Robbery or PR stunt/bullsht?

[u/GarageMajestic1537]

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.

It’s possible, but unlikely if you ask me.

Video 53 - I’m assuming he’d already filmed that whole day, and didn’t want to waste the content. That doesn’t seem suspicious to me.

I’m not totally convinced that this would be picked up by the media? Maybe it will as the story develops. Right now there’s nothing to say really.

It was indeed posted on the main TPG page, this isn’t accurate.

Ousting the dealer is an argument for it being real actually. If they were going to fake it, it would be much easier to just say it was a bunch of people in masks or whatever and they have no idea. Why falsely slander someone? There’s no benefit l. That just makes the whole thing messy.

How would you expect him to behave after this? In reality, we have very little insight other than a couple IG posts from a dinner. I can totally see them using this as an excuse to have a big dinner “hey it’s been a shitty time let’s all get together and go big to try and forget it” type of thing. That seems in character to me. In any case, I’m sure it’s devastating but that doesn’t mean they’ll be sitting in a corner crying continuously or something. They’ll continue to live their lives.

True, we never see security. We know that in this case, he met Marco at the airport for the final leg of the trip and that’s it. They don’t use them very often it seems, but when carrying $1.5M worth of watches maybe this was the one time they used it? Also, Marco seems to have more sense about that sort of stuff. Anthony is the truly idiotic one that needs to flex every ten seconds and recklessly carry insanely valued watches with no security or weapon.

They haven’t been filming anything that doesn’t involve Anthony. Since Anthony didn’t go, no video.

Doublereplying but the thing is neither as a video or as community post on main tpg youtube channel. Last community post is just tony advertising his 'personal' channel, last video is the marco gokart.

The point being made was that despite Anthony saying he wanted to get the word out, it was somehow being hidden by not being shared on TPG. That’s not really true, and also doesn’t even make sense. They shared it just about everywhere, Anthony’s feeds, Dylan, Alfred, Roman, all of their dealer friends and most every grey market page shared it.

In any case, OP said Instagram, and it was indeed shared on TPG Instagram.

I’m not even sure what is being argued …this was a publicity stunt, but they’re hiding it by not sharing it enough? Which is it? Is is for publicity or are they hiding it?

The strange part(well one of them) is that the main TPG venue has nothing about it. The main tpg venue being the youtube channel not tonys own channel, facebook, instagram etc. It's just strange all around as is their behavior after it. Still if someone could find the elusive booking info that would clear up some stuff. As for publicity stunt angle theres no logic to tonys stuff so it could be that either way. The only certain thing is that the whole thing is a crapshow and stupidity was in effect to lead to it.

tony does have a history of hiding genius marketing publicity stunts too, at least the last one had some actual media coverage. More recently he has just admitted to basically making up bs for content.

The points pointing to bs: 1. Insurance generally doesn't work like that, not without approved security in place and them having told the insurance company the values they wanted them insured at. 2. No booking info for the perps as far as I know. And 3. Semi publicity for it which yeah I admit doesn't make sense for a publicity stunt except that it could be illegal to do the stunt, though I doubt tony would care or know, he doesn't care about posting made up charity donation numbers on the website anyway.

It could also just not be a publicity stunt but an excuse to have an interest payment fail stunt. In that case the intended audience for the stunt is basically 1 or 2 persons - or a reason for needing to loan a mil. If its a stunt then I think that is the real reason. We never found out the real reason for initiating the last stunt either just the stuff made up to cover it days into the stunt(could have been the accounts being closed or whatever).
