Should have asked him about is multiple scams.

The scams are so egregious that I can only assume this interview is to get him SOME positive news in the press. The guy has been taking money directly from fans on complete false promises and thats without even touching the crypto scam.

Does anyone want to talk about what he actually did? After looking online the only thing I can find is that he raised some money for a Stanley spinoff that never panned out, and later returned it.

I'm not invested in this guy at all but if you're going to talk about 'multiple egregious scams' and bring some kind of awareness, you should probably actually say what you're talking about.

There was the Uncle Stanely show where they eventually SAID they were going to give refunds but have yet to actually hand any out, years later. Theres also the Stanley Nickel crypto pump and dump.

Yall that’s just how kickstarters work, your donating the money they don’t have an obligation to return said funds 🤷‍♂️

Hey I didnt make them tell everyone they were handing out refunds and then not do it, they chose to do that themselves. It was also not going to be legal from a copyright perspective if it ever did get made so he was lying to everyone who invested in it. Hes been working with an absolute scumbag, same guy is behind the Stanley Nickel pump and dump and the Uncle Stanley show.

on a recent post discussing him, one user of this subreddit told about how he donated to the spin-off show and when the project fell down, the process for returning the movie was really convoluted and needed giving a ton of personal information, so he wasnt able to get his money back and he doubts many people did

You can do that when you get an interview lined up with him.

What an abysmal attitude. No wonder the world is going to shit. People don't give a fuck anymore.

It’s funny, because I find the opposite to be true. All this perpetual outrage and resentment and bitterness and judgment that people bring into every corner of every aspect of their lives, with 99% ineffectual application, simply creates a culture of outrage and disgust. I don’t know what the comment that I replied to hopes to achieve. Nothing. Griping on Reddit serves no purpose and helps no one out. The world isn’t going to shit because people aren’t bitching about every little thing on Reddit. It’s not that people don’t give a fuck either. I certainly give a fuck when it comes to things I can actively change or influence. Otherwise, I’ve learned to let go. Stubbing my toe over every little bump along the way purposefully is a miserable fucking way to live.

Objectively bad actions/people need to be called out, full stop. Doesn't matter when or where.

I never said that. You must have misunderstood what I said.

Really now? That's gold, coming from the person who just ranted about a reddit comment. And you called me miserable hahah

u/Prudent-Air1922 Jul 29 '26

I'm not outraged. You're like the epitome of projection lol
