·I think he's actively supporting hundreds of scam/shill bots in his video comments.
Buried in the above video is a pinned(!) comment (which I believe only the owner of the video can endorse) which reads to me as an obvious bot scammer/shill account, with hundreds of bots liking and commenting, trying to push a "Mrs Angela Mae Mcclain" capital investor.
-----------------------
Original Comment: (which, like most scam bots is vague, speaking of easy money, and not really related to the video): "Nice video, love how you take your time to educate your viewers. You gave me the mindset to invest my savings now I have made profits over $120k Right now and still making more , I am enjoying a good life with what I made investing. Indeed ‚building a Portfolio income (investing) through a licensed investment adviser is one out of many ways to earn passive income."
Sub-comments:
"Quite impressive but HOW!!?I know it's possible, my colleague at work got her first investment return of 40K after two weeks and she quit the job , I would appreciate if you show me how to go about it.."
"My first experience with Mrs Angela Mae Mcclain gave me the assurance and confidence that has made me to invest without fear of losing, I really appreciate her efforts and transparency."
"That's awesome. I dealt with crypto last year on Robinhood, tried some index but didn't take it out so I lost it by the end. Any consistent strategies?"
"I got Angela Mae Mcclain recommendations on ABC News in December 2022 and started following her lead and made $23,450 in two week. Lost my job in April 2022 and right now I'm back on top again and I always win with her guidance."
"Mrs Angela Mae Mcclain service is a talk of the town in Sydney Australia , I started with a little amount of 1ETH and she made huge returns and I have been constantly investing with her"
"She's a great personality in the state I'm also earning from her."
"Please how can I contact Mrs Angela Mae Mcclain, keep seeing her name pop up all over the place and I and my family are interested."
"I will advice you find a good crypto trader like Mrs Angela Mae Mcclain, that will help you through."
"Oh yeah She is always active on whats-app."

This sort of Bot activity is actually really common on investment type videos these days. not to defend this guy (who is an obvious clown) but I think the algorithms just look for certain types of videos to comment on.

·When are people going to say out loud that what is going on here is a scam?
Even the most cursory glance at what's being going over the past week or two indicates a business that is about to go under.
The only question in my mind is: when the dust settles will their "business decisions" be better characterized as "horrible" or "criminal"?

·I was so annoyed seeing Oisin O'Malley making a video about this guy, talking about how Anthony Farrer made a YouTube channel to create trust with the viewer, and then taking advantage of that trust.
Oisin, the guy who steals viewers money and watches. I wonder is he selling them frankens too? I bet he is.

Looking "her" up -- it's odd that she's been in business 15 years but "her" website has only been around since June. She's a real person but these scammers have co-opted her information and made up some phishing campaign around her. So yeah, he has to be involved with her scam if he's pinning that post since only the page owner can do that.

‘Timepiece Gentleman’ busted for stealing $3 million from customers
by: Josh DuBose
Posted: Nov 8, 2023 / 07:00 PM PST
A 35-year-old man from Los Angeles, known as “The Timepiece Gentleman,” who operated a luxury watch consignment business in Beverly Hills was arrested Tuesday by agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation on charges of defrauding customers out of an estimated $3 million, authorities announced on Wednesday.
Anthony Farrer founded his business, Gentlemen Timepieces, in Texas in 2017 and opened his Beverly Hills location in 2022, according to a news release from the United States Attorney’s Office.
Until recently, the 35-year-old lived in a luxury rental apartment in downtown L.A., was known to drive a Lamborghini and Ducati motorcycles and traveled frequently to gamble in Las Vegas.
Between late 2022 until the summer of 2023, Farrer promised customers he would sell their high-end luxury watches on consignment and collect a 5% commission on the sale, federal officials said. However, instead of giving his customers their money after the sale, he kept the proceeds for himself.
The so-called Timepiece Gentleman is also accused of luring buyers into wiring money to purchase a specific watch and then sending them a different one. In one case, authorities said Farrer used one customer’s Rolex watch, which he’d agreed to sell on consignment, to pay off a debt to another person in lieu of the money he owed even though he had no permission to do so.
“Farrer operated a scheme in a similar manner to a Ponzi scheme and would lull victims into a sense of security by engaging in smaller successful transactions prior to requesting or engaging in significantly larger transactions,” the federal complaint alleges.
In August, Farrer reportedly abandoned his Beverly Hills store, but stayed active on social media, posting about his various travels throughout the U.S. and advertising watches for sale as recently as October.
Multiple customers contacted law enforcement, reporting that they were defrauded out of money wired or luxury watches mailed to Farrer. While investigators estimate the current victim losses to be $3 million, the investigation is ongoing, and authorities are working to identify additional victims.
The 35-year-old was arrested on Nov. 7 by FBI agents at a storage facility in Venice and was held overnight. He is facing charges of felony wire fraud, a crime that carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison.
His arraignment is scheduled for Dec. 14.
