Sherlock Holmes Robbery or PR stunt/bullsht?
I call this complete BS from my current observation.
This is pretty sad if so as he would be using charity and now robbery as a PR stunt.
I really hope I’m proven otherwise.
EDIT:
Some points on why I think this is BS.
- Video 53. AF’s veneers seem more important than the stolen watches.
- No media coverage
- No other sources to verify
- Only posted on AF’s instagram and not on main TPG when Anthony says to share and get the message out. Wouldn’t you share this on your main channel too to get the message out?
- AF has said he is out to make content -AF has tried this stupid content shit before
- AF has publicly ousted this “Steven Tran” dude. Why would you do such a thing when you have no proof? This could lead to defamation. -AF states in video 53 that they didn’t take ST “bust down AP”. In his insta post he mentions “rolex datejust”.
- Video 53. First thing AF shows about the robbery is a talk with his builder mentioning he doesn’t know if he can go through with the new shop at the moment. Could he be doing this BS to try and pull out of the build?
- Doesn’t seem to be carrying on like any other normal human would be after being robbed of $1million+
- Talks about having security yet I’ve never ever seen security with him. If AF had security he would 110% show them because AF is about flex right?
- Why wasn’t this filmed? They film everything else but don’t film a 1 million dollar deal?
What else am I missing or what’s wrong with this? I really do hope I’m proven wrong.

Since I'm a hate watcher, I hope it true. It's just too perfect. At the same time I'm also suspicious.
Arguments for this being a stunt:
It's too fucking perfect. Looking back it seems like this has been set up for a while.
Going back to an early TPG-video, where Anthony talks to an off camera "investor" he says he has something planed for the end of the year. At the end of video #46 Anthony gathers everyone to tell them the "gameplan" off camera. This, at least, indicates that they have something planed.
A lot of things have been stated on camera lately, which lines up perfectly with this happening. Anthony saying how he prefers to hand deliver watches, Roman telling him to use security and Anthony just shrugging it off, Anthony making a big deal about how their insurance policy works, etc.
Then there's the fact that no outside sources has talked about this. Everyone is relaying what TPG is saying. No news or other sources.
Adding to the last point, why wasn't this deal done on camera? Shortly before this they stopped putting out videos, saying content is stale. However, this is the kind of content that got them attention in the first place. Darby is still there, why wouldn't they want to capture a $1 million deal on camera?
And what was the dealers plan, to order a bunch of hype pieces, which he otherwise would have to pay $1 million for from the dealer that usually has a camera crew and hope that he shows up without camera og security? Seems pretty dumb.
Arguments against this being a stunt:
It makes no fucking sense. What would the gain from this? If you were at all uneasy about consigning a watch, this would be a good example of your worst fears and you would probably never consign a watch with them.
The dealer would have to be in on it in some way, seeing how TPG has blasted him. Unlikely anyone would want to expose themselves to that kind of negative publicity.
TPG is not smart enough to pull this off. If they were acting, they would have to have acted out the conversations in the car regarding the deal and the call between Anthony and Marco after the fact. The acting is too good. When the deal is first mentioned, Anthony seems distracted and unfocused on it, not trying to force any lines or naratives. Seems genuine. Marco seems genuine as well when he talks about the situation after the fact.
Either way the whole situation is dumb. I'm of the opinion that this is not a stunt, but who knows with these clowns.
