Start a poll. Will this end with civil suits or with a criminal investigation? This mea culpa seems like a move to buy time and review options on how to get out of this mess rather than making people whole.

Anthony farrer
There was a topic somewhere here on TRF
after he made the famous trick while he was on TimepieceGentleman team, the internet was on fire and you can tell from them it was all fishy, looks like some folks never learned and still gave him watches to sell …. Easier to read format. It comes with a heavy heart to have to send this message, but I can no longer live behind the lies and my mistakes. This is a mass text message to each person involved and it is not an easy message to send nor will it be an easy message for you to read. I wanted to reach out to you first and explain the situation before you read about it online or on social media. You may or may not be aware that, several months ago, I lost my Richard Mille due to being out at a bar, drinking and acting careless. What you would not have known is that that one watch was not the only one lost. My bag that I misplaced contained about $2 million in inventory. Majority of which was on consignment with clients like you. I kept this hidden because I thought I could dig myself out of this whole. Up until now, I wasn’t aware that I was the problem. Over the last year I’ve let my demons get the best of me. I am an alcoholic. I have a gambling problem. I have a spending problem. I let a little success and a little money go to my head. I think I’m invisible and the rules don’t apply to me. I would not listen to people when they tried to help me. I think I know everything. Over the last 24 hours I’ve finally realized I was wrong. I’m my own worst enemy and I need help. I have betrayed your trust and I owe you money. I have never been willing to reach out and ask for help and that is what got me to the situation I’m facing today. I understand the feelings or thoughts that may be going through your head right now and the only thing I have to say is I sincerely apologize for doing what I did. When I made that mistake, I did not admit it and I kept trying to cover it up by selling more inventory to pay people slowly. Today I finally realize I’m only creating a bigger hole. Until I put a stop to it and admit my fault, it’s just going to get worse. Today I want to admit to you that I owe you money for a piece or more you have had on consignment with me, but at this current moment, I do not have the money to repay it. I am not going to run and hide like a coward. I am not going to file bankruptcy and screw anyone over. I will pay you in full what I owe. If I could ask for one favor, that would be to give me time to call each and everyone of you and talk to you personally before making any decisions or putting this message or situation out online. I understand everyone is going to immediately want to call me and get answers or a quick resolution. Please give me time to reach out to you and start the process of fixing the mess I’m in. Again, I apologize. Sincerely, from the bottom of my heart and understand this has ruined all trust you had in me. I will call you and we can talk and I will do my best to fix this. My first step in starting is clearing my head and I’m on my way to an AA meeting for the next couple hours. Please give me time to reach out to you |

Interesting question^^ Now will the "robbery" at his rental home come back up and be reinvestigated? Was that a scam also? So many layers.

There are some good deals in the groups, too. Typically, the prices are as good or better than anywhere else I look online. |

Agreed. His initial content was fun to watch. Then it just became ridiculous. Marco was smart to break off and do his own thing. One seemed to truly enjoy the hobby the other saw it as a quick buck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

So... just another of MANY typical stories of yet another self-believed 'influencer' who 'hustled' his way to the eventual bottom. (yawn)
The Internet is littered with such stories of addicts, etc too. Nothing special at all. A cautionary tale for both <cough> 'influencers' </cough> and especially those who consider doing 'business' with such types even after the many obvious red flags. Hopefully TRF members learn from others' mistakes in dealing with such hustlers. The real question is, did anyone here on TRF ignore the obvious many red flags, and will you ensure justice is done so others are not harmed?

He is just buying time, seems more of the same old stuff. I like the part where he says please just let me call you before you do anything. SMH

If the you received the message alleged to be from Anthony, attach it to the Complaint. You can’t trust the word of a narcissist. |

Future income.... hurry as first come first served. We've already seen excuse after excuse quite a few times. Oh woe is me, the drama, not my fault.... Ok, you got me, it is my fault but...
Why wait? See what the judge says, they've surely seen this many, many times and can help with a proper solution. There's nothing special or out of the ordinary, so yes a judge has probably seen this many times and there's a solution.

seems to make the trusted sellers look like a solid option. buy your seller!
honestly its tragic, sad to see anyone with addiction issues self destruct. but flabbergasted at how many re-starts he has had. seems like anyone with some sort of intelligence, and integrity should be able to enter the trade and succeed.

If you should tell Anthony that he'd reply that such a lifestyle is below him as it will not allow him to lease 6 Lamborghinis and eat at Del Frisco every night. The guy isn't an addition tragedy story - he's an extreme narcissist and cautionary tale against delusions of grandeur.

I had the misfortune to look at Redit to see what was going on and tbf it does seem filled with rather immature men hiding behind non de plume's to say rather childish and extremely homophobic made up stuff..
