Behind the scenes there are Netflix and Amazon still fighting over the rights...could be Last Dance, Better Cal Saul or Ozark big!

I read somewhere that Rottman got out of the watch business and went into real estate.
Which should terrify any first-time home buyer.

I think that's a different, much older and more accomplished, Luke Rottman. Based on his IG account, he's still at it.

Ahh. Makes sense. I wasn't sure at first, but I couldn’t find his old IG page… then I remembered he blocked me after calling him out for some insane BS rant against members.

Watch out for this guy. At his own admission, he “gets la*d, more than you get paid”.

Some videos keep coming up in my IG feed from two adolescent boys that are apparently running a luxury watch business in Arizona. Their videos are unintentionally hilarious, but it's terrifying to think that some people are naive enough to do business with children. Kind of reminds me of Rottman and the Oliver & Clarke guy also. After all of the scams, lies, and Ponzi schemes, people never learn.

Thanks for bumping this. Being a part of this thread was some of the most fun I’ve had on TRF. Watching LR go on tilt in his IG comments section was epic.
