This fast-and-loose story will not stop me from my mission of empowering and educating people. Do you think if there were legitimate claims, this many attorneys would have abandoned them? They have been paid MORE than there has been profit! On the flip side, I have not made any money on this venture despite that I have continued to invest my time and resources.įinally, the Bakers have had 6 different attorneys representing them on these alleged matters over the years. The Baker’s have admitted being paid $659K already.

The business has done $16M in revenue and with the industry average in the meat business of 1-4% profit margins, that means the venture earned $640K on the high-end of the scale. I have nothing at all to hide whatsoever because I know the truth is on my side.Īlso - simple math and understanding of the difference between revenue and profit shows how outlandish these claims are. Here are my thoughts on the recent Los Angeles Times story that has tried to come after me for one of my Shark Tank investments. But I know when I need to stand up for myself. I’m not one to give oxygen to false information and bogus claims - especially ones that are rehashing things that were addressed through the legal process nearly 4 years ago.
