also in construction I believe he said not talking to him says a lot.
I’ve watched several of these videos and I haven’t seen one yet where they truly take responsibility for their actions
He served his sentence that's called taking responsibility
This poor guy he robbed $775000 from homeowners hiring him to do construction on there house then never finished the job and bailed with the cash and he whines about the prison real POS
My man is from my home town of Levittown, Pa! His story sounds about right for a levittown kid... i didnt do anything wrong, everybody else screwed me over. Savage way to treat his own dad too. Wonder if he still in the L town community lol. Might stop by one of his game with big ole #FreeMyMans sign 😂
A lot of guys including myself get caught in what this guy did. He just dug deeper rather than out.
The guy has played stupid all of his life, no concieveable way his lead up story is true.
How does 50 months equal 6 years. Different math in his state apparently.
He is sugarcoating everything. The man was 23. He owned at least 5 clients. So he was selling jobs and spending the money.
At age 23, it happened quickly. It's not like he got backed up and it ran away from him that took years. No, no. This man was blowing the payments on himself for sure.
He was actually 29 in 2015 when he got sentenced. Idk why he would like about that lol
I’ve never heard a story quite like this. Unique to say the least. But compelling nonetheless. I wish he would’ve shared some of the things he witnessed inside. But I totally understand why he doesn’t want to go there.
First lawyer: "32k And I'll probably get you a much lighter sentence than you would representing yourself."
Him: "I'll take my chances!"
Also him: "Now that I fuck my life up, I'll spend an exorbitant amount of money on the best lawyer in the county for my reconsideration! All according to plan.."
Enjoyed the pod but at the end he says restatuition of 650k is quite a bit more than not finishing a few house builds etc
Awesome show honey! ❤
Thank you❤❤
So he wants us to believe he can only take jobs where insurance companies had insurance companies and adjusters paying him
History makes no sense at all. If they pay him to do 50% of the work and any finishes it a week or two later he'd have another check. Go back and continue. What's the problem?
Look up this guys case he is full of shit about it being unintentional, etc. Him and his pops were ripping people off left and right, and his dad was way involved
Great interview
Recently new follower just came across your channel month or two ago and seemed to really grow on me and my roommate, so keep up the good work! So as far as nicknames go, my very first time going to jail I was looking at 12 counts Res. Burglary, x2 Strikes and an unfathomable amount of time @ 19yrs old, 6'1", 165lbs soaking wet, and couldnt be MORE NAIVE from being raised on the COLD, HARD streets of Calabasas, which meant that my case was assigned to the Malibu Beach courthouse, which it turns out NO ONE ELSE in the entire LA County Jail system was assigned there which earned me the nickname Malibu's Most Wanted! After 2yrs of court and being told by Judge L. Mira, "you're the only person person I've given more chances to than Robert Downey Jr, Don't make me regret it!" I plead to 2 counts 2nd Degree Burglary & 1 count Commercial Burglary, Rehab & 5yrs Joint Suspension w/my records sealed to ALL BUT the Government!
But ya the commissary is a straight scam especially in California since one of the three catalogs you can order from is owned by the prison guard Union! where else do Maruchan Ramen Noodles for $1.35-$1.55 each when you can get 10 for $1 on the streets!??!?!?!!?! And can you believe they BANNED DC Shoe Co shoes after finding out about the "Dos Cinco" gang!?!? What makes that so horrible is they just happened to be punk-ass SNY indeed!!
It’s really unfortunate How closed off he is. I really feel like he needs therapy. I get it. He is not wanting to change the system, but there are a lot of people out there that do want to change the system, and without help or stories from inmates, the system will never change.
I'm a contractor in PA and deal with insurance co.s it's rough but he's twisting the facts. He was straight scanning. It's simple to work around the insurance process!
Moral of the story....good attorneys are expensive for a reason, because they're worth it.
This guy would've got probation and restitution with just an average attorney.
Not 30k not for fraud yea maybe for a high profile case. Not a damn mobster the lawyer was greasing I live in the same county as him nobody's paying that inless its a murder rap
Good question bro .
absolutely loved this guest
Buddy doesn’t know how to answer simple interview questions. “How would you describe yourself?” “Yes and no.”
I encourage the folks watching these podcasts Google the interviewees. When you read about their cases you quickly realize how people minimize the damage they caused.
Great interview.
Wait, so what did this dude do to get time? Cus I didn't understand any part of that
You didn't understand because every word out of his mouth was a lie. When there was a house fire in his community, he would run to the scene, and if the victims were elderly or in any way vulnerable, he would get them to hire him to demolish and rebuild, hiring him that night while they were still in shock and devastated. Then he would take a huge down payment for a complete rebuild, pretend to start, then disappear. Victims found out he stole the money and never even applied for the needed permits to build their home. He stole almost $800k and got his father also sentenced because it was his father's company. He also was dumb enough to be on recorded lines from jail, bragging to his family how much he stole and how he would just get a short time in a low-level camp for it, which is not what he got. He's an unethical slime bag who can't tell the truth for anything.
God Bless You and your family Brother ❤🙏🏻

How the hell did pops get so much jail time? Im confused man,,,,, welcome home dude

Damn small world im born in Bristol right next to Levittown
Awesome interview, great job .
one supermax prison
There is only one supermax prison remaining in the U.S. federal prison system, ADX Florence in Florence, Colorado.
Ian! Keep it up!
Thanks Jeff!
This story isn't adding up, so he's saying he got arrested for doing too much work? Then gets arrested and release r&r on felony charges?
