    Thank you, his first video tells a lot about him. The second video seems to be on the slide down, he really sounds like an idiot, talking about predatory rent-to-own crap, thats sleazy work to begin with.

    So I watched them, he has a paid-off truck, park it, put up a for sale sign, and become a company driver. Take the money from the truck, pay off your credit cards, and grow up.

    It seems to be slimy to ask for money with assets like a truck.

    He said he can't find a company job that pays enough for him to even pay his rent.

    He has zero business being in business, people bail him out now, he will be looking for another handout in a month or two when his truck breaks again.

    If you aren’t putting money away for maintenance BEFORE you pay yourself you’ve already failed, you just don’t know it yet. I take .20 off the top of every mile I run, and it goes into a maintenance fund.

    Look, I’ve made every mistake in the book over the years, but I have more self respect than to go on n social media begging for a handout.

    I thought the same thing at first but the more I learn, the more I'm convinced he's scamming. I've seen this grift in the past.

    A girl claimed she had cancer. Held a benefit. Come to find out it was all a lie and she disappeared.

    I just read the go fund me. Now he’s decided to scrap that truck, pay off the 14k owed on it, pay his bills, keep 5k, and put a down payment on another used truck.

    Edit: Go look at the names of the latest and largest donators. Why so many Asian names? This whole thing seems very odd.

    He must have something on his driving record if he can't get a company job. Walmart hires just about anyone nowadays .. and plus they aren't the only company to be hiring. Sounds like the guy ain't really trying that hard.. cant pay rent with a company ride? How's he paying rent with a broke down truck? Lol
     
    Siinman, Sons Hero, Iamoverit and 4 others Thank this.

    He's a good actor, two more videos and he might be able to buy a brand new truck with no
    monthly payments.

    Can't find a job to pay the rent where they're living at...are trailer park rents that high?
    WTF?
    He does not look like a guy living in Malibu or Santa Barbara or that his wife would be one of those you see on the covers of Vogue magazine. But you never know...

    The guy should should fix his DPF with the donated money, then donate the rest to a cancer research institute or a hungry children organization or something like that, to show some moral character.
    but I won't hold my breath.
