Right? This is going to be a bit of a different video today and it's a shame I have to make it if you enjoy the videos I put out and you enjoy the information and due diligence that I collect, collate, and simplify then I urge you to watch to the end of this video and to help me out as well. Last night I was made aware of a major violation of privacy. Somebody out there is posting my personal information with the schools and colleges that I went to with a made-up fake story with absolutely no proof and that's just not cool. Now it's weird because I've never done anything to hurt this guy I've never made videos about him I've never said anything mean about him or called him out I've never said anything mean about his favorite company It's just sad he's targeting me for a bit more YouTube Fame I think it's for reasons like this that many AMC YouTubers stopped making videos in the space now I'm not going to leave on you I'm not going to bail I'm not gonna stop making YouTube videos because I really enjoy collating information and due diligence for you guys.

So I'm going to break down all of his videos and address each and every one of his points with genuine factual proof. But before I do that I need some help from you guys Now I'm not trying to incite a bullying or harassment campaign, but I do think a serious breach of privacy needs to be dealt with. so if you could all head over to his YouTube channel Marantz Rance and report his YouTube channel and his recent videos unveiling my personal information, schools and colleges for violating privacy laws, that would be much appreciated. It's a shame I even have to make this video because I did message him privately, happy to answer any questions he had about me or my previous situation, but he simply ignored the message.

Now in this video: I'm not going to swear at him I'm not going to be rude I'm not going to call him names I'm not going to go back and forth where we unveil each other's personal information and living situations I just want to present the facts. So the first thing he called me out for is deleting views which I'm very happy to admit I have indeed deleted views in the past, but there's a very important reason why I did that. So obviously what my channel is for is for collecting and collating due diligence and simplifying it in an easy to understand way as part of making videos on YouTube and not giving Financial advice you obviously can't say with 100 guarantee confidence a specific stock is going to hit a certain price on a certain day in my videos. I Try and remain emotionally detached and just present the facts I present that due diligence I present that information I present those news articles and I give my thoughts on them now.

in the past, there have been some instances where social media influencers have been on the wrong side of this. Financial Advice you may remember Atlas Trading and those eight guys that were sued for a hundred million dollars by the SEC for calling out specific stocks that they were guaranteeing would hit a specific price and selling way before that price ever occurred. So what I do on a regular basis is review my previous videos for when I've been too emotionally attached to AMC Sometimes instead of saying this is one potential Catalyst that could cause something to happen I say that this is 100 guaranteed to happen which isn't fair and it's not right and that's why I do review and go back in time and delete those videos where I've said incorrectly that something is 100 guaranteed to happen. It's not fair on you guys, it's not fair on me and it's not really in line with the rules.

No second accusation is that I've bought Subs in the past or that I have fake subscribers which I think is ironic because I actually have a significantly more dedicated real fan base than he does, proven by facts. So if you look at me: Thomas James Investing I've got 40 000 subs and I average 10 to 20 maybe 10 to 30 000 views per video. At the very bottom end, that's one quarter of all of my subscribers regularly tune in to watch every single video that I post with. Marantz he's got 8.5 000 subscribers and if you look at these videos, they get 500 to a thousand views of video.

So that means even on the top end, he's only got one eighth of his entire subscriber basis actually watching his videos. Again, if you look at comments, he gets around 30 comments a video maybe 40 which isn't bad. I get 300 to 400 which is 10 times the number of comments he gets. Do I have 10 times his subscriber base? No, actually I just have a more dedicated subscriber base, then watches more of my videos and leaves more comments.

So it's quite funny and ironic that He suggests I've bought subscribers when actually my subscribers are more dedicated than his. Now that also kind of leads me into my next point, which is what do I do as a full-time job and am I a paid off influencer. He said that he estimates I earn around 300 per month from YouTube. So let's head over into my analytics.

You can see on a monthly basis I get between 575 000 views and 442 000 sometimes even more like 637 000. Now in terms of subscribers, I'm still gaining 800, maybe 600, maybe 400 subscribers per month. You can see back in April and May I lost some subscribers I only gained a few subscribers and that kind of coincides with the lack of views I had at that time as well. Obviously, for whatever reason, my audience wasn't enjoying my content which is fair enough.

Now you may remember, back in the day, I used to be a full-time accountant. any money I earn on the side from YouTube went directly into to buying more AMC shares over time I decided to focus more on AMC so I could bring you more higher quality information. As a result, I quit my old job as an accountant to focus on YouTube full time. So that means the money I earned from YouTube goes towards paying my rent.

It pays my food bills, it pays my car, It pays for everything else that I have. and if I've got any money spare at the end of the month, it goes on more AMC shares. now Marantz is estimates of 300 per month for my YouTube is well, it's way off I earn more than that. But as I said, this money pays my rent, It pays my property, It pays my car, It pays my food bills and any spare money I have on the side goes towards buying more shares.

This is now how I make my living. This replaced my income from accounting so I could focus on making videos just for you guys. And as I said, if I have any spare money at the end of the month, if I get any donations or any new subscriptions or anything like that, it goes towards buying more shares. Malice also addresses absolute fantasy made-up baloney story of me working for or working with Apollo What Marantz has done is he's Googled RSM and Apollo in the same sentence.

He's picked the first article he saw and he said that as a result I must be working for Apollo with no facts and no due diligence. If he actually read this article, he'd see the RSM USA leadership team which I wasn't anywhere close to a leadership role nor was I based in the US met with Apollo. If this article had said that RSM employee Thomas James had been having serious meetings and schemes with Apollo about AMC then I'd agree. It looked very very fishy.

But actually the article says the RSM USA leadership team from the private Equity division met with Apollo Nowhere anywhere as my name mentioned. nowhere anywhere is audit mentioned. Nowhere anywhere is the United Kingdom mentioned either. You can see this article is talking about RSM in the USA and I've never worked for RSM in the USA I work in the UK because I live in the UK.

It also talks about the senior leadership team or senior leadership members of which I was never anywhere close to senior leadership. I was an assistant manager. Now you may think Tom that sounds quite senior. Maybe you're right up there, right? Well let me explain the breakdown of roles: RSM So at the top, you've got the CEO somebody like Adam Aaron if you will.

Underneath that, you've got the Chief Operating, Officer, the Chief Financial Officer the chief audit officer Chief accounting officer Chief technology officer Chief marketing officer, and everybody else. These two brackets here are the senior leadership team so just how far underneath that actually was I So underneath that, SLT or senior leadership team, you've got the partners, You've got directors, You've got senior managers, You've got managers, You've got me at my assistant manager role, you've got supervisors, and at the very bottom, you've got assistance. So actually I only made it three rungs off the very bottom. the company nowhere near to the senior leadership team.

This article is also talking about private equity and as a shock: I never worked in the private Equity Department I don't have any private Equity training whatsoever and therefore I can't possibly have ever worked with Apollo In companies you have lots of different roles and different divisions, You've got the marketing team, you've got the payroll team, you've got the HR team, you've got the sales team, you've got the audit team, the accounting team, the private Equity team, the tax team, and everybody else. So I'm in a different office in a different country in a different role and I have no connection whatsoever to Apollo. This is all in all, unfortunately the most brain dead accusation I've ever heard. I think somebody even five years old or younger has more intellect than Marantz rats I might as well Google Microsoft and Tesla in the same sentence and say haha Elon Musk is sleeping with the marketing girl from Microsoft in India Elon on musk I've caught you I know what you're doing when obviously anyone with a single brain cell would know there is absolutely no evidence of Elon Musk sleeping with the marketing girl from Microsoft in India Let's make this even more simple and take a completely different example: with two made up people, you've got John and you've got Jin John works for Walmart in Texas he Stacks the meat and veg Isle he turns up at 6am every day for his hard, laborious shift working Walmart in Texas in the heat doesn't travel much, doesn't get out much, just goes to his job.

Now on the other hand, you've got Jim Jim works at Walmart in New York thousands of miles away he works in the marketing team. He works late nights, not early mornings. but Jim's committed a murder now. How ridiculous does it sound to say that Jon and Jim scheme this murder together thousands of miles away.

When they've never met each other, they work in completely different departments and completely different times of the day, they just work for the same company now I'm around. Did say if I answer each and every one of these questions to my subscribers and to him, he'll happily say I've never taken a penny from the hedge funds and I've got nothing to worry about I Personally know that I've not got anything to worry about because I know I do delete views when I overstep the line I know I've never bought fake subscribers I know that I'm not paid off by the hedgies because I do YouTubers my full-time and my only job and I know I've never worked for or with or had anything to do with Apollo whatsoever I Was here pretty much at the bottom of RSM UK and he's talking about something over here with the RSM USA leadership team in Private Equity in the United States Brain dead. Usually I wouldn't address a shill making ridiculous comments, but it's just unfair that he's revealing my personal information and the schools and colleges that I went to. and as always guys, you know I had to slip it in.
