2) I have built several apps myself (including an early version of the Razzi app) but the current Razzi app was certainly developed by Allen and I together. He has never done any work on the website. Myself and Michael (my co-founder) completed and manage everything you see online.

3) I have never stated that my parents are not well off, I have said that they are not the reason that I live the life I do. In the FFI promo video we state that “some think we have rich parents...they are far from it”. This is in reference to the fact that many think my parents are the reason for my lifestyle, which is completely incorrect.

4) She has answered this on her blog. You can see what people who have done the course have to say on the website if you’re interested:

“Essentially, what people with this opinion are implying is that no successful person could ever have good intentions and simply want to help others. Yes, I make good money trading, but it takes up less than 1% of my day. I’m not content going shopping and lazing around for the other 99%. I get a kick out of changing the way others think and making a positive difference in the world. I don’t believe in charging ridiculous amounts for education. If I charged $10,000 each course would these people be more satisfied that I had good intentions. I don’t think so. Shock horror- some people like helping others. With this logic these people could argue that if university professors or school teachers are so knowledgable, why do they bother teaching others for such little personal benefit? Maybe because that’s what they want to do?! There are some genuinely good people in the world with good intentions. While some have ulterior motives, not all do. All comments like FDN 2 tell me is that these people have been burned before and are spiteful, closed minded, negative people who are not likely to go very far in life. Nothing more."

5) I am in the process of refreshing my garage currently yes, and I did list some of them for sale while I was away. What is the issue with this? I don’t see how me selling my cars and purchasing new cars is of any concern to you? I have a YouTube channel, so to keep content fresh and also because I can, I like to refresh my garage every now and then. Apologies for the omission however, I am keeping the white GTR and the Murcie for now.

I hope this clears up your concerns and we can all put our time to better use.

OK, I will play. I will keep this direct, clear and to the point. So I am going to take the time to write out everything that comes to my mind and how you address and respond to that will clearly indicate whether your answering like a politician or truly playing damage control and not owning up to what you yourself have created for yourself now.

I don't know you Robert from a hole in the wall. I actually didn't really give a shit about any of this nonsense as I do have better things to do with my time. HOWEVER, as time went on and more and more of this dialog began to reach a crescendo with the community, I not only took notice but as Raw stated, it became really hard to look the other direction... just like a horrific car crash.

Coming from someone who is in the entertainment industry (as are many other members here), the minute you make your lifestyle public, you have automatically invited that public to delve into, make commentary on and remark on everything you do… whether you like it or not. That is the downside to public life and celebrity. There is a reason why celebrities, writers and many others take a pseudonym and in case it escapes you, it is to separate their "public life" from their personal one. Making statements like (and the many others I have read):

show the lack of forethought to this point. It also demonstrates you have a bit of ego in this as you want all the "glory" that comes with fame without any of the consequence that unfortunately accompanies that. This is a choice you made. If you open yourself up publicly, prepare to be scrutinized publicly. There is no criticism or attitude due to anyone for this other than yourself. Please stop with the arrogant and kurt responses regarding people simply demanding answers to what you and everyone else knows are inconsistencies in the stories you have been heard telling. It is only natural for these questions to come up since you are the one volunteering the information about yourself and some things simply don't line up. If you "didn't mean" for these things to come off the way they did, it is time you own up to the fact they are inconsistent and start saying exactly what you mean so people can understand what is really going on. If you cannot explain it clearly to us, how are we to clearly understand what is taking place?? The attitude displayed when asking for clarification shows your immaturity and gross misunderstanding of these points I make. You want to make it better? Adapt and get better at presenting yourself, deliberate long and hard when crafting public messages or hire a PR firm/Press Agent to do it for you

While I am on the topic of inconsistencies and I seemingly have your attention (BTW, it amazes me that as a successful businessman you have let this spiral wildly out of control as much as you have, this is 100X worse than it would have been had you come out publicly much earlier and the longer it goes without clear, indisputable information the worse it will become harming you and your family's name to the point it will cripple your future earnings and success) I want to give you some fair advice here. Assuming your story is as true as you say it is, I would suggest just laying out everything from beginning to end in one shot. This will help restore your credibility, clear up confusion from piecemeal information dropped across multiple venues and at different times, tie together everything succinctly for the record and most likely put an end to the mess your dealing with right now. The moment you don't give this earnest attention to detail and leave things out, it will just continue to hurt you… or become even worse.

BOTTOM LINE: Aside from the million questions and inconsistencies (I will let others handle that)… you made yourself a public figure and openly accepted everything that went along with it in the beginning. Now as a result you need to take responsibility for that and address concerns publicly. This is why there are PR firms and press agents in the world who serve public figures in all kinds of industries. You have already committed the biggest act of suicide a public figure can make… not having a professional handle your publicity and PR for you. Rule number #1 is to NEVER do this yourself, as you are learning. If you have the money you say you do... get a professional to help straighten things out and salvage your reputation now!

I think this thread as a whole has more content - and better life lessons - than the book lol.

Speaking of narration from Morgan Freeman - just watched Million Dollar Baby last nite.
Do people like "Danger" really exist (how did yer get der ice kube inta der bottle - ice kubes iz so big and der bottle openin's so small)

One does not simply lie to L4P and get away with it.

Roberts personal tax returns would end this all.

Before I begin this post I would like to introduce myself. Some of you may know me, and some of you may not. I've posted a few times on the forum and have grown to greatly enjoy the forum as a whole. I'm very aware, and prepared for the negative criticisms that will ensue from my making this post, and in all honesty hope this doesn't affect how you guys see me as a person. This is more or less a post to explain to you the effect of Rob's book on the community.

I would like to start off by dismantling any likely upcoming posts stating I am a fan boy or the such. Months ago, I had no idea who Rob was or what he did. I had never even heard of the guy. Sharing the same passion as him, and a majority of L4P's members', I am indeed a complete car nut. I've grown up in a comfortable lifestyle and have been raised with proper values from a family raised around work ethic. This work ethic has been the way I have always promised myself I would dictate my life. A few months ago (Before any Far From It ideas had even been known about) I was browsing YouTube when I came across Rob's channel. Of course to my amazement, I watched all his videos that displayed beautiful cars. To be honest, his age did surprise me slightly, but having seen many trust-fund babies in my area of Florida, I did believe he was part of that crowd. And then I researched, and then after having begun to follow him on Facebook, I saw he had created an event to meet his followers by having a Go-Kart together. Both my friend and I decided to take the drive to meet Rob, and hopefully earn a ride in his car by obtaining one of the best scores at the kart race. We arrived at the race, and met Rob, and to be honest, it astonished me to see how down to Earth both he and Amy were. (This is prior to all the "scam" posts have begun arising). My opinion was formed on both of them. To me, Rob and Amy were two successful young people that I knew would aspire many young people to work their hardest and better their own lives.

Having been born with the mindset they have both also been instituted, I have always done my own share of work at a young age to differ myself from the rest. Being still in high school, I have already created myself a few online and offline businesses that earn me more than working any regular job I could currently work at. And yes, I might not be driving a Lamborghini, or a Mercedes, but I like to treat myself to nice things. Occasionally my girlfriend and I like to go very nice restaurants around Sarasota and greatly enjoy it. Now imagine how many people in my highschool have already told me my dreams would not happen, or how many times they've claimed my money was given to me solely by my parents. My parents are successful, but they also have a mindset in which they tell me if I want success, I have to earn it. Success, much like respect, is not a birth right. Success is something of merit that must be earned. Therefore, these claims are all false. When the Powerball usually hits over 50,000,000 USD my dad and I decide it's fun to play despite knowing our chances are so slim. And one day, I asked him, if he would upgrade my car if we won. He told me, we might upgrade it to a car similar to the one you have now, but there's no way we would upgrade it to an exotic/supercar. His reasoning that has stuck with me since was this: We earned the money, not you, therefore if you want your own money, you must earn it. Again this doesn't mean he is selfish or unwilling to help, it just means he wants my life values to remain at the ones I was taught while growing up, no matter how our financial situation was to be changed.

Now fast forward to a few months back (End of July) I purchased Far From It out of pure interest and to motivate my mindset. Did I expect a get rich quick guide? No. Was it advertised as one? No. Was it advertised as a book explaining their stories, and their main motivations to achieve what they have? Yes, it was advertised exactly as that. What did I gain from Far From It? It strengthened my motivation and mindset. Was I really expecting me to buy myself a Ferrari or other exotic after a month's work? No, but I knew that by surrounding myself with as much motivation as possible, I would be even more dedicated to making my various business' thrive to a point where I could enjoy my life even more by driving my own supercar at a young age.

Now let me discuss the Far From It community as a whole. About a week ago, Rob held an event in Orlando to meet some of the Far From It members. At the meeting, both my friend (Same friend that met Rob with me the first time) and I met a group of others our age that have also created their own businesses and were already well off. After the meeting, we all headed back to our own directions home. What did we earn from this? We exchanged numbers, e-mails, etc etc. Since then, we have each been discussing together the possibilities of combining labor skills as well as creativity ideas and merging them into a project that we could all do together. Since we have all been planning to move to Orlando for schools, we have been exploring the possibilities of moving into a house together to reduce our price of rent, and to motivate ourselves and our creativity and working together.

Another example my friend (the same one who came with me to Rob's meets) used to work at Target. He used to get payed roughly about $9.00 an hour. Rob's book alone was enough motivation to push him to quit his job and start his own online business. Result? He's now driving his brand new FR-S and making over 10 times what he used to make. Far From It alone was enough to push him to be different and start his own business.

The Far From It community acts as one big family, and it's a shame that some don't realize what's been created by the invention of this community. I know some of you may not appreciate Rob or what he's done or whatever the reason may be, but if there is one thing you can appreciate, it's the fact he's brought together a multitude of young individuals that have the power and the motivation to work together in order to better their own lives, and the lives of others in the process.

The Far From It community has changed the minds of many people, including my own, and has affected me greatly. I know that due to Far From It and due to Rob, I have created life long friendships and future business partnerships with other members I have met.

Once again, I hope this doesn't change how the community sees me as a member, I am just trying to give my 2 cents on the story. I enjoy and support both the Far From It community, and the Luxury4Play community. I really enjoy following and supporting members on both forums, as both communities have some extremely talented minds and have both achieved some great things.

Take my opinion for what it's worth to you, I'm not trying to stir/create/bring up any sort of disagreements. I just want to give some perspective on a member of both forums and my story of how this has changed some aspects of my life.

Thanks for listening to my long rant. (I apologize for the long post).

Nobody is doubting that he created a close knit community. The problem is his bold face lying about how he has made money and bought his cars.
