You can't help but love his attitude in life. Ups and downs, but never give up.

[@chapelbythesea7949]

Yay, he ultimately made it. Im happy for him. He didnt try and screw people over.

[@TeddyFreddy94]

LOVE this guy. His tenacity and perseverance is Polish AND American. Only good vibes!

[@jbean8493]

He was a scum bag sheister…. What planet are you on. He’s sold you. You’re the perfect investor hahaha

[@Mr.Stines]

He loves the music more than the money

[@BebeTechManiac-fu4wu]

I just saw the movie, great story... and is great he then did the right thing. Jack Black... another great movie, he is a real artist.

[@kevinplanchet5472]

He says he will try to repay the almost two million dollars he took from investors and with his charisma and ability to ignore the obvious negatives, he may actually succeed.....but I doubt it. Until he can accept responsibility for what he did, doing the right thing may elude him. Bernie Madoff also blamed the greedy investors for their downfall.

[@konradt9786]

But his investors might be dead already and there is nothing to return 😂 they were mostly old people

[@Whither616]

Imagine the number record producers stole from artists

[@Whither616]

Not just musicians and comedians... all of those agents and shit. I grew up in LA you simpleton using KZbin to say how you know better but yahoo should have been a better candidate to own this platform supporting freelance programmers but now you pay services for what should be "free" information and art

[@Whither616]

Google shouldn't even own this platform you spout from

[@Whither616]

This guy was an enemy of the state because he didn't do what other people do all the fucking time

[@electricink3908]

Love that guy !

[@user-ru9gf7ky2y]

Audience completely oblivious of everything. "Oh, we laugh now ..ok . Oh, we clap...sure...we clap..." Uneducated society and thank you media. You guys are so amazing.

[@elazielonka7599]

Miło Cię widzieć Janku pozdrawiam

[@beegee6]

He sounds so sweet. i’m glad he’s still working 👏🏾✌🏽

[@HectorTerrazas-iq6ig]

Watched this movie at my daughters’ earlier today!! Very Good film!! ❤❤👍👍👍👍

[@darthjader77]

Ole ole ole ole ole ole

[@bogdankeler980]

❤ I Love POLAND ❤

[@iam1ina1000000]

I watched this tragic story and I am convinced that his manipulative gold digger of a wife, was the driving force behind his rampant greed and corruption... the guy was clearly obsessed with that woman, and she was obsessed with being rich and famous and he was just a tool that she used to get what she wanted. (Had he chosen a different woman, who was content to share his vision and cheer him on, then I have no doubt he would have succeeded eventually, without feeling the constant pressure to cheat people of their life savings, in order to keep his high maintenance wife in a style she was determined to become accustomed.)

[@RL-ck8zk]

I really dont think he meant to hurt anyone!

[@maryannerapana3375]

Exactly what I’m thinking, however he has been doing illegal issues and he went too far that eventually he was caught out. He paid the price for doing times in prison and including the incident with his loony cell mate and he has to payback the peoples money..... but underneath he is a okay guy 👍🏻

[@ryanhenson609]

Dude... lol. He knew exactly what he was doing

[@jamessyoen2402]

“Kinda got involved in some legal trouble?” Horrible interview. He seems like a likable guy, but he defrauded hundreds of people!

[@squanto2]

Polka, polka, polka Polka all day long. Polka, polka, polka Sing this happy song. I just wrote a polka song. Too easy.

[@dreamawake2670]

No you wrote some lines.

[@walterg6953]

I'm one of Polish 30 years ago I come to United States as 12 years old Later Polish community Everybody talk about it I know about this guy before movie come out He have Polish blood cunning long time since 1947-1989 Poland under communist rules but lower rules at time what mean we didn't have heavy rules Most happen 68 70 81 time Poland 81 martial law broke 1981 December 13 it happen Europe Free radio nothing else for Poles 1989 free Travel I remember time this communist era Poland change over 34 completely I Wonder 🤔 if this guy Jan pull of many things like cunning in Poland I don't think so In America pull like artist like a smart ass Pole I know he share story good watch plus movie bye

[@ll-hk1fv]

i love this man :')

[@Channel-pw3lm]

great movie

[@priscillathompson960]

It’s obvious he did get a bit greedy and he has an infectious likeable character... but I don’t know at the end of the day it’s just money? Not excusing what he did, but when you leave this world you take nothing? So I think this can be forgivable. He’s not an evil person

[@ewraticcreations8277]

I'ts only "just money" until you lack it. Ever heard of people die from hunger? in some countrys they do, but the funny thing is: there's actually enough food, people just lack the money to afford it, someone else has it.

[@blakeswanson1322]

ewrätic creations the people he conned had and still have money they were just greedy like him

[@ewraticcreations8277]

@@blakeswanson1322 true, but "they are bad too" doesn't make stealing good. He was greedy and took for himself. He didn't right a wrong, didn't "take from the evil rich and give to the righteous poor"

[@ewraticcreations8277]

@@blakeswanson1322 thing is: neither "it's just money" nor "they where greedy too" make him innocent. Only when a mistake is acknowledged there is room for forgiveness. To pretend he did nothing "that" bad at all doesn't do that.

[@MultiSakee]

Good Man heheh wary fany

[@michaelsadecki7554]

Doesn’t seem remorseful at all

[@bigpaint3337]

And he shouldn’t be. Re watch the movie because apparently you can’t get his real intentions through your thick miserable skull

[@CharlesJohnson-dp4vn]

Does your broker?

[@beckydelatorre122]

Is her dress ripping apart from the bottom?

[@vicioussuspicious894]

OLEE OLEE OLEE OLEEE

[@cyndybartness23]

No--it’s cut where the lace pattern goes

[@JuniorMcDirt]

Such a great movie and the fact that Vanessa bayer who is so sexy is in it makes the film a huge success.

[@czarli123]

funny thing is even the music is fake, no one really knows about Polka music in Poland, it’s mostly a Polish-American thing

[@ilikeitfunkee]

It started in Scranton it's now number 1

[@ilikeitfunkee]

I love the way the Polish culture disassociates and deny they're American cousins in every way in the most pompous way. It's really great and wholesome. Great job.

[@peterbravestrong]

What a crook.

[@bigpaint3337]

What a shittily named window licker would say after not understanding a single frame of the movie or story

[@blackpearl9401]

what else is new?🙄

[@KasiaZosia04723]

Such a poor English…after years in USA.

[@robonez]

Annoying guy, failed con-artist... ...also, Polka has to be pretty much the lamest music there is!!! :D Plus, the dude had/has a horrible singing-voice! :D :D :D

[@kissmyassdickhead9346]

He maybe a good person as a musician, but his culture music is out of date from his culture.

[@bigpaint3337]

Are you Polish? Kiss my ass, dickhead
