I got into an argument with that clown on YouTube a couple years back when he was doing wake up now. He was shook when I told him his exact address, he lived in LIC idk what he's on now as I haven't looked at a video from him in years

I work as real estate agent and knew exactly where he lived based on his videos. I really want to two piece this scamming little shyt.


I remember him from way before Wakeupnow like the corny DR parade stuff...
getting jamaican beef patties in steve harvey suits etc......

after doing some research it amazes me people are so stupid. With a recession coming up these types of scams are so easy to do.

Uber and left have been at it for years and both companies aren't profitable yet but tryp predicts it will in one year

:mjlol:

They say riders keep 100% of their fares and tips so the only way the company makes money is by getting people to sign up for the $200 monthly.

Currently uber has 750k (give or take) drivers, let's say a miracle happened and by the year tryp has 750K riders.

750k x 2400 (200x12 monthly fee)= 1800000000 or 1.8 billion ( and thats gross revenue, add to that costs etc and :mjlol:) + this on for a whole year.

Uber made 2.6 billion in Q2 2018 and till this day isn't profitable. Thats uber WORLD WIDE and only Q2 (6 months)

All this took me 15 min to piece together, I can't believe people are this stupid :francis:

People are that stupid... go look at WeWorks IPO :mjlol:

They prey on the young ,desperate and stupid. A lot of these people who fall for these MLM, forex, binary options, drop shipping etc are either college dropouts with few job options, broke and massively indebted college graduates with bullshyt degrees, middle class Americans working minimum wage jobs babrely scraping by with no prospects. So when they hear shyt like a get rich quick scheme they buy in it because it plays into their emotions. They then stick by it religiously because they don’t want to believe it’s a scam because this is their livelihood at stake. So they stick with the company to the bitter end until the company belly ups and they realize they wasted time and money on those scams.

Lmfao whats the drop shipping scam?

drop shipping is legit but there are people who have been scamming noobs who don't know the model. There was this asian guy rai ketsu (something like that) Who posted he did a million $ in a years time.

He created a course 1K+ and eventually was exposed for doing element inspect to change the numbers of his drop shipping store. Thats happens a lot but the business model of drop shipping is legit.

But people see how these "entrepreneurs" are working from home/vacation, the money and cars and they are like "take my money"

Gotcha. I seem some dudes from school trying to sell some class that seems to roll all of the current scams into one package.

Bumboclot... I see di bum still scamming people to this very day. :mjlol:

I remember mi idiot friends on Face Book were on the "WAKEUPNOW" bullshyt pyramid scam a couple of years ago. They were promoting it and ended up showing fake pictures on trips they went on.

Fast forward to this year and they are working regular jobs with multiple kids. Asked one of them what happen to "wakeupnow" and they made up excuses as to why it didn't work out for dem. :mjlol:

WeWork is a damn joke and I wonder who the fukk behind the scenes is putting up the bread to make the real estate side of things happen. They have a ton of them here in NY and in some pricey commercial areas. There is just no fukking way any of it is feasible in the mid/long term. When the bottom falls out some lucky b*stards with in the right place/time with $$$ is going to feast on their properties.

I went to an event at one down near the Meatpacking District and some of the “companies” operating out of that bytch seemed like they still needed to be in the “apartment” stage before biting at an office setup.
