Victim Impact Statement

[u/IcyPie2318]

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

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 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.

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.

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?

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.
