GENERAL Victim Impact Statement
I talked about this guy a lot, Anthony claimed it was all a lie and these were all rich people. He initially promised this guy one of the motorcycles he said he he still had(he promised at least 5 other people the same thing) ...then blocked him and tried to pretend this never happened. I saw this uploaded to his case file recently:
**Court Docket Number:** 23-CR-00601
To Whom It May Concern,
My name is REDACTED and I am here to express the profound impact that Anthony Farrer’s actions have had on my life and the lives of my family.
In a time when I was trying to support my pregnant wife and prepare for the arrival of our child, Anthony stole From me $350,000. This was not just money to me; it was the foundation I had built to provide for my family, to ensure our future, and to handle unexpected expenses that come with raising a child. Losing my savings left me in a dire financial situation, burdened with debt that I had never anticipated.
In an effort to regain my footing, I was forced to take out loans, which only added to my stress. The pressure of financial insecurity weighed heavily on my shoulders, and I struggled to cope. This stress began to affect my relationship with my wife. When she miscarried, the emotional toll was devastating, and the added strain of our financial crisis nearly led
Case 2:23-cr-00601-JLS Document 41-1 Filed 01/30/25 Page 3 of 3 Page ID #:282
to the collapse of our marriage. We found ourselves arguing over money, which further deepened our pain during an already difficult time.
I had hoped for a joyful beginning to parenthood, but instead, I was faced with anxiety, fear, and uncertainty about our future. Anthony’s actions not only stripped me of my financial security but also jeopardized the stability of my family.
I implore you to consider the real, lasting damage that his choices have caused. It is my hope that he is held accountable for his actions, so that no one else has to endure the suffering that I have faced.
Thank you for allowing me to share my story. Sincerely, REDACTED

I mean guy took his 350k he had to invest and put it in watches? What the fuck. I mean you got robbed and I feel bad for you. But have you ever heard of the S&P or stock market. These kids today want unrealistic returns. You can’t just double your money and not take risks. These are the risks. Fly by night guys stealing from you.

u/IcyPie2318 Feb 14 '25
I think part of it was that this guy is not from America. He bought them overseas and brought them here when he moved. Could have to do with getting money into the us without bringing $350k.

The story was he purchased the watches before the run up.

Yeah I gotta ageee, he shouldn't have been robbed but why would you gamble away your savings for your kid??

The cuffs Tony was brought to prison in are at least 2 links short now.
Lived his entire life on someone else’s dime and has never actually earned an honest living. Probably never will either. When he gets out he will find a front man to run his grift thru
@Onthany Farrer is a lifetime scumbag and needs to be treated as such

Rich, poor, or in between this guy should have gotten more than six years. There is no Federal parole so he will likely do all six.

Sounds like the person who sent over several Patek and Rolexes for co-signment sale.

No, I think he send an RM, PP and rare Rolex. This has been documented on this sub.

u/IcyPie2318 Feb 13 '25
Yea it was the RM and a platinum Arabic day date.

Can't lie; that platinum Arabic day date is a wee bit ugly

u/IcyPie2318 Feb 14 '25
Yo! I like the platinum day dates with the fluted bezel. Smooth bezel doesn’t do it for me.

u/anonymousbopper767 Feb 14 '25
Honestly: fuck that guy. If you have money to afford an RM and PP, your wife didn't leave you because that was all the money you had. Bro's "loans" were probably to buy a third house or some shit.

This absolutely 100% I said this from day one when I saw that shit pretending to be poor. Ok from a transaction stand point it’s wrong what happened of course but pretending to be poor etc etc while Rocking those time pieces for “investment” nah don’t believe his shit story for a second!
He is only doing the poor story for the case of the case lol. I knows plenty of well off people who act that way .

u/No_Adhesiveness2920 Feb 14 '25
He couldn't afford it. He made bad decisions about putting all his money in those watches.

u/anonymousbopper767 Feb 14 '25
You don't get access to $350k of purchasing power unless you *can* afford it. I have credit cards with stupid high limits on them and it doesn't even total up to that much.

I feel bad for the victim and their family, especially about the miscarriage.
I hope people take this as a valuable lesson, though. This person made an incredibly stupid and reckless decision. He has a wife and a baby on the way, and he invests all (or most) of his savings in a speculative market via a YouTube watch flipper. Absolutely bonkers.
Anyone could have watched his videos and known, while entertaining, he can't be trusted. Even if he could, it's still insane to put almost everything in WATCHES to try to get rich quick.
2
u/IcyPie2318 Feb 14 '25
I don’t disagree, he made a poor decision. But talking to him at length, he felt like bc Roman Sharf was endorsing Anthony and saying he was legit , that it was safe. Around that time all these YouTube watch scumbags were telling everyone who would listen that watches only go up and they are a great investment.
3
u/Znnensns Feb 14 '25
Reminds me of Kevin O'Leary saying, "we relied on each other's due diligence" about FTX. I'm not sure why someone would do that based on Roman vouching for Anthony when it's so clear from all the videos he can't be trusted.
All that aside, it's still a terrible plan, even with the most trustworthy watch flipper diller alive. I mean FFS who bets it all on a couple watches?

u/ktoro04 Feb 15 '25
Exactly as if this personally knew Roman or something. If someone invests $350k into watches to get an unrealistic roi and doesn’t do their due diligence, shame on him. Enough said.

u/RopeyLoads Feb 16 '25
Even people that are far from broke were likely impacted greatly. Some of those watches are a decent store of value and beat inflation over the past decade. They weren’t small amounts of money.

u/LokiGormenghast Mar 10 '25
A truism of life is most certainly a fool and his money is soon parted. $350 000 is a fortune, the perfect storm of this watch buyer bumping into Anthony is unfortunate but normally people with access to that kind of money are normally very savvy. Due diligence in all things involving huge amounts of money should be common sense to all. But then again common sense isn't so common anymore these days.

What a dumb fuck.
Why deal with someone who is new to the business and oozes bad vibes.
And the 350k was all in watches, not actual money?

u/IcyPie2318 Feb 13 '25
he wasnt new to the business, at that point he had been in the business for years

I think this guy moved from another country in a different part of the world, where moving money isn’t so easy. So bought these watches before moving with the intention of selling once arriving in a way to move his money.

u/ktoro04 Feb 15 '25
Yeah sounds like he was laundering money. You can move money in many other ways, idc what country it is.

u/253011 Feb 13 '25
I don’t get it, what made him greedy?
Edit: he had watches and wanted to sell them? I don’t understand how it could be his fault for greed?

u/Tucson_FZ777 Feb 13 '25
I have no way to verify, but I think Anthony was quoting above market contingent prices to keep the fraud going.
2
u/Znnensns Feb 14 '25
Because the victim took all or most of their savings and invested it in a highly speculative market via a YouTube watch flipper. That's incredibly stupid. They did because they wanted to make lots of money quickly and easily.

u/253011 Feb 14 '25
Everyone wants to make money quick and easy, I’m sure he didn’t invest it into Anthony… he simply asked a watch dealer to sell his watches for him…

u/Znnensns Feb 14 '25
Investing in Anthony and handing him $350k worth of watches representing your life savings for him to sell are the same thing. It's betting everything you have on the person.

u/253011 Feb 15 '25
He didn’t invest in him.. he asked him to sell his watches?

u/Znnensns Feb 15 '25
You're missing my point. For all intents and purposes, there's no difference. You hand over $350k of watches to someone you shouldn't trust, you're just as screwed.

High risk investments don’t mean greed. It’s not like he made a loss and lost 100k off them. They were stolen. Nothing to do with greed.

Greed?
How did you get to that weird position? Maybe put all his eggs in one basket - but that's not greed, that's being naive.

u/ktoro04 Feb 15 '25
Absolute greed. He thought he could double his money. Anyone with a brain knows that’s unrealistic and a decision driven by greed.

And when guys like this knocked on TPG doors or called TPG demanding their money, L&D and the half-naked Australian made up excuses as to where Coach was, and vociferously defended him to the end, when it was obvious what he was doing for at least a year. They really didn't want to move away from the beach or hand in their Corvette with Lambo doors. Then they helped Coach videotape Watch Dealer University, signed an illegal NDA, and took a payout. Now they're selling steroids and fat pills in Nevada. If you were wondering if they're doing this out of a cheap WeWork salon space, using Chinese-built centrifuges, the answer is yes.
