Unless we're serving on a jury.

Been there and have done that, not a pleasant exercise, but a necessary service.

 

[IthacaMatt]

Btw, that’s his mentorship group. It’s legit. You dug up a 4 year old article as evidence to hate someone and call him a conman when it’s legitimate.

4 events a year, and I don't think they made it past year 2.

Jeff Knauss is pushing a new elite membership only networking group, I think with the other guy, the motivational speaker.

I saw Jeff speak at a church in Valley during COVID. It was an entrepreneurship event sponsored by SU and the church, to foster new businesses among inner city folks.

I work with these people all the time. We are talking about people opening cleaning businesses, transport businesses to take elderly people to and from medical appointments. People starting food truck businesses, small restaurants, car detailing, construction businesses. This was the audience.

And he was talking to them about investing in crypto.

I thought to myself, this dude has never been poor. He has no idea at all who these people are, and what they need to do to improve their lives. Trust me, it wasn't crypto.

A lot of phony people out there nowadays, because of the fun-house distortion of social media. Life is so fake, and people are so full of it.

Right but people are willingly paying

People willingly pay for scams all the time.

No, snake oil salesmen sold products that didn’t do anything.

His product didn't do anything either. What did people get out of their $16,200 investment?

You need to quit being judgemental, you are better then that.
When someone has paid their debt to society, that is enough.
That's the country I spent 4 years in the military for.
You might not like someone but none of us have the right to judge others.

I wouldn't be talking about him if people on this board didn't keep venerating him because he's rich. What does your military service have to do with it?

Adam never took any money from that group. It was always about the members. He also says that Jeff doesn't do crypto.

His product had 4 major events per year with many others throughout the year. People willingly joined and stayed. He didn't earn a penny from the endeavor. A grifter wouldn't enter a penniless endeavor, would he?

 

[chuck]

No idea, I just know that Adam has been mentoring Kyle. You have an unhealthy hatred for Adam Weitsman. People only like people that think like them if they don't the hell with them. It's ridiculous.

I don't care whether Adam made money. He certainly used it for a ton of publicity.

I was at the event I'm talking about. I was a panelist, and I heard Jeff with my own ears.

Whether he has wised up in the last 4 years is also none of my business.

And they don't know the restaurant business.

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

If they are out on Deng maybe they go back to the well one more time for a SF option.

Hate his haircut, but his game ain't bad

 

[Zelda Zonk]

By charging people $16,200 to meet celebrities. You don't consider that a grift?

A grift is something that is unlawful, not just unseemly.

 

[SimonSays]

we are looking at a stretch forward from cincy. hoping we got our eyes on higher prospects as it seems we should have a decent amount of $ left. who knows.

 

[RedtheGOB]

Adam has been mentoring Kyle.

In what the scrap metal business? Come on.

In what the scrap metal business? Come on.

Probably business.

I have no information at all but this is way more simple than people want to admit.

We have a group of super rich old white dudes that have dug themselves in multiple years now with comments both in private and social media.

Neither AW, JAB, the BoT or Lally can stomach saying they were misguided in the past on what they did and said or how things went down.

Not withstanding the social media posts that will inevitably come when and if the relationship is repaired. These guys would rather die than have people out there saying "Told you So" or "You were wrong all along"

Personally I could care less, but if Melo says it's cool, them I'm cool what what he thinks is best.

A) I think you mean *couldn't* care less and
B) This seems to sum it up pretty well

Is Adam in the portal?

You’re turning into an infomercial to sell us all on AW and that was many posts ago.

 

[qdawgg]

Is Adam in the portal?

For the right price, of course.

I rarely chime in on these Adam threads anymore because they are just repeats of each other, but it feels that way to me too. Regardless of how you feel about Adam's situation with SU, I'm pretty sure he's not the modern day version of Mother Teresa and it doesn't smell like potpourri when he leaves the bathroom.

What is going on with our supposedly big league NIL? The numbers don’t add up. I just posted about this in the Deng thread.

Keeping Freeman and getting George is big league.

 

[IthacaMatt]

Stop. Just stop with that lazy narrative.

Seems true.

Yikes, nobody has said he’s a saint. But, when things are said that are untrue, I am compelled to call it out.

 

[dasher]

The Chancellor might not have anything more to say in the matter. And I doubt the people on the BOT who don't like Adam, are going to cross Melo and Fran if they want the support.

I believe you would be wrong

I disagree. We have the right to judge others. And in fact, almost all of us do every day of our lives. I could site a ton of examples of people that I would bet you would say are scum. There is a big difference between that and doing something about it. Or denying them their rights.
