Because Homeboy was just charging whatever the fuck he wanted to charge me.

There was no fixed percentage of upcharge.

It was just, oh, well, you're doing good, so maybe I could do this.

Maybe I could charge you this much, and you won't notice.

That's how I see it has happened.

And I don't know the exact amounts of money.

It's over a few hundred thousand dollars that...

went right in this fucking pocket that i didn't find out about i didn't know about and i didn't have a chance to know about it because i didn't fucking know until my hyper vigilant shit starts and i start nitpicking and just like sitting there thinking about every single thing that could be going on like as soon as you set me free like that i'm gonna find it and after our conversation i'm like yeah it's pretty much everything i'm speculating seems 99 accurate so i decided to fucking terminate the partnership and i was like yeah fuck this i'm done

i had to swallow the fact that all the money of all the mold fees of all the things that i've paid i'm never gonna get it back all the products i've been working on dead stopped and i'm not allowed to contact the manufacturers that they found and used so their fear is being cut out of transactions so it's like it's in the contract but you can't contact them and then when my sunglasses came

Over 800 of them were defective.

And there's no coverage, there's no warranty, there's no shit for it if something's wrong.

So you've connected me with manufacturers and got me making products with manufacturers that offer no warranty, no quality control, and no refund or anything if something's off.

Like, oh, I just gotta fucking eat it.

So I'm looking at it like, okay, I gotta walk away.

and everything i've been working on is done my future of seeing how i can make money is done that's a whole financial crisis i was under of there is no hope of potentially making anything anytime soon i'm gonna have to go back to months of sampling and trying and new manufacturers and all this so like financially everything's stuck and stopped for me what i have is all the inventory that i have my sunglasses that took a year to make

i'm not going to be able to make more i'm not going to trust that manufacturer to make more so all that's done if i want to make more of my sunglasses when they sell out i gotta restart with a whole new manufacturer just a lot of hopelessness a lot of fear and on top of all of that social media has like come down to like a slower pace for me now and there's been new ownership of tick tock

You don't get paid fuck off TikTok no more.

YouTube has some kind of switch.

You don't really get paid that much off YouTube.

So pretty much every means of me making money got wiped out.
