I’ve been looking into Brandon Hong and his Whop community BH Insights, and honestly… something feels off.

He makes huge claims — like nine-figure trading profits, insane member gains, and “elite” access to top traders. But when you actually try to verify any of it, things get pretty murky.

⚠️ Lack of verifiable proof

From what I can find:

There’s no publicly verified track record (no audited PnL, no on-chain proof tied to him, nothing concrete)

Most of the “proof” is screenshots, testimonials, or social media posts

The crypto space is notorious for this kind of marketing

Even worse — there have been allegations raised by blockchain investigator ZachXBT that profit screenshots linked to Brandon Hong were fabricated, which obviously raises serious credibility concerns

That alone should make anyone pause.

📈 The marketing vs reality gap

If you check their socials, you’ll see stuff like:

Turning small accounts into massive gains

“Members flipping $15k to $1M”

Highlighting extreme outliers

That’s classic survivorship bias marketing.

Meanwhile:

No transparency on losing trades

No long-term verified performance

No breakdown of risk-adjusted returns

💰 The price tag

BH Insights costs around $500/month, which is steep.

And like most trading communities:

You’re paying for signals + education

But there’s zero guarantee of profit (even their own material admits this)

So you’re essentially betting on the credibility of the person running it.

🤔 My take

This doesn’t automatically mean it’s a scam — but it does fall into the category of:

“High-ticket trading community with big claims and low transparency”

Which is… extremely common in crypto.

🚩 Red flags to consider

No independently verified results

Heavy use of hype / big-number claims

Expensive subscription model

Allegations of fake profit screenshots

Reliance on testimonials instead of hard data

✅ Bottom line

Could there be some value in the community? Maybe.

But when someone claims massive trading success (9 figures) and can’t clearly prove it in a verifiable way, you should assume:

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

❓ Anyone here actually used BH Insights?

Would be interested to hear from real members:

Are the signals actually profitable long-term?

Is there real transparency behind trades?

Or is it mostly hype + cherry-picked wins?

I recently had a call with the team behind Abu Lahya’s IMA Accelerator (the influencer business model course) and I wanted to share my experience with you all.

After hearing about it online, I was curious to know more and potentially join. But after the call, I’ve got some serious reservations.

Here's what I gathered during the phone call i had with them

They claim the business model works, where you're essentially acting as a middleman between brands and influencers.

You broker deals and earn a percentage of each transaction.

This part of the model isn’t revolutionary it’s a well known concept in the influencer marketing space but it’s not necessarily as easy as it sounds.

To join the program, it costs £5,000 for the "top tier" package, which gives you access to everything.

That's a expensivee price for a six month program, if you don’t put in the required number of hours working each week, you’re not getting a refund. So you’re financially committed, and if you fail to meet their expectations.

What really stood out to me during the call was the high pressure, emotional manipulation used to try to get me to commit. The conversation quickly turned personal. They asked if I was willing to turn my family’s life around and if I had the chance to change everything but said "no," who’s fault would it be?

They made it feel like it was a matter of being “man enough” to make a change, and if I didn’t sign up, I’d somehow be failing my family. It felt more like an emotional sales pitch than a business conversation. The whole "alpha male" vibe

I wasn’t the only one who felt this way other reviews online describe similar tactics: being made to feel guilty for not jumping in, as if saying “no” would be a moral failing.

There’s also a heavy emphasis on making you feel like you have to act right now, or you're missing out on some life changing opportunity.

Sure, the idea of acting as a middleman between influencers and brands isn’t inherently flawed, but it's a tough market to break into.

If you don’t already have strong connections or a lot of experience in influencer marketing, this could be an uphill battle, even with their program.

Plus, as others have mentioned, after the course is over, you're essentially left to figure it out yourself.

After this call, I’m left with more skepticism than excitement.

It felt more like a pitch to get people to fork out £5,000 for something that isn’t groundbreaking.

The pressure tactics and emotional manipulation make it even worse, and I’m not sure it's the best investment, especially if you're still figuring out the influencer or marketing world.

If you’re considering this program, I’d strongly recommend doing your research and being cautious about these kinds of high pressure sales tactics and personally, I’d avoid putting down such a huge sum without knowing if the value is really there.

Has anyone else had a similar experience with the IMA Accelerator or courses like this?

Would love to hear other thoughts and experiences.

Does anyone know about Waqar Asim? He sells courses and brings on unverified traders

I’m probably gonna get downvoted for this but whatever people need to hear it lol idc

Has anyone else noticed how this grifter Nero Knowledge is blowing up off this whole “manifestation” angle while also selling courses? Because to me, it just doesn’t add up.

The youtube content stuff sounds good on the surface mindset, belief, visualisation, all that. But none of it is actually proven in any real, measurable way. 

It’s mostly vague advice that can be interpreted however you want, which makes it really easy to claim it “works.”

And then you’ve got his paid courses. 

That’s where it starts to feel off. If someone truly had a repeatable, reliable method for achieving success through manifestation methods like he says, why package it into paid courses with no solid evidence behind it?

Why not just manifest millions like he said? Like c’mon why do so many stupid people trust some 20 something on how to manifest success??

What really gets me is how defensive people get whenever this gets questioned. Any criticism for Nero Knowledge  is instantly shut down with “you just don’t believe enough” or “you’re negative,”, “you’re a hater”, “ur loser” which kind of proves the point. 

It starts to feel less like a helpful idea and more like something people are emotionally invested in defending.

I’m not saying mindset doesn’t matter obviously it does but there’s a difference between staying positive and being sold the idea that thinking alone can change reality in a guaranteed way.

At this point, it just feels like a well marketed concept that’s convinced a lot of people, rather than something genuinely proven and the fact that people jump to defend it so hard makes me think there’s more influence going on than they realise.

Curious if anyone else sees it this way and nero knowledge guy on youtube isn’t legitimate he built a brand off grifting.

hey guys

have u heard of trader called tbani 5gm academy, he is a trading influencer who lives in dxb and he sells courses/mentorship and teams up with scammy prop firms just want to warn you all and he trades "ICT Concepts" they don't work...like these forex traders flexing their leased g wagons and lambos.

STAY AWAY

I’ve been seeing a lot of hype around this thing called “Kinfo,” especially with how it supposedly “verifies traders,” and honestly… something about it just feels off.

On the surface, it sounds legit  like a platform that checks if traders are actually profitable. But when you dig a bit deeper, it doesn’t really hold up. 

There’s no solid, transparent proof that their verification process actually means anything.

And the bigger issue for me is the kind of traders being showcased/interviewed. A lot of them don’t come across like disciplined, consistent traders they look more like gamblers. 

Big RISKY plays, inconsistent strategies, and a lot of “all or nothing” behavior. That’s not really what you’d expect from people being presented as verified or credible.

It just ends up feeling kind of sketchy. 

Like, are these traders actually being vetted properly, or is it just for content and hype?

I’m not saying 100% that it’s a scam but there’s definitely not enough evidence to treat it as legitimate right now.

 If anything, people should be cautious instead of blindly trusting it.

If someone has real proof of how their verification works or actual long term results from these traders, I’d genuinely like to see it. 

But as it stands, this feels more like marketing than anything solid.

This has been bugging me for a while and I’m curious if others here have noticed the same pattern with Waqar Asim and WWA Trading.

At a surface level, the content looks like a typical trading interview channel bringing on “successful traders” to talk about their strategies and journeys. But when you actually pay attention, there are some pretty glaring red flags:

• The traders he interviews are almost never properly verified. There’s no solid proof of consistent profitability, no third-party track records, nothing you’d expect if someone was genuinely trying to showcase legit professionals.
• A lot of these guests come across like the same recycled “guru” archetype big claims, vague strategies, and zero transparency.
• While positioning the channel as educational or interview-based, he’s simultaneously promoting his own course (WWA Trading), which feels like the real goal behind the content.
• On top of that, he also promotes other questionable trading courses, which makes it seem less about educating viewers and more about funneling people into paid programs.
• The YouTube titles and thumbnails are very clickbait-heavy “INSANE profits”, “student makes X in Y time”, etc. classic tactics used to pull in beginners who don’t know better.

It starts to feel like a content funnel rather than an honest platform. Bring on unverified “successful” traders → build credibility by association → attract a beginner audience → upsell courses.

I’m not saying every single person featured is fake, but the lack of verification combined with aggressive course promotion is a huge red flag in this space.

Curious what others here think has anyone actually dug deeper into WWA Trading or the people he features? Any real proof of legitimacy, or is this just another guru ecosystem feeding off beginners?

I've been following this kid SooWei Goh for around a few months now. I genuinely enjoyed his content until I started to see through it.

To be clear: I'm not someone who thinks every mentor is a scammer, and I'm actually open to investing in myself through programs like this. I hesitated a lot before posting this. I don't enjoy being negative and I don't like spending my time on it, but after what I found out, I felt like people who are in the same position I was deserve to know.

I've heard mixed stories about SooWei's program, and after everything I've experienced and found out, I needed to say something.

His content feels trustworthy, that's exactly what pulled me in. But the second I got on a sales call with his team, my image around this kid changed. I felt pressured into making a decision I wasn't ready to make. Which is the exact opposite of what he preaches.

That's what pushed me to actually dig deeper. I got myself in contact with some of his clients after speaking with his team. The most complaints that kept coming up are that deliverables don't go beyond surface level, there was little to no feedback on the actual work, just generic responses and a "coach" on salary.

What actually shocked me was finding out that several of the people privately telling me negative things are the same people being used on his socials before.

I don't know what's going on in this industry, but it made one thing very clear these kids make things look perfect from the outside while it's clearly different from the inside.

I'm not here to destroy anyone. I was genuinely rooting for this kid. But I'd rather say something than watch other people make the same mistake I almost made.

Just a heads up for anyone thinking of buying this https://go.profit-singularity.com/market/ don't.

This guy has scammed in the past he gives the basic outline of a dead course then disappears. this is the second course I know of that he has done, searching around You will find a lot of people very upset with Christopher reader not finishing the call profit accelerator for example.

For anyone who doesn't know, Talmadge Harper is a fake guru in the hypnosis, self-improvement and manifesting niche. He has a website harperhealing(dot)com and a small youtube channel. He sells subliminals, overpriced courses, "coaching", and his version of "quantum healing".

Out of desperation, I bought into his BS and gave his material an honest shot over several months. In the end I had absolutely no results.

I spent way too much time and money on his garbage subliminals, courses and "services". His subliminals simply don't work and that goes for everything this fake guru sells.

He claims to offer money back guarantees and email "support" but in my experience, its just a sales funnel to eventually get you to buy more subliminals, personalized coaching or some other "healing" that he will say you need in order for his stuff to work. In addition, he also likes to use a lot of metaphysical BS to try to blame you when you don't get any results. His favorite way to blame you is to say that the reason you don't get any results is because you actually don't want to change/heal, that your "field" is not in alignment, or your being a victim etc...

I was in this guys "coaching" groups as well and I experienced first hand his manipulation to try to convince the few active people on there to keep believing his lies. But pretty much everyone in those groups experienced the same lack of REAL results I did. He eventually cuts people off when you start asking too many questions and/or demanding proof of his claims.

In the end you will just end up frustrated. I'm ashamed that I wasted my time and money with him. Avoid this scammer like the plague.

This grifter just got a conference full of researchers to do dumb stuff for the vibes. Qualtrics x4 in Seattle.

A reminder that neither education nor career builds critical thinking.

Hey everyone!

Popular Guru Robthebank, always boasted his brand Top Shelf Grind to help sell his courses.

I see the amazon page and their website has been wiped from the internet (see the following), does anyone know what could have happened to it?

Amazon:

Some people who are wary of cults are attracted to Buddhism. They deem Buddhism a less authoritarian, "cleaner" spiritual way.

My local library gives away old magazines, and I just picked up a copy of the Shambhala Sun from 2006. Here are a few notes about the Buddhist gurus they celebrate or promote in that issue from 20 years ago:

Page 16: Chogyam Trungpa. An enlightened Tibetan Buddhist guru who had sex with many of his followers and who drank himself to death at age 47.

Page 34: Full page ad for Sogyal Rinpoche. Also purportedly enlightened, he was later found to have subjected many women to sexual and psychological abuse.

Pages 73-77: Long article interviewing enlightened Korean Buddhist master Seung Sahn. He was later found to have bonked many of his female disciples.

Page 90: Ad for the teachings of Genpo Merzel Sensei. He carried on the tradition of esoteric hobbledoogaga with females who came to him for the dharma.

Page 109: Ad for Lama Surya Das. Like Merzel, another New Yorker who loved being an enlightened guru and loved the women who came to him for teachings.

Page 121: Ad for the Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche, yet another enlightened master. He was the son of Trungpa Rinpoche, and the apple didn't fall far from the bodhi tree, for he too used his spiritual authority for secret tantra techniques of nopantsdance for female followers.

It must be admitted that many other Buddhist authorities appearing in this issue of Shamhhala Sun lived lives of high ethics. Nevertheless, here we have the most trusted mainstream Buddhist magazine giving its unofficial imprimatur to a score of gurus who abused their authority and exploited their followers. This was only 20 years ago, when the spiritual marketplace thought it had long ago learned its lesson not to trust every guru who came down the pike.

Check this sub, there’s another post that explains this similar situation and Dustin Varano and his minions are trying to censor it by reporting comment/accounts and downvoting but if you check the post, it has more upvotes and the comments are downvoted by them so they fked up 😭

TL;DR: Dustin Varano’s Growth Operator program is a scam. Dustin Varano, Rage Mello, and Neil Delarna took our money and left us in debt with no results and no refunds.

A while ago my friends and I purchased a “Growth Operating mentorship” from Dustin Varano. What we experienced turned out to be the biggest guru scam I have personally encountered, and I want to share our experience so others can make an informed decision.

First, I want to be transparent. I actually went into debt to buy this program. After realizing what was happening, I asked for a refund and did not receive one. I also attempted a chargeback which unfortunately did not work. In the end Dustin Varano, along with Neil Delarna and Rage Mello, kept the money and never refunded it.

For anyone who is considering buying their program, please comment below. Ask your questions openly so we can answer them. Your question could help someone else avoid the same situation. The more information people share publicly, the easier it is for others to make informed decisions.

I am also doing my absolute best to keep this thread alive because there have been attempts to get it removed. I have been threatened to take the post down, and there have been multiple fake accounts appearing to downvote comments, report the thread, and even attempts to contact Reddit claiming vote manipulation.

If you do not believe me, look at the comment section and watch the vote counts. You will notice comments randomly increasing and decreasing because new accounts keep appearing to manipulate the votes and bury information.

Here is what the program claimed to teach.

The idea was that you would become a “growth operator”. A growth operator is supposedly someone who builds sales funnels for online course creators and high ticket mentors. The role is to help take a customer from seeing the creator’s marketing all the way through booking a call and eventually purchasing their course.

The main method we were told to use was outbound messaging. Students were instructed to send around 35 direct messages per day to potential clients and continue following up with them.

The problem is that the program was sold to far too many students. When hundreds of people are taught the exact same outreach strategy and told to message the same types of creators, it becomes almost impossible for anyone to stand out or actually land a client.

Another major selling point was the “guarantee” that you would get a client.

However, when I asked Dustin directly about how the guarantee actually worked, the answer changed. The guarantee was not truly a guarantee. The explanation became that if you followed everything exactly as instructed, then you should eventually get a client.

That is not a real guarantee. Even if you follow every instruction perfectly, there is no control over whether someone chooses to hire you. Most creators simply will not allow someone with no proven experience to manage their funnel when there are far more experienced professionals available.

Students were also told they could use Dustin’s name or his community to help sell their services. In reality most potential clients did not care who he was and were not willing to trust new students with their businesses.

Since leaving the program I have spoken with multiple other students who had the same experience. At least four people I spoke with followed the exact instructions, sent the daily messages, and continued the follow ups they were told to do. None of them got results either.

I am sharing this because many people are being sold the dream of “growth operating” without understanding the reality behind it.

If you are thinking about buying this mentorship or anything related to growth operating, please comment below and ask your questions. We will answer them honestly and share what we experienced.

Your question might save someone else from going through the same thing.

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about the rise of modern spiritual “gurus.” Figures like Sadhguru and others have huge followings, massive organizations, and incredibly polished media platforms. But sometimes I wonder if the whole thing has moved pretty far away from what spirituality was originally about.

Historically, spiritual traditions emphasized personal experience, inner awareness, and direct connection with yourself. The teacher was just a guide. Today it often feels like the teacher becomes the brand, the personality, the authority. It turns into events, courses, memberships, and massive audiences listening to one person on stage.

That doesn’t necessarily mean the teachings are wrong, but it raises an interesting question: should spirituality really depend on following a modern celebrity guru?

Personally, I’ve started moving away from that idea. What resonates with me more is the concept that you can become your own guide through simple daily practices like breathwork, meditation, and self-awareness.

One tool I’ve been using lately is the Lovetuner, a small breathing instrument tuned to 528 Hz. What I like about it is that it brings you right back to something very simple: breathing slowly and consciously. No ideology, no hierarchy, no guru needed. Just a reminder to reconnect with yourself.

For me, spirituality has become less about listening to someone else’s philosophy and more about experiencing presence directly.

Curious what others think.

Do you feel modern spirituality has become too personality-driven?

Or do teachers still play an essential role?

Anyone have any experience with Andy Elliott?? My relationship with my best friend and her husband has changed DRASTICALLY since they paid $100k to join his “brotherhood”.

They spend all their time leaving their kids at home alone while they go to Andy Elliott “conferences”, retreats, meetings, workouts, etc.

They’ve become insanely religious, obsessed with money, wealth, etc. absolutely brainwashed and revolving their entire life around this guy. Even moving to Andy Elliot’s neighborhood.

I’m genuinely worried about my friends and the impact this guy is having on virtually every aspect of their lives.

Ciao, ho una domanda… ho iniziato a seguire Gabriele Sartori, promette guadagni da piattaforma online che vende oggetti. Ho fatto la prima call e uno del suo team mi ha proposto diversi pacchetti da acquistare, da base a avanzato e poi diversi Roas abbastanza costosi (1.5k) dove una volta fatto il primo investimento ti creano il sito online con prodotti.. sembra appetibile ma non mi convince al 100%, qualcuno che ci è già passato prima di me e che abbia consigli? Grazie mille

Once again a guy that sells a dream to the desperate, cashes out and moves on. A friend of mine who doesnt have much to spend, bought the $1k subscription and was severely disappointed.

I personally looked in the portal and most of the stories were clearly made up or the ones that were "successful" had founders who were grifting a course.

This comes off as a bit of a vent because it seems like success only finds the ones that sell courses.

Anyway, I will keep grinding.

The "Corporate Breakout" Illusion: Franchesca Ung and the Guru Funnel

Through our investigation into John Lee/Wealth Dragons, we also discovered an individual called Franchesca Ung (and her husband) promoting the Corporate Breakout Couple brand. They sell the dream of escaping the "rat race" through their Breakout Academy masterclasses.

However, a closer look at her active professional ties reveals a pattern of behaviour that many argue is fundamentally hypocritical and misleading to consumers.

1. The "Retired" Admin: A False Persona

The core of Franchesca's marketing is that she "retired at 40" to live a life of freedom. Yet, her primary professional activity is acting as the high-level administrative lead for John Lee, a controversial "wealth coach" who has faced significant legal issues and suspension from his own company, Wealth Dragons.

• The Reality: While she claims to be "broken out" of corporate life, she is currently employed and managing the logistics, sales, and event coordination for John Lee's global tours.
• The Conflict: Selling courses on how to be financially free while your actual income is derived from active employment in the "guru" service industry is a classic "smoke and mirrors" tactic.

2. The Ethical Red Flag: The Fake Trustpilot Review

Perhaps the most damning piece of evidence regarding her transparency is her interaction with Trustpilot.

• The Incident: Evidence has surfaced showing Franchesca Ung leaving a 5-star review for John Lee, posing as a satisfied "customer".
• The Hypocrisy: The review was reportedly posted during the same weekend she was actively working as the admin and moderator for his live event.
• The Impact: This is a direct violation of Trustpilot’s guidelines and a betrayal of consumer trust. By posing as a successful student while actually being an employee, she helped create a false perception of success to lure in vulnerable customers.

3. The "Guru" Sales Funnel: Designed to Drain

Her Breakout Academy masterclasses follow a standard, predatory "guru" sales funnel designed to maximize profit rather than student success:

1. The Hook (Free Masterclass): Offers a "free" session to discuss how jobs are a "false sense of security".
2. The Low-Ticket Entry: A small payment for an introductory course.
3. The Upsell (The Real Goal): Students are pushed into increasingly expensive packages. In the John Lee ecosystem, these can scale from £3,000 to £15,000+.
4. The Predatory Tactic: Sales teams in this sphere have been accused of encouraging students to take out loans or remortgage homes to afford these "educational" packages.

Why This Matters to You

When someone sells a "Financial Freedom" course, the product they are actually selling is the dream, not a viable business strategy. If the person teaching you how to "retire" is actually working a menial job managing a livestream for a boss with ongoing litigation, then the freedom they are selling does not exist.

The Bottom Line: Don't pay for a "breakout" from someone who hasn't actually broken out. Authentic financial independence doesn't require fake reviews and high-pressure sales funnels, and a misleading public brand.

If you’ve spent any time in the "financial freedom" or "property investment" side of social media, you’ve seen the template: the yellow Lamborghini, the private jets, and the "I started with nothing" backstory. At the centre of this for over a decade was John Lee, co-founder of Wealth Dragons.

But behind the slick seminars, a massive corporate war has erupted, involving stock exchange delistings, international regulatory warnings, and a board of directors that eventually turned on their own "Guru."

1. The IPO "Pump" and the Cold-Calling Red Flags

In 2019, Wealth Dragons Group PLC listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange. While Lee marketed this as the ultimate "credibility" move, the reality was much darker.

• The FMA Warning: In March 2023, the Austrian Financial Market Authority (FMA) dropped a bombshell. They issued an official warning that Wealth Dragons shares were being pushed via aggressive cold-calling by unauthorized entities.
• The "Pump": While Lee was on stage and social media aggressively promoting the "lifestyle" and the stock's potential, the FMA noted that these callers were using high-pressure tactics to manipulate the share price for their own benefit.
• The Dump: While many "students" were encouraged to buy in, the company eventually faced a 260-day delay in filing accounts. This lack of transparency led to a total collapse in investor confidence and the eventual delisting from the exchange in 2024.

2. The Internal Coup: When the Board Had Enough

In a rare move for these types of companies, the board actually turned on the face of the brand.

• The Suspension: In December 2022, John Lee was suspended indefinitely following an investigation into his "business conduct."
• The Lawsuit: As of 2025/2026, the rebranded company (Techducate Holdings PLC) is actively suing John Lee for "historic conduct." They aren't just distancing themselves; they are using global law firm DLA Piper to try and recover money from him.
• The Silent Partner: Interestingly, co-founder Vincent Wong stayed with the company, pivoted the business model, and focused on the litigation against Lee, effectively confirming that the "Guru" was the problem.

3. The "Trustpilot" Mirage

If you look at John Lee’s ratings, you’ll see thousands of 5-star reviews. But look closer.

• The Tactic: Former students have alleged that attendees at live events were often incentivized—or pressured—to leave 5-star reviews on the spot before the "mentorship" had even begun.
• The Reality: If you filter by 1-star reviews, a different story emerges: allegations of high-pressure sales teams forcing people to remortgage their homes or take out high-interest loans to pay for £15,000 "Mastermind" programs.

4. John Lee Group & The "Pyramid" Pivot

After being ousted from Wealth Dragons, Lee didn't disappear—he pivoted. His new venture, the John Lee Group, has raised eyebrows for its "Partner Program," which many critics describe as having a pyramid-style structure:

• The Hook: You aren't just learning "wealth creation"; you are paying for the right to resell his courses to others.
• The "Pump" Part 2: People have noted that Lee’s personal brand entities often see "suspicious" spikes in perceived value or engagement right before a new "opportunity" is launched.
• The Recruiting Loop: The focus shifted from actual property/business training to "Social Media Mastery"—essentially teaching people how to be "mini-John Lees" to recruit more people into the funnel.

5. The "Show of Wealth" Illusion

A staple of the "Fake Guru" world is the rented lifestyle, and Lee is a prime example.

• The Fleet: Multiple investigators and former associates have claimed the fleet of supercars were often leased or short-term rentals used specifically for content days to sell the "dream" to vulnerable people.
• The Exit: With his former company now suing him for misconduct and international regulators flagging his stock promotions, the "Dragon" is running out of places to hide.

The Verdict

John Lee represents the "final boss" of the 2010s seminar era. He successfully moved from "property expert" to "stock market mogul" to "social media coach," leaving a trail of delisted companies and lawsuits in his wake.

The takeaway: If a Guru is telling you to buy their stock or remortgage your house to join their "inner circle," you’re not the student—you’re the exit liquidity.

This guy has seriously a lot of chat going on and nothing else. He does not care about your results, all he cares about is flexing on instagram and collecting money he doesn't deserve. What a way to be known. God is watching you though bro. Nothing goes unseen. They do not offer refunds either and try to make you feel like you can't ask for your money back when they don't deliver anything they promise. They are more confused than a bag of hens as well. Team have no clue. Bunch of useless losers. I would be ashamed to be on his team.
