About The Profit:
When Marcus Lemonis isn’t running his multi-billion dollar company, Camping World, he goes on the hunt for struggling businesses that are desperate for cash and ripe for a deal. In each one-hour episode of The Profit, Lemonis makes an offer that’s impossible to refuse; his cash for a piece of the business and a percentage of the profits. And once inside these companies, he’ll do almost anything to save the business and make himself a profit; even if it means firing the president, promoting the secretary or doing the work himself.

The Profit In 10 Minutes: Swanson's Fish Market

[@monkey220ms]

This is so suspicious. 2 fires. They got more money from insurance and are still in huge debt. They can’t pay their mortgage or employees but they have Verizon, the wife drives a BMW, the husband owns a boat?? 🤔

[@JPWRana]

You forgot the contractors and painter for their home remodel.

[@jaimhaas5170]

Yeah this has "fraud" written all over it. They seem quite easy about it too.

[@reydolla]

Greed people deserve death si they can't disturb others.

[@rachelhill2004]

Something tells me these people are committing fraud.

[@don_rocco8600]

Yup smells like insurance fraud

I was thinking the same time

JUPPPP

[@donald1056]

I believe you are exactly right

[@annawitte8571]

Yes

[@lesliesackey2515]

The 1st fire, the one at the warehouse, was probably a real fire that happened by accident. But a 2nd fire to the same business with a hefty amount given from the insurance company, is very suspicious. Especially considering both fires have unknown origins.

[@jaimhaas5170]

Even his body language when the topic comes up shows he is guilty of insurance fraud.

[@askurmom1]

This is what happens when business owners try to live above their means.

[@terrymcchesney383]

Saw the original airing, knew what was coming, and still raised my blood pressure....

[@armandobenard2251]

No wonder when you look this place up on Google Maps and it says permanently closed.

I wasn’t late I had the painter and the contractor there! Lol

[@nipungupta6237]

She's the only one who is acting responsible. Both her parents are grown up children she's the one handling everything

[@MBAinternetmktg]

Hmmm, the mother and father seem like sociopaths. Wow! The Dad is trying to blame Marcus for not doing research ahead of time to find out that they were scamming the employees for money while they live it up. Hope the daughter was able to start over somewhere far away, but she seems headed down the same road as her parents.

[@betobsbf]

The daughter urgently needs to get away from her absolutely toxic parents and rebuild her own life. Which will not be difficult, given the work capacity and commitment showed.

[@ahmaddaniel5435]

Poor daugter

[@nikolaisemenoff9092]

Their story is very fishy

[@medamine2500]

wait what about the camera; they didn't see it ? and till the end they still filming and no one has a problem with it OMG serious ?

[@NoName-zb1gm]

I don't think Swanson was capable of running the business. He inherited it from his father and ran it into the ground because he was more about using the business as a piggy bank and not respecting the business. I worked in a family business and the daughter and son didn't know what they were doing but they always made sure they got their 6 figure salaries and had nice cars.

[@veritasproperties]

So sad! How do people like that sleep at night? The wheel always turns.

[@veritasproperties]

Wow! The lies! And looking at their body language, they look very fishy. And the disrespect towards Marcus and even not looking at their employees first. Shame on them! I would love to have seen where the money all went to.

[@moomoomoo33ass]

It’s too bad he isn’t investing anymore. Just giving advice. I stopped watching because of that

[@JPWRana]

[@teacherhomieg]

Looks like they’re going to have to burn the building again to make their payments. Feel bad for the daughter. Only responsible one there.

[@youmnaification]

the building burned twice. really. something is fishy in one of the coolers.

BMW, a boat, house remodeling..maybe a 3rd fire on the way in case Sue wants a small plane.

[@mathieupierre759]

[@jasonups5386]

Thank Goodness you walked away from the Crooks that take advantage of the system. The daughter didn’t know and I hope she left and went to a real company who listens to employees with respect and honesty

I hope she do it.

This is life! Liars, reprobate minds, Demonic scum! Jesus Christ warned us that the heart of man is DESPERATELY wicked, who can know it! Jesus didn’t come for the righteous but he came & died for the sinner! Many sinners refuse to ask for forgiveness and refuse to turn from all sin, because they love their sin! Many will not be ready when judgement day soon arrives!

[@VineV-Dutch]

I try to help people.... Yeah right. He's a monster. Forced people and business out of work with a big lawyers department, big checkbook or my the mass of his businesses. He isn't helping family businesses, he's destroying them.

[@greenpawmoving1535]

Lol he's a thief and liar. Sad part is he's stealing from his own business. The lying part is the worse. I Know a guy just like that. Never takes any responsibility. He would schedule the job at the wrong date and blame you for not double checking his work lol

[@Arcenia13]

WoW! I’d rather move my help to another business who could benefit from what I could offer. NEXT!

'After the show aired, business at Swanson's Fish Market plummeted and the family started getting death threats, obscene phone calls, and a flood of negative reviews online. Every time the episode ran, they'd get a new round of harassment from pro-Lemonis trolls. Larissa posted a message on the company's website explaining their side of the story, but within three years, business dwindled to a fraction of what it had been. A few days before Christmas 2017, Swanson's Fish Market announced it was closing its doors. Gerard Swanson (the grandad who opened the store)died the next day.' The Swansons did not come across well on The Profit. Their building had caught fire years prior and construction costs exceeded what insurance paid. They went on the show, looking for help to get out of a cycle of debt. But during the episode, Gary mistakenly said the insurance company paid $1.2 million after the fire, when it paid only around $900,000. "My dad was nervous and Marcus was just hammering him with questions," says Larissa. "He messed up on numbers." They did another take, but the episode shows Lemonis "catching" Gary in a lie--the implication being that the business owner may have committed arson and insurance fraud. Neither is true, says Larissa, who decided to break her nondisclosure agreement and speak to Inc.' 'As with any reality TV show, the journey on The Profit begins with signing away some of your rights. Inc. obtained the show's contract, which gives The Profit's production company, Machete, and CNBC, the legal right to "portray [a] company in a false light" and to "edit, cut, rearrange, adapt, dub, revise, modify, fictionalize" what the business owners say. It also gives Machete the right to record with "hidden cameras" and expose a company and its employees to "public ridicule, humiliation, or condemnation.' www.inc.com/will-yakowicz/dark-side-of-marcus-lemonis-reality-tv-show-the-profit.html I can’t verify any of the above but it’s in the provided link so sad
