or to convince smaller fish that they're getting a 'deal' shelling out for less expensive packages. that's another old con of some sort, i vaguely recall.So we are both
doing this for free, right, to convince rich whales to buy phone conversations for $30,000 a piece, right?
Scientology creates manipulative ass hats like Grant CardoneGrant Cardone - New OT VIII, L10, L11, L12, Super Power Completion
Donates millions to the IAS. Holds seminars in front of 30,000+ people. His sales training book “10X“ a bestseller. Promotes Scientology overtly and covertly wherever he goes.
that sticks out to me, too -- like sore thumb.What a mindful spiritual thetan. When you see how he behave, you can't wait to reach his OT level
When reality finally intervenes and Mister 10x's real estate empire goes under, it's gonna be brutal.Here is some outstanding investigative reporting on Cardone's now-seriously-wobbling real estate empire by Jeffrey Augustine (Scientology Money Project) with equally superb coverage by Aaron Smith-Levin (Growing Up In Scientology) over on YouTube.
Before commenting on the video, it may be worth mentioning that I have been following Cardone's problematic securities issues for some time. I noticed a good number of months ago, after Cardone's PR image began to tarnish, rust and develop erosively transparent holes in his studied pitch for new investors, that he began clumsily stumbling around for his new-and-improved way to fund his operations with new capital.
Many of those new pilot pitches miserably crashed and burned, such as the show he did on "Wolf of Wallstreet" Jordan Belfort's podcast, Robert Kiyosaki's podcast and countless other websites that slash, slam and shatter Cardone's sleazy, self-serving advice to investors.
As that tsunami wave of disapproval turned to contempt and (ultimately) to mocking, Cardone began to shift to different approaches. The most recent trend (last few months) is the sudden and bizarre ENDORSEMENTS BY ONLINE "INFLUENCERS" that championed Grant's lavishly expensive CONSULTING SERVICES. When I began to see those popping up out of nowhere recently, I assumed that he was trying to re-invent himself while his titanic real estate portfolio was beginning to sink under the weight of investor revolt, SEC investigations and a general PR meltdown where the infallible money guru was about to be exposed for having mega money problems.
Here are a couple examples of what looks to be utter bullshit, where people are posting such "WINS" as paying grant $30,000 per phone conversation for advice.
If Cardone was a hustlin' 3-Card-Monty scammer working on the streets of New York, those two shills would be standing around him and clapping and pretending to bet and win big! LOL
(sure guys, we believe you)

It's gonna be brutal. Potential National Nightly News stuff. NBC PBS CBS ABC MSNBC M.O.U.S.E...... an OUT PR Bernie Madoff, Dien Bien Phu Nightmare (for the folk in Rio Vista that's the losing battle that convinced the Frogs to skeedaddle out of Vietnam)Devastating Debunking!
Observations while watching that outstanding video by Aaron:
- - Grant does not look good. His eyeballs have retreated 2-3 inches backwardsand sunk deeper into his skull. Also his signature cold wolf grin has disappeared.- - This is about the same stage that Scientology's last golden-boy fund managerReid Slatkin started sweating bullets to try and stay ahead of SEC investigatorsby creating counterfeit documents and fugazi letterheads from mystery Europeanbanks where the pretend trading transactions and investor capital was located.- - Beneath all the desperate thrashing and splashing of a drowning man, hereis Cardone's Hail Mary message and hope: "TRUST ME—YOU SCUMBAGS!"
It will be fascinating to see which of Grant's "Loyal Officers" fold their cards first and hit the lifeboats, before the SEC, bankruptcy receivers,
criminal defense attorneys and bilked investors all descend on Cardone's assets in a "first come first served" feeding frenzy.
And then there is another freaky fear that Cardone has to be having nightmares about. What the Church of Scientology will do to him--because they are a lot scarier, scummier and treacherously unethical than he himself is.
This would be a really cool mini-series on Netflix. It needs a great title, so I'll start working on a list of possibles with this one:
KULT KARMA KAMIKAZE
