00:00:00.000 So tell us the story. Who is he? Who is George? Who are all the people involved in that conversation?
00:00:05.800 Yeah, they are, you know, they're just the sneakiest people you could ever imagine, right?
00:00:12.600 I moved into this exchange in 2018, and I signed with these landlords this Baharian family that the father or the uncle or whoever, you know, there used to be a bank there.
00:00:27.480 They bought the bank, they renovated it into a beautiful exchange, and the family renovated them.
00:00:33.940 I know the family for years, for like 20 years, 10 years before whatever, and I'm like, all right, cool.
00:00:40.760 I signed a lease. 2018, I move in. You know, I start doing social media. I start getting popular, and I fill up the exchange with great neighbors and everything like that.
00:00:50.820 But COVID comes around, and this family, I don't know if they're Turkish or Syrian Turkish, they're Christian or whatever.
00:00:58.260 Not that that matters at all, but that's just people are curious about shit like that.
00:01:02.840 And lo and behold, unbeknownst to anybody, they buy 50% of this exchange.
00:01:09.780 The exchange or the building?
00:01:11.120 The exchange.
00:01:12.120 Okay.
00:01:12.480 Yeah, the building is a co-op. Other owners, you know, in the Diamond District, three years have been buying over there.
00:01:17.240 All sorts of characters with their stupid business, you know, mentalities and schemes constantly, some bullshit.
00:01:24.640 Always a problem.
00:01:26.540 But whatever, it's manageable.
00:01:28.340 And they buy into this exchange because, you know, I'm there, right?
00:01:34.560 And I'm bringing in good, solid tenants, and I'm bringing in clients steadily.
00:01:39.820 But when they buy in, as landlords, so to speak, they're really ownership partners, not landlords.
00:01:47.400 But then they sneak down into the booth across from mine, and they never say that they're partners or that they bought into the exchange.
00:01:55.460 They just say they're renting a booth.
00:01:56.640 So I meet them, I say hello, and I start, like, you know, treating them like everybody else.
00:02:03.080 And I see something's wrong.
00:02:05.740 The father, you know, I ask him to, you know, we're neighbors in an exchange, in a jewelry exchange.
00:02:10.900 I got the windows, and you guys got this booth.
00:02:13.660 And I go to this father, and I'm like, yo, these are old school chains.
00:02:17.960 I could sell them.
00:02:18.740 I could do an ad right now, do a commercial.
00:02:21.040 And he's like, whoa, whoa.
00:02:22.660 He looks at me like I'm some bum, you know, like asking for some shit.
00:02:26.660 That was five years ago.
00:02:27.340 Yeah.
00:02:27.820 And I'm, like, looking at him, I'm like, what's wrong with this guy?
00:02:31.540 You know, what is he talking to me like that for?
00:02:34.080 Then the son is trying to, he's trying to lie to me, sneak a little lie.
00:02:38.360 No, this, that, this, that.
00:02:40.440 And I'm like, I'm seeing that these people are just doing dirty things.
00:02:43.140 I'm like, what is wrong with these people?
00:02:44.460 And I just start to ignore them.
00:02:45.960 I don't give a shit about them.
00:02:47.900 Then, a client, you know, takes a picture, and then he tags their business.
00:02:54.480 This is, again, five years ago.
00:02:56.520 Tags their, I mean, tags my business with his picture.
00:03:00.820 It says Tracks YC.
00:03:02.000 With the very same picture of that dumb bastard you just had in the thumbnail or whatever.
00:03:05.840 George, a guy.
00:03:07.620 And I come up to him.
00:03:09.320 And I have him.
00:03:10.080 And I take my phone.
00:03:11.720 And I show him my phone.
00:03:13.260 And I'm like, yo, why is your picture, what is this?
00:03:16.080 He grabs the phone out of my hand.
00:03:18.700 This is five years ago.
00:03:20.120 And he's like, and he's holding it like this.
00:03:22.660 He's like, no.
00:03:24.580 I'm like, did you just fucking grab my phone?
00:03:27.680 This is five years ago.
00:03:28.440 Yeah.
00:03:28.680 So you guys have had a feud for years.
00:03:30.340 Yeah, yeah.
00:03:30.780 No, I was, listen, listen.
00:03:31.940 He grabs my phone out of my hand, and he's holding it like this, like I'm a child, like
00:03:37.860 you can't have this.
00:03:39.240 It's mine.
00:03:39.820 I snatched it.
00:03:41.820 I'm like, yo, bro, do you know what you're doing right now?
00:03:46.700 So then I start to beef with them, and I start to warn them.
00:03:49.740 I'm like, yo, I'm not the one to play with, bro.
00:03:52.080 And in person.
00:03:53.080 And then it turns out that they reveal that they bought in.
00:03:57.320 Then they're feuding with the actual landlords.
00:03:59.380 Then they're bringing in their own super.
00:04:01.860 Then they're firing a security guard.
00:04:03.580 Then they want to close the shop this way.
00:04:07.220 They want to close the shop when they leave, not when I close at seven.
00:04:10.940 They want to leave at six.
00:04:12.100 They want to close the whole shop.
00:04:13.160 I'm like, yo, get the fuck out of here, man.
00:04:15.280 I didn't sign my lease with you.
00:04:17.860 I don't know who you are.
00:04:19.380 I don't accept you as the landlord coming downstairs and pretending to be another tenant, you know,
00:04:26.800 doing some sneaky garbage.
00:04:28.360 I'm not here for it.
00:04:29.460 I don't accept it.
00:04:30.520 I don't need it.
00:04:31.300 And I warned them.
00:04:32.720 And I warned them.
00:04:33.800 And I warned them.
00:04:34.520 And I warned them.
00:04:35.080 Don't do it.
00:04:35.740 Don't say your tracks in my seat.
00:04:37.300 Don't do this.
00:04:37.820 Don't do that.
00:04:38.620 He feels like he, you know, they felt like they bought in.
00:04:41.860 And now they own me.
00:04:42.800 They could say their tracks.
00:04:44.040 They could say this.
00:04:45.060 It's like I could come in here and I could say I'm Valuetainment.
00:04:48.160 And I could take your shit.
00:04:49.740 And I could, you know, tomorrow say I'm PBD podcast.
00:04:52.340 And just because I'm here, I'm there, just doing extra shit for no fucking reason.
00:04:56.940 So whatever.
00:04:58.820 But you know what?
00:04:59.360 I'm trying to market my business.
00:05:00.800 I'm trying to keep the peace.
00:05:01.840 I'm trying to do whatever I'm supposed to be doing.
00:05:03.760 And that's it.
00:05:04.920 New Year's Eve rolls around.
00:05:07.440 I'm happy.
00:05:08.360 I closed out my record year.
00:05:10.280 Yeah.
00:05:11.300 I sold 5 million in December.
00:05:14.680 December alone.
00:05:15.500 Yeah.
00:05:15.700 December alone.
00:05:16.560 5 million.
00:05:17.200 You know, we're doing 40 million a year.
00:05:18.980 Whatever.
00:05:19.360 I don't even know what it is anymore.
00:05:20.920 I did my record December, record margins and volume and so on and so forth.
00:05:27.960 I'm happy.
00:05:28.800 I have my team.
00:05:29.640 I have all my ducks in a row.
00:05:31.100 I don't have any bullshit going on.
00:05:32.700 And then somebody comes up.
00:05:34.260 One of my members of my staff comes up to me.
00:05:36.000 He's like, Max, a customer's looking for you.
00:05:38.280 There's 14K, 10K, and this happened and that happened.
00:05:42.680 I'm like, what's going on?
00:05:45.340 And then I go downstairs and the customer's there, desperate and sad on New Year's Eve.
00:05:51.280 And he's like, I bought this.
00:05:52.780 This guy said he's you.
00:05:54.060 I'm like, I can't take this shit anymore.
00:05:57.700 I'm just about to get into it.
00:05:58.800 I'm not waiting New Year's Eve.
00:06:00.180 This is New Year's Eve?
00:06:01.460 Yeah.
00:06:01.740 I'm not watching the ball drop and thinking I can't wait till Monday to confront them.
00:06:08.600 I'm like, you know what, man?
00:06:10.820 We come downstairs.
00:06:11.940 I go inside their booth.
00:06:14.120 All right?
00:06:14.360 Since they're saying they're me, I must be them.
00:06:17.500 I go inside their fucking booth.
00:06:19.620 I give him his $22,000.
00:06:21.360 He spent $21,000.
00:06:22.860 I give him $22,000.
00:06:24.000 I say, you're made whole.
00:06:25.720 That's it.
00:06:27.100 You know, he's finally happy.
00:06:28.480 He's relieved.
00:06:29.000 Because he's not, you know what I'm saying?
00:06:30.380 He's a regular dude.
00:06:31.420 I don't know where he got the money.
00:06:32.880 But he's just a regular guy.
00:06:34.660 But, you know, these regular people that make money or get money somehow, they trust me.
00:06:39.420 They believe in me.
00:06:40.580 So they're looking for me.
00:06:42.340 This fucking dickhead says to him, he shows him a picture, tracks him.
00:06:48.360 I see jewelry.
00:06:49.480 He's like, oh, I'm out of stock.
00:06:51.180 I'm going to order this later.
00:06:52.740 But I have this for you now.
00:06:54.040 And he tricks him.
00:06:56.140 And he does this nasty, sneaky shit that I warned him not to do five years ago.
00:07:01.080 So I get behind the counter and I go to war.
00:07:03.360 This is the clip.
00:07:04.060 The first one that we showed.
00:07:05.360 Yeah, the first one is the one where I'm right here.
00:07:07.960 But what I'm saying is when you went to war, that's what you're talking about.
00:07:11.060 Yeah, this is after I fucking trashed their, you know, their scales and all their other shit.
00:07:15.700 This right here.
00:07:16.640 Rob, you want to play this?
00:07:17.960 This is, yeah, this is where I'm with the customer.
00:07:20.220 The receipt from this disgusting company that pretends to be me, says they're tracks in my seat,
00:07:26.280 sells my customer a bracelet, rips them off and rips them off on the gold.
00:07:31.220 Shit, they're saying it's 14 karat gold.
00:07:33.280 Well, we're going to test this bracelet right now.
00:07:36.900 Start the test.
00:07:39.000 10 karat gold.
00:07:40.440 So did they say they were tracks in my seat?
00:07:42.320 Yeah, he tried to portray, he tried to sell one of your products.
00:07:50.660 He said that he ran out one of your rents.
00:07:53.240 Came up with a scheme.
00:07:54.640 Right, that you, so that we sell.
00:07:56.580 So you came with a picture of tracks in my seat?
00:07:59.060 Yep.
00:07:59.780 Opened up the website for...
00:08:01.620 And then he said he ran out, even though he has nothing to fucking do with me, other
00:08:06.480 than to steal my fucking customers all day long.
00:08:09.580 These rats have done this over and over and over.
00:08:12.160 Okay.
00:08:12.580 So that's the customer.

00:08:15.740 $22,000.
00:08:16.840 You go up to him.
00:08:18.320 You guys have that issue.
00:08:20.700 Then you leave.
00:08:21.960 What happens next?
00:08:23.120 Right.
00:08:23.420 Well, before this, you could go to the next clip.
00:08:26.040 You just go to the next one.
00:08:26.840 I think it's this one when I made him whole, and that's me fucking their shit up over there.
00:08:31.540 I just had enough.
00:08:32.640 Oh, I haven't seen this.
00:08:33.300 Yeah, this is the one.
00:08:34.320 So where is George?
00:08:36.020 Are you in a room where George is also in this room?
00:08:38.080 Not at this.
00:08:39.000 George is enjoying his New Year's Eve with his dumbass family somewhere.
00:08:43.240 Press play, Rob.
00:08:44.620 So not only did these fucking pieces of shit...
00:08:47.500 This is what started it.
00:08:48.360 Okay.
00:08:50.120 Rip you off on this fucking thing.
00:08:52.120 It turned out to be nine parat gold, right?

00:08:55.960 Yes.
00:08:56.240 So they're going to be giving you $1,000 on top.

00:09:25.900 Yeah, it was a surprise.
00:09:27.680 What time is this exactly?
00:09:28.820 Starry-eyed surprise for these motherfuckers.
00:09:31.160 End of the day on New Year's Eve.
00:09:32.900 But what time?

00:09:35.500 So this is 4 p.m.
00:09:36.380 And customers are around.
00:09:37.700 Yeah.
00:09:38.100 Now, can you pause it real quick?
00:09:39.480 Yeah.
00:09:39.680 Where is your shop?
00:09:41.180 Right across from where I'm standing.
00:09:42.960 So this way?
00:09:44.320 Yeah.
00:09:44.980 Right across.
00:09:45.860 The windows are...
00:09:46.960 Just like where the booth is facing, I'm looking at my shop.
00:09:49.960 So all day you guys are seeing each other?
00:09:52.300 I don't see them because I don't sit in my shop.
00:09:54.900 I have a mezzanine and I do my shit.
00:09:56.740 I have a team that runs my store.
00:09:58.260 Downstairs.
00:09:58.680 You're upstairs.
00:09:59.440 Yeah.
00:09:59.600 I'm upstairs.
00:10:00.380 I'm running around.
00:10:01.180 I'm doing shit.
00:10:01.820 You know?
00:10:02.600 And I have a team.
00:10:03.500 But I see them as I'm walking in, walking out, walking in, walking out.
00:10:07.500 But, you know, and I don't really sit in my shop for that particular reason.
00:10:11.060 I don't want to see these disgusting brothers and their scheming ways.
00:10:17.120 I just don't want to be around it, man.
00:10:18.840 I'm very fickle when it comes to shit like that.
00:10:20.980 You know what I'm saying?
00:10:21.460 If I don't like a person, I just don't want to...
00:10:23.220 I don't have it in me because I'll lose it.
00:10:25.600 You know?
00:10:26.060 I don't have it in me.
00:10:26.760 Okay.
00:10:27.120 So, they see this clip.
00:10:29.540 This is end of day, 4, 5 o'clock.
00:10:31.760 Yeah.
00:10:32.100 Okay.
00:10:32.740 New Year's Eve, December 31st.
00:10:34.840 Yeah.
00:10:35.020 What happens next?
00:10:36.060 Do they call you?
00:10:37.000 They don't call me.
00:10:38.000 They start trying to call the cops.
00:10:40.180 You know what I'm saying?
00:10:40.940 They start trying to do this.
00:10:42.120 They start trying to do that.
00:10:43.420 You know?
00:10:43.660 The police show up and they realize it's a civil matter because I'm refunding a person.
00:10:49.460 It's an impersonation.
00:10:50.920 When the cops come, NYPD, you know, my staff tells them,
00:10:55.060 hey, we had to make this customer whole, $22,000, this, that, this, that.
00:10:59.020 It's not just a clear-cut situation.
00:11:01.460 So, the NYPD leave.
00:11:04.600 They show up the next day.
00:11:07.180 But, you know, the heat is already on from this video.
00:11:09.360 And they're thinking, you know, like, let's talk like gentlemen, he says, so to speak.
00:11:15.700 Right?
00:11:16.000 Because he knows that the heat is on on this shit.
00:11:18.840 So, on January 2nd, I pop out and then you see the events, you know, he's sitting in his booth, George.
00:11:25.740 Okay.
00:11:26.160 So, that's two days later.
00:11:27.440 Yeah.
00:11:28.040 And then this is the one you pull up to him.
00:11:30.480 Yeah.
00:11:30.820 Which we already played.
00:11:32.180 So, got it.
00:11:33.680 And he's surprised.
00:11:34.540 He's not seeing you coming in.
00:11:36.220 So, by the way, pause right there.
00:11:37.740 Are you on that site?
00:11:39.280 Yeah, that's Trax and MyC.
00:11:40.420 Oh, I see it.
00:11:40.960 I see it right behind it.
00:11:41.780 Okay, now I get it.
00:11:42.480 That's my booth.
00:11:42.980 You guys are literally right next to each other.
00:11:45.280 He moved in there to fucking steal customers for years.
00:11:48.380 That's what the fuck he did.
00:11:49.600 They saw I was a successful guy.
00:11:51.580 And, like, vultures, like parasites, man.
00:11:54.520 Like, parasites.
00:11:55.400 They moved down there.
00:11:56.540 At first, they didn't even put their name on their booth so they could just say they're Trax and MyC.
00:12:02.480 You know what I'm saying?
00:12:03.080 They're sick.
00:12:04.920 Sick people, bro.
00:12:06.020 They're not regular people.
00:12:07.480 They don't buy a cup of coffee over there, bro.
00:12:10.120 They don't do nothing.
00:12:11.520 They're cheap as hell.
00:12:13.600 You know?
00:12:13.900 Where are they from?
00:12:15.320 You said they're Turkish Christians?
00:12:16.320 Turkish.
00:12:16.920 I heard Syria.
00:12:17.940 I heard Turkey.
00:12:18.740 I heard this.
00:12:19.360 I heard that.
00:12:20.280 You know what I'm saying?
00:12:20.860 Listen, these are all lines on a map.
00:12:22.460 I've met so many amazing Turkish people.
00:12:25.340 I've never, ever, ever seen anybody like this.
00:12:30.200 Okay.
00:12:30.720 So then, what does it say, Rob?
00:12:32.760 Where they're from?
00:12:33.540 Does it say anything or no?
00:12:34.860 I'm looking right now.
00:12:36.120 Yeah.
00:12:36.400 So after that clip, after that clip, that's when...
00:12:41.200 Just sitting there, trying to steal customers from me, and then lying.
00:12:46.840 No!
00:12:48.520 Just that bold-faced lying shit.
00:12:51.000 No, I didn't do it.
00:12:52.380 What?
00:12:53.240 You know, I'm like, yo, you fucking retards.
00:12:55.080 I had enough of that shit in the diamond district.
00:12:57.180 Tell me one bold-faced lie to my face that you didn't do this and you didn't do that.
00:13:01.880 That's what you're going to get from me every fucking time.
00:13:03.960 So now, go back to the last clip.
00:13:05.500 And the last clip is when it's tipping point.
00:13:07.920 That's it.
00:13:08.660 That's when I already hit them, and I posted this video, and then I come back to them.
00:13:12.840 They're already closing the exchange.
00:13:15.800 They're lowering the gates like dumbasses.
00:13:17.960 This is what, January 2nd?
00:13:19.360 Yeah, this is January 2nd.
00:13:20.560 But this is after the spit.
00:13:22.520 This is Freddie trying to strangle me.
00:13:24.900 You can't really see it here, but the guy who has his hand, one hand on my shoulder.
00:13:29.200 The black sweater.
00:13:29.800 The other hand he has on a chain like this, and he's twisting it and strangling me with it.
00:13:36.740 Rob, go on the Instagram account to show the full clip.
00:13:40.560 Bullshit.
00:13:41.400 So he's trying to strangle you.
00:13:43.040 Yeah.
00:13:46.160 I think you were just on at the second one.
00:13:47.820 Yeah, it's the third one.
00:13:48.900 Third one?
00:13:49.340 Yeah, right there.
00:13:50.220 No, no, no.
00:13:50.660 My bad.
00:13:51.200 Previous one, Rob.
00:13:51.860 Yeah.
00:13:52.640 This one.
00:13:53.060 Right there.
00:13:53.160 Yeah.
00:13:57.360 Don't fucking attack.
00:13:58.600 Right.
00:13:58.800 Who was that guy?
00:14:00.360 Who was the guy in the black sweater?
00:14:00.700 That's his brother.
00:14:02.340 That's his brother.
00:14:03.640 George and Freddie.
00:14:05.680 The two brothers.
00:14:07.480 You know what I'm saying?
00:14:08.140 He put his hand on my neck right away after his brother spit on me.
00:14:11.660 Who's there with you?
00:14:12.860 My staff came to rescue me.
00:14:15.500 Strangled me with my own chain.
00:14:18.500 I'm ready to get out of this hospital.
00:14:20.220 TraxNYC.com.
00:14:22.060 I love how at the end you just had to put TraxNYC.com.
00:14:26.300 You're just nonstop with it.
00:14:28.040 Why not?
00:14:28.460 No, I respect it.
00:14:30.980 And then the last thing is the clip that we saw of everybody walking out, being arrested,
00:14:36.180 handcuffed.
00:14:36.740 But you weren't handcuffed.
00:14:37.840 So why were you not handcuffed?
00:14:40.440 And is this the one, Rob?
00:14:41.420 Yep.
00:14:41.640 Yeah, go ahead and play this.
00:14:43.400 Well, because the NYPD decided that spitting and strangling, you know, they're looking for
00:14:51.560 bruises, the NYPD.
00:14:53.760 Okay?
00:14:54.140 And that's you.
00:14:54.640 You know what I'm saying?
00:14:55.560 Yeah.
00:14:55.740 You know, if you were assaulted and you want to catch an assault charge, you put a bruise
00:14:59.900 on somebody, that's an assault.
00:15:02.260 That's what they told me.
00:15:03.260 Okay?
00:15:04.080 If you have markings that they could photograph so they could, you know, prosecute a case
00:15:08.860 to the judge.
00:15:09.760 Because if you say I assaulted you, you assaulted me and you have no markings, it's a hearsay
00:15:14.000 type bullshit.
00:15:15.160 You know, but if you have markings and they could have pictures of those markings, they
00:15:19.300 could prosecute an assault charge.
00:15:20.780 So that's what they look for.
00:15:21.700 And I'm the only one who had markings because I got beat the shit out of by everybody.
00:15:28.180 How many of their guys jumped you?
00:15:29.580 What was their total?
00:15:30.780 I mean, it was the father.
00:15:33.800 The father is George?
00:15:35.220 No, the father is the older man.
00:15:38.600 The father of George.
00:15:39.680 I know George and Freddie look like they're 80 years old.
00:15:42.600 But they have a father that's, you know, he's standing like right next to whatever.
00:15:48.120 That's, these are the two brothers.
00:15:50.740 George and Freddie.
00:15:52.280 Okay?
00:15:52.580 And the third brother.
00:15:53.300 And then they have this hit man over there with the other white hair, whoever the fuck
00:15:56.760 he is.
00:15:58.040 Is the father in this picture or no?
00:15:59.680 Yeah, he was in there somewhere.
00:16:01.000 Yeah, there's the father right there standing in front.
00:16:03.520 You know what I'm saying?
00:16:04.120 And he was doing some kicking and some fucking screaming.
00:16:06.760 The dad was kicking.
00:16:07.660 Yeah, the dad, all I saw is, you know, everybody's coming.
00:16:09.920 I saw the dad just like his foot coming out.
00:16:12.600 And then, you know, this idiot threw a scale at my head as well.
00:16:15.760 And I hit one of my employees.
00:16:17.620 It's, you know, we're getting the surveillance footage.
00:16:19.960 You know what I'm saying?
00:16:20.460 There's Marcus, my team member.
00:16:22.480 The other father's over there somewhere.
00:16:23.920 So they're trying to break it up.
00:16:25.300 My staff come take it up.
00:16:26.420 But, you know, I can't breathe.
00:16:27.920 All I could do is pull back on the chain to try to breathe as this fucking idiot is pulling
00:16:33.540 on my chain over a refund and all this and all that.
00:16:37.320 Listen, man, it's all a bunch of bullshit.
00:16:39.640 These people, you know, all we just is just this whole saga is an example of blind greed.
00:16:48.860 You know, money is my God.
00:16:51.500 This is what you're looking at.
00:16:52.860 OK, I have money.
00:16:54.540 That's what they came up to me.
00:16:55.820 This fucking dumbass.
00:16:57.100 When I was arguing, you know, years ago with this fucking idiot, Freddie, in the middle
00:17:02.980 of the argument, he you know, I'm talking to him and he shows his watch.
00:17:09.600 He's got a gold sky dweller on.
00:17:11.160 He's like, you know how many of these I have?
00:17:13.080 I'm like, what the fuck difference does that make that you have to say, I have this so
00:17:19.720 you could say you're what more important than me because you have more sky dwellers because
00:17:23.920 I don't have enough sky dwellers in my showcase.
00:17:25.980 You have more.
00:17:26.740 That means you're greater.
00:17:27.940 What is your logic, bro?
00:17:29.620 They're all about, you know, I have money.
00:17:31.500 I have money.
00:17:32.200 These are just the lowest, biggest losers that without the dollar sign, they have nothing.
00:17:38.140 They have no ability to communicate.
00:17:40.220 They have no social skills, no personal skills.
00:17:43.520 All they have is a dollar to go.
00:17:45.400 I have more money.
00:17:46.980 And it's just disgusting.
00:17:48.260 People like that are disgusting.
00:17:49.560 Now, let me ask you this.
00:17:50.280 This event that took place, are they in jail?
00:17:52.880 Are they out?
00:17:53.500 They got out.
00:17:54.540 They got criminal charges, the two brothers, assault charges.
00:17:59.380 But I called the prosecutor and the DAO.
00:18:01.160 I'm not here to be strangled.
00:18:02.420 It's still a little hard to swallow over here, bro.
00:18:04.180 So I'm not here to be strangled like a misdemeanor.
00:18:08.320 You know what I'm saying?
00:18:09.240 I never strangled anybody with a chain.
00:18:12.680 You know, I had markings all.
00:18:13.920 I don't bruise easily, dude.
00:18:15.860 I had markings all around my neck, man.
00:18:20.920 And, you know, like it should be strangled and pulled on like this.
00:18:25.480 And just I'm just I'm just thinking, all right, I know my staff is going to come through.
00:18:29.320 I got some serious guys on my team that they're not going to play around.
00:18:33.120 And they come and they rescue me.
00:18:35.200 And, you know, and then they start fighting, brawling over there as well.
00:18:38.440 They lost it.
00:18:39.380 They lost it.
00:18:39.960 They got exposed.
00:18:41.380 How many businesses are in there?
00:18:43.800 Maybe like 10, I think.
00:18:45.540 So what are the other guys saying about it?
00:18:47.360 Do they know about the feud between the two of you?
00:18:49.580 The other guys all hate them, but they try to kind of, you know, use them as a counterbalance towards me.
00:18:56.420 But they know that's, you know, because they don't want their rent raised.
00:18:59.920 So they're like, hey, hey, you know, I'll be on your side.
00:19:03.240 You know, you're the partners in the year.
00:19:05.640 The rent, they're all playing a game.
00:19:07.260 You know, people want to keep the rent low.
00:19:09.440 They want to be able to, you know, I pay for the windows.
00:19:12.260 The windows are, you know, all together like 40 grand plus.
00:19:17.860 A month.
00:19:18.260 Yeah.
00:19:19.100 Okay.
00:19:19.820 I'm paying for the windows and I'm bringing customers from around the world.
00:19:23.700 All right.
00:19:24.240 And if you're paying for a booth that's four or five grand a month per day, that's nothing.
00:19:29.500 Okay.
00:19:29.760 You sell a watch a day from some spillover customer of mine.
00:19:33.280 You're in the profit.
00:19:34.180 You're good.
00:19:34.780 So their business is to, for me to fill the exchange, pay for the windows and, you know, get a little something.
00:19:41.180 So they're playing, they're playing, but they don't give a shit about them.
00:19:44.100 The, you know, the Baharian landlords are good people and they're easy to do business with.
00:19:50.360 They're normal to do business with.
00:19:52.240 So Baharian or the Armenian or the Baharian, Baharian, Jewish, Baharian, Jewish family, Jewish, Baharian family.
00:19:58.020 And that's fine.
00:19:58.740 And we do it and we pay the rent and we all get along and we all say hello in the morning and we say goodbye.
00:20:04.540 And I take a ring over here and I take it over there and I bring a customer here and we all work as one normal community.
00:20:10.880 It's only those motherfuckers in the middle, uh, that fucked it all up.
00:20:16.260 I was doing events in there.
00:20:17.660 I was doing there.
00:20:18.460 No, no vision, no talent.
00:20:22.380 No, nothing.
00:20:23.400 Just let me steal and let me sneak.
00:20:25.780 How much longer are you going to stay in there?
00:20:26.900 They deserve everything.
00:20:27.840 You're going to fucking get those motherfuckers, huh?
00:20:29.460 How much longer are you going to stay in there?
00:20:31.020 I'm going to stay in there indefinitely, you know, because I like that place.
00:20:34.620 I like doing business.
00:20:35.460 I have the mezzanine in there as well.
00:20:37.800 I'm better off in my own space.
00:20:39.620 Um, but I like community.
00:20:42.560 You know what I'm saying?
00:20:43.340 I'm better off in my own space.
00:20:44.580 I got to buy my own building, but I like the community so far.
00:20:48.400 So I'm just doing it like that.
00:20:50.180 And, and that's it.
00:20:51.340 It's an exchange.
00:20:52.100 You could come, you could take a look.
00:20:53.520 You could, you don't like mine, but don't say you're me.
00:20:56.080 I know the temptation is there when the customer is there going, are you tracks?
00:21:00.200 Yeah, I'm tracks.
00:21:01.860 You're not tracks, man.
00:21:03.460 Don't say you're fucking me.
00:21:05.960 You greedy, retarded bastards, bro.
00:21:08.260 And you think you're going to get away with it.
00:21:09.820 And there was other sneaky bastards, you know, doing sneaky shit, but I let it slide.
00:21:14.140 I let them correct their ways.
00:21:15.620 I don't want to destroy their business.
00:21:17.720 You know what I'm saying?
00:21:18.220 Because then they're going to hurt and then they're going to cry, you know?
00:21:21.800 So I rather sit here and, you know, take, lose a little bite, then cut them into two,
00:21:27.540 into pieces.
00:21:28.420 And I do that to some of the people, the bribes, and they know who they are.
00:21:33.000 The slobs coming up with a bribe, laughing, thinking you're smart.
00:21:36.480 You're not smarter than me, bro.
00:21:37.900 I see what you're doing.
00:21:39.620 You fucking, whatever.
00:21:42.020 Yo, it's tracks, NYC.
00:21:43.360 If you want to know secrets of the universe, the jewelry business, gold, or what to do,
00:21:48.680 it's Manect.
