Bad Survive! Deserves A Permanent Post In The Hall Of Shame

What I don’t understand is why were they never charged with multiple thefts or fraud, and put in jail.
And considering the amount of people that they ripped off, I’m surprised that there was no class action lawsuit against them.

Mostly because SO much fraud goes on daily from car insurance/home insurance/medical etc that state attorneys (or even local) have to be extremely selective about what they prosecute. I think its something like 2% of auto fraud ends up even getting prosecuted at the state level...and thats even when the insurance companies are doing most of the work for the prosecution.

just curious if anyone knows what happened to Guy and Ellie. I see Jon / HST is still active on YT, but cannot tell if he has actually started selling his S!K knockoffs.

I think John has started selling some knives not sure to what extent.

Trying to following the linking rules…look up “heavy set knife company dot com”. I couldn’t believe how much he started selling his first lot for.

According to some makers who have chimed in on S!K, one of Guy’s downfalls was charging too little for his product, sending him into the death spiral that he perpetually denied until the very end. I know there’s a lot of theories that he was just criminal from the get go, but I can’t help believe that incompetence got him on his thieving road to ruin.

Objectively, HST might be doing the best thing by offering product at a higher price, which may better support him when he has setbacks.

Unrelated note…
I wonder how that beach guy is doing after eating his hat (regarding S!K) and getting tossed from BF?

I always come here with some popcorn in hand ready for a show when I see new post to this thread.

Yeah Guy was either in denial and incompetent of purposefully misleading we won't likely know fully the truth of it but I am always curious as to what all is happening with this story it never really feels over with others picking up to an extent what SK was trying to do or supposed to be doing.

I am curious about that other one that came in here talking about getting the equipment and iirc the dog.

Trust no one. (At least insofar as this pathetic saga is concerned.)

He’s active here and has his own section: PLONK

He certainly seems to be a good guy on the up and up trying to make an honest go of it.
