House in the foothills being raided by the feds today

[4Waters]

Imagine waiting 2 years to have that boat built and you finally get it then the gov takes it

That's why the government waited until today

I think Trump should give it to border patrol, mount some 50s and mini guns on it and run it up and down the Rio Grande

 

[Blue Oval]

So do these raids usually happen by surprise, or does the guilty party usually know this is coming down the pipe.

Watched the Feds roll in to our small town several years ago. Dirt bag running the bar across the street got in trouble. Watched all their cars pull up. Jumped out and put their wind breakers on and walked in to the bar, they escorted everybody out of the bar. It was pretty crazy to watch go down. Put a bar across the door and locked it down. Sat there for a year before they let the owner who got the bar back by default on the loan.

I always wondered how a shop like them could afford the whips and toys they had, the dollars to doughnuts did not make sense to my pea brain head.

Heck just google " Jong Min Rhee " they have a ton of cases against them.

When they bought that red Skater 438 that was on the near vertical tilt back at SCFW in 2021 I could not for the life of me figure out how the business I googled "Lusso Auto Spa" could produce the income required to support a boat like that. It always seems to take a bit of time, but it normally turns out that "too good to be true" is indeed "too good to be true". Wild times in the powerboat world between this, the Wachob situation, and others in the background that Dave has alluded to.

It’s pretty bitchin that we’re seeing the cocaine 80s days all over again.

Let’s gooooooo!!!

Well, they say Cocaine is back in a big way. It is the drug of choice now I am told for all ages

 

[RIVERBORN]

You can’t make that kind of money honestly.

Exactly. Most these guys are using other peoples money. Very very rarely get this rich without lying cheating or stealing. Mostly all 3. Also what’s “legal” isn’t always moral. See it in real estate and construction all the time.

I think there are plenty of people with big money floating around, but as others have said you wouldn't know. I have a couple customers who's net worths start with a B and you'd never know it, they are genuine and don't act above anyone else. Generally, when you see crazy spending happening rapidly is when I question the authenticity of the money being actually earned.

Well like I said. Very very few get that rich without lying cheating or stealing. Maybe the billionaires u know did it honestly. Dont know them. As far as flaunting it i agree, most are the get rich type.

 

[Willie B]

… Been around a couple of billionaires… did either dabble in cocaine…By rumor one yes …but truthfully, I have no idea…
… A while back I was around a younger person who may be dabbling in cocaine… The first thing I told them was if you think you’re going to snort for free by selling some …it may take you a while, but you will find out like everything else in life….nothing is for free.… Pretty expensive hobby

Oh it won’t be long now.. the guy that burned me, went to let’s call it a sister event paid zero.. bid on charity shit never picked it up or paid for it..

Just got a text tonight from a friend saying he tried to pay a sub 1k bill.. used four different credit cards and all four were declined.. Owes several other small to medium bills around town.. medium being in the 30k range.

I honestly wouldn’t have cared and hoped he would have figured out his shit and got back on top.. but when we finally got on the phone and he started screaming at me and the way that conversation went.

I’m gonna laugh when it all comes out online.

Fuck that hobbit and the horse he rode in on..

This is some 'Real Housewives of Lake Havasu' shit.

Reading this thread while I watch Tulsa Kings, ironically.

 

[RiverDave]

This is some 'Real Housewives of Lake Havasu' shit.

Some of this shit is absolutely insane..

Honestly I know a lot of big money guys.. none of them act this way. It’s the new big man on the spotlight syndrome where they will literally run the shit into the ground to be that guy for one more weekend.. it’s bizarre?

[Member: 71]

No bueno. Feds just found a pot of gold in the lil Lake Havasu.

 

[welldigger00]

Yeah, and here I’m all big timing about buying a hoopty ass 20 year old jeep. The money out there is truly un fathomable it would seem at times.

Sleeping in that jeep for a few days while your wife calms down will be much more comfortable than sleeping in behind bars for a few years.

Kind of like all the politicians turning 270+ starting salary into multimillions in a few years.

 

[77charger]

One of them outboards cost more than all my toys combined.

But I ain’t burning people and not worried about raids. Just makin the best of what I own.

 

[Sherpa]

So these boats ever been in the water at Havasu?
What business were they in?

What nationality is this guy?

 

[Desert Whaler]

The other day I was catching bass on a crankbait I bought for $1.50 when Kmart closed .
For kicks I tied on a fancy $20 Japanese model I had, . . . caught 1 fish on it, and put it away . . . my cheap ass didn't wanna lose it.
Talk about 'Levels'.

Interesting thread.

There is more than one pot of gold in LH.

I few days ago someone showed me a short on IG (from a realtor) in a garage with a silver center console, and some red cat the was near vertical on a trailer, and some other toys. I had not seen a trailer that steep of tilt, which is why i remember it. I just glanced at it, so didnt catch what brand of boats they were. I wonder if the video was of this place.

I had to look up what a Cullinan was. Apparently it is a large ugly SUV. LOL

The tilt is a skater I believe it is a 438.. the cc is a 50mti

 

[Singleton]

Based on the lawsuits i read online, this sounds like a version of OCM.
Wonder if that jerk is selling an online course via reels on how to become rich by stealing from the hard working.

Of all the things to go to prison over LOL

I’ve never driven a Rolls Royce, and when ever I see them out on the road I always wonder why someone would choose to put that image out there about themselves. I kinda see the vibe these things throw as “I have so much money and I really need you to know it”. I’m gonna assume that they are amazing to drive, I totally get driving a nice car because it’s a nice car to drive, I have an old S550 that I beat on like it owes me money, that things a runner, fucking amazing road car, fast, comfortable, I don’t like the image it projects but when I need to bang out some miles it’s rad. I always keep a “disposable luxury vehicle” around for utility.

Can someone bring me up to speed on the Rolls Royce thing, or is my above thought pretty spot on?

My Grandpa always said he'd never own a Rolls Royce because he likes to be the one driving and everyone that saw him would likely think he's some rich guy's poor Chauffeur

The ten figure net worth individuals I know are products of entrepreneurial genius by their dads, and their own wholly dedicated hard work since early twenties. It remains to be seen what Gen 3 does with that success.

By slang do you mean steal then resale, but have problems shipping to customers?

I can't be sure about part one. But i can be sure about part 2. All I know is, a promise to deliver goods for a specified amount was agreed upon. One party executed their portion of the contract. The other is in breech of the contract. As they took payment and have not delivered the promised product.

I agree for sure. There are a few Rolls and Bentley SUVs in the drop-off/pickup line at my kid's school. They stick out like a sore thumb. I dont see the need to display that status. I bet a Rover, BMW, or Benz drive damn near as nice.

I have two nice rides (I consider super nice) that I bought purely because I love em, they're wonderful cars that I get a lot of enjoyment driving. One is a '91, and the other is '21. With the '91, it's an if ya know, ya know type of ride. Most probably think it's just some old Porsche...

The '21 puts off something different for sure. I dont care for the attention in most situations, but the driving experience makes up for it. Fuck it.

Who knows, it's all relative I suppose.
