Problematical PEACHY PRINTER Pilfers Public Pledges!

[@Genesis-fe6pt]

"Its something I've done that I regret" wipes tears with 250,000 of backers money

[@StopDropRetro]

nah, he needs his fake tears to use in his drip feed 3d printer

[@IllusionSector]

_I'm really sorry. I shall now go home (😉) and think about what I did._

[@eastcoasteric]

I wonder how they went back and forth on who should be the "fall" guy once they had all that money? Because this SCREAMS "sketchy" allllllll over it.

[@savage1267]

Eric Durant Coin flip.

[@SumeaBizarro]

To me most there is "believable enough" for a lawsuit if one is raised by backers etc and then only upon one guy

[@CaptainPupu]

savage1267 no country for old man style

[@wrux]

They are the WWE of 3D printers with all that drama

[@DarkZerol]

Except the 'acting' the guy did in the Peachy Printer video is cringy as f*#@ not sure if the guy is doing on purpose or have no talent whatsoever in doing a facecam voice over KZbin video. From the tone it sounds like he's trying to do a really terrible impression of David Hayter from Solid Snake.

[@MordecaiTheAwesomeBluejay]

Dave! You money stealing dirt bag! I challenge you in a Cage match at Summerslam!

[@drakkenmensch]

and to continue your "WWE analogy, all I can think while watching this confession is Spoony screaming "SOMEONE CALL THE POLICE" at his television.

[@lightfire2012]

all im hearing from this guy is "lol we took your money now fuck off" *flips double bird*

[@WlatPziupp]

"I stole your money and built a house with it. But I said I'm sorry so fuck off while I live in my stolen house" The other guy probably took a bunch himself too since he's so willing to accept "answers" and writing off the built house as a loss

[@anibala.moralessanchez8018]

What I keep hearing: "We're so sorry, please don't sue us. Also, if worse comes to shove, can we use the rest of the backer money to hire a lawyer?"

[@Gonzakoable]

I hope he 3D printed his house

[@tomfromnwnj]

This looks like an commercial for a personal injury attorney with the dramatic music and stilted dialog during the CEO's admission.

[@StopDropRetro]

+Tom Rea If idiots could sue the world, we'd all be broke and this project would score even more money.

[@ccricers]

And that music is taken from Minecraft LOL

[@LUCKO2022]

They are being investigated now by the Saskatoon police and Consumer Protection Agency Canada. Now you ask how I know this, I happen to live in the city that these jokers live in and it is big news here. Hope it was worth it for these clowns.

[@StopDropRetro]

+Pixar The Great That's good to know but I feel sorry to hear you have to live in the same city as the only two assholes in Canada. They should be a tourist attraction, you guys can put them in a zoo and charge admission to get the money back.

[@LUCKO2022]

StopDrop&Retro Meh, could be worse. My hometown is infamous as well for crooks,especially on a world wide stage.

[@KaeYoss]

StopDrop&Retro The only two assholes? That's a stereotype. Canada is full of people who are the worst mankind has ever produced.

[@LUCKO2022]

Yep like Percy Schmiser. I am from the same home town as Percy, and I do know the real story of the Monsanto Canola and it ain't what Percy claims.

[@ryuzakikun96]

Did anything ever come out of the investigation? Was anyone arrested or fined? Did the backers have any recompense?

[@Legoguy9875]

"I have always wanted to tell you about this, however the timing is of utmost importance" Translated: "We spent all the money sooner than expected, and we needed time to come up with a cover story, and edit a video that will make you feel bad for us in the process"

[@StopDropRetro]

you forgot "and blame someone else so we can ask for more money"

[@TheNexDude]

The biggest problem is they overproduced the apology. Nobody apologizes like this unless they're trying to hide true intentions.

[@Aegon_of_Astora]

I've no stake in any of this, but I really appreciate the time and effort you put into this video. More broadly, I always look forward to watching your uploads. Keep up the great work.

[@StopDropRetro]

+Aegon of Astora Thanks! I love checking out these crazy projects, there's another I've got my eye on already but it'll have to wait till at least next week.

[@BawesomeBurf]

That guy should just turn himself in to Canadian authorities. This is such a bizarre thing with the confession video, and the "Reacts" video.

[@Alanzice]

This is the weirdest video of this kind i ever watched. I smell a really bad scam right there. Goddamit people, crowdfunding was supposed to be a good thing...

[@StopDropRetro]

+KamatsuKyoto It's so entertaining though! I feel sorry for the backers but I hope on some level they're able to enjoy it as being a part of a very unique Kickstarter failure.

[@Cameraville]

This CEO is SO FKN STRANGE, I never want to see his face or hear his voice again.

[@Matsign]

If only houses could be sold.

[@Cameraville]

The CEO is so strange. I would say he stole the money, set up the other guy from the beginning, slowly framing him, then he probably said ' Guess what I stole all the money and have you framed, so you tell everyone you stole it, and I won't bring the supporting evidence to the police.'

[@StopDropRetro]

yeah, I need an update to this video, unfortunately it doesn't seem like the police have done shit. But I should revisit this.

[@Cameraville]

StopDrop&Retro also I got shat on with a Pirate Bay 3d Buccaneer pledge. It might be a good story to tell. They F'd everyone on kickstarter but would deliver to non kickstarter buyers at an inflated price. I have some nice emails from them telling me I will not get a refund or a printer.

[@MohammedMuaawia]

this is so cringy. Did these guys genuinely think that if they set up this whole dramatic set piece and film it documentary style that the backers would just forgive them? They couldn't have made it more obvious that they planned to steal it from the get go.

[@StopDropRetro]

+Mohammed Hamza It's so awkward it's beautiful. I almost want them to make a full documentary about it just to hear them try to explain it further and act out the scenes dramatically. Imagine the dialogue! "you may have destroyed my project, but you can't kill my growly voice!!" Damn, I want to write that now.

[@MohammedMuaawia]

+StopDrop&Retro If You did a fake trailer for a dramatic movie using dialogue from these guys video, my life would be complete.

[@StopDropRetro]

+Mohammed Hamza You did a very dangerous thing, Mohammed. You planted an idea in my head!

[@MohammedMuaawia]

Yes, probably yes. 4 years later that idea seems quite realistic.

And to add insult to injury, second handed or cheap 3D printers already reached price tag below $99.99

[@richardpinter4688]

This remind me of the Zano drone project(they asked for 100k£, we gave 1 or 2 mill £), although they spent money on "wages, parts and stuff", sent out 5-10 barely working drones and then went bankrupt. Kickstarter took their share and flipped us backers off :/ Second and last project that I backed. It`s a shame that they can just take money and don`t provide anything in return,except for sorrow/anger.

I've been waiting for the porn industry to get around to parodying crowdfunding. Or crowdfucking, as they will likely call it. They'll have sites like DickSucker and IndieGagGag

[@thatpart]

Generic cheap motel, check. ''He snorted up my share of the coke too!''. They are trying SO HARD to not break out laughing at the suckers - err, crowdfunders. I want to see the other video, the one where they recreate the final scene of Scarface - complete with machine guns.

[@StopDropRetro]

I'm convinced it was a scam from the beginning. Just spend everyone else's money and because you're in Canada there is no real justice.

[@unimprezzedmclastname4220]

[@FrancisR420]

After all that crap their first two options were 'give us more money'

[@hernanipereira]

i discovered your channel a few days ago and i already watched (most) of your videos. I loove your content, its smart, quite hilarious (its always good having sense of humor, cheers for that!) but, most importantly, very informative and thoughtful. You seem to take the time and effort of thinking/researching about these products, the ideas and concepts being delivered in most of these scams (?), but also how all these seem to be (sadly) a small part in the culture we live in today. You already became one of my favorite youtubers and i already subscribed ;) hope to see more videos from you

[@hernanipereira]

if you accept suggestions of future videos, i know one Kickstarter product that have allllllllllll the signs of a very well-made scam. Its been plagued with all sorts of problems, communication avoidances and issues, constant shipment delays, lack of believable prototipes, technical fantasies many say are not possible at all, huge periods of silence to the bakers, etc, etc. It really reeks and i would love to see a video about these guys. They were called Slidenjoy, already changed name (now they are Le Slide lel) and they clam we will be to use double and triple monitors in a single computer (?) www.kickstarter.com/projects/slidenjoy/slidenjoy-double-or-triple-your-screens/posts/2149022

[@liamcollinson5695]

My feeling is there could not make the 3d printer so he offered his friend half the money to confess that he stole the money so there keep the money and don't have to deliver

[@Vampier]

I am 3:30min in. And my BS meter is through the roof. These are bad liars and bad actors. Man.... This is so f-ing BS!

+VampierMSX Their acting plus the hotel room makes their video look like a porno that never gets to the good part.

[@RanFuRe]

People getting screwed by throwing their money at unknown amateur companies, thus carrying all of the risk while reaping none of the revenue? Color me shocked ;-P

[@illford]

Why does the video look like a Metal Gear Solid Cutscene

[@MrBenMcLean]

I do not understand why this man wasn't immediately selling his house for whatever the hell he could get and giving that money back to the company.

[@StopDropRetro]

because it was all bullshit, I'm convinced they were acting together

[@BlackSkullArmor]

If they spent all that energy on making a TV drama I bet they'd be rolling in drachma right about now

[@djgamble07]

Unanswered question - why isn't he offering to sell the house to repay the $$$? Just saying.

[@WlatPziupp]

"He built a house with it, it's gone" It's not gone, it's been converted into a house. Sell the fucking house or rent it out and then sell it. For fucks sake...

[@rachelmarieLMT]

Something about this seems fishy...I really don't trust the CEO guy. The way he acts, especially when he's telling the other backers, he seems guilty of something. Either he knew for a lot longer than he's saying and was afraid to admit it or he's guilty of embezzlement too. Idk but there's something off...

[@walfalcon]

So Canadian. "I'm soory for stealing thousands of dollars, eh."

[@dsandoval9396]

LOL!

[@SuperCosmicMutantSquid]

The way the guy isn't looking at the camera gives off the feeling that he's lying. Even if it is a camera, it feels more truthful when you make EYE CONTACT with someone when you're talking with them.

[@samtheman6869]

the funny thing is that you can legit sue them for fraud

[@StopDropRetro]

yeah, but the hard part is that most of the backers are for sure not in Canada, so out (ooot?) of their jurisdiction, plus most KS backers are completely spineless so they're never going to go after the creators.

[@darksidegryphon5393]

4:19 "...the first Kickstarter campaign to deliver a snuff film to the backers." same.

[@FriendofSonic]

wow, what a bunch of schmucks. The "CEO" is just as much to blame for allowing this to go to a personal account in the first place

[@dsandoval9396]

Yeah. It was either a scam from the beginning, or, he is truly a fucking moron. Why didn't he just put it into HIS account? If he didn't have an account or a bank he goes to (which is hard to believe but not far-fetched), why didn't he just make an account? Bank personnel will bend over backwards to get you to have/make an account with them. You'll be in and out faster than black guy going for a chick with a big ass.

[@MuchWhittering]

So as far as I can tell from the dead r/PeachyPrinter, nothing ever happened with this, these guys just disappeared. So yeah, intentional scam. The lack of cooperation with police should have already showed that though.

[@titaniumweasel]

It's more than a little late, but here's my baseless speculation on this situation. I don't think that Rylan went into this wanting to scam people. He just wanted to make a cheap 3d printer. His friend came to him and was like 'hey, can I use some of the Kickstarter money to build a house? I'll pay it back quickly, I just need the cash fast'. Instead of telling him to go to hell, he agreed on the condition that he film a confession video admitting to stealing the money just in case he couldn't pay it back.

[@meetspins]

Could you please do an update to this video, so he just ran out of money and that's it? So anyone can start a Kickstarter and just run out of money? And that's the end of it

[@jarmakey1]

Yup anyone can do it, it's just usually - if the backers have any sense- a one shot deal. If you start another campaign that's easily re-traceable to your previous one, you aren't going to succeed again. And maybe it's a stereotype, but the type of people who give tons of money to these projects have way too much time on their hands. You will get hounded by emails and angry letters, and they will internet stalk you if they can, warning off all your future victims.

[@Zizzily]

I love how browsing through this, it turns into an even bigger shit show. Apparently they got government grants for CA$90k and CA$135k plus a loan from a family member for CA$50k. They also got CA$107,000 of the CA$320,000 back! So while this guy "owes" CA$213k, they got CA$275k between grants and the loan, so that should mean they've had more than enough money to finish, whether or not the rest is paid back. It also means that in total, before fees, they earned CA$1,000,258 between KS, IGG, grants and the loan!

[@Zizzily]

Doing some more searching, I found a good article about the whole thing from Motherboard: motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/peachy-printer You should do a second video on this!

[@StopDropRetro]

Yeah, I did hear about their government grants shortly after making this video, wish I had found out earlier since I would have included it. And yeah, they "lost" the money the guy "stole" but they made up for all of it with government grants, so it doesn't make sense and it's certainly not 50% of their money raised or whatever they said. Plus they met their goal many times over, so I don't get why they couldn't at least make partial deliveries and figure the rest out later. Also, the pie chart I screen capped has since been altered or deleted from their update. It's clear they were looking to ask for more money with this video. I'm glad most people, including their backers, didn't fall for that trap. I'd like to make a follow up but there's not a lot of news to follow up on. The authorities don't seem to be doing anything and the project seems to be dying a slow quiet death into obscurity.

[@Zizzily]

Will be interesting to see if any more comes of it. If there's enough to make a follow-up at some point, I'll definitely watch it. Love your vids!

[@MitchellHang]

Can you do a review on the Retro Freak?

[@BLY99]

I'm already subscribed and i had already liked the video, so i'm commenting to thank you for fitting that jab at hipsters in the video.

[@StopDropRetro]

+BoloYung I'm such a self-hating hipster, I love it. I've been hating my own kind before it was popular.

[@RevJR]

So what they actually did was run a two-way con? Like, make one guy look guilty, so the guy talking to us can act like he was duped, then they both make out like bandits and don't have to do anything. Crazy times.

[@StopDropRetro]

I really hope they come clean some day. There's no way their retelling is accurate. All we know for sure is that it must be a lot worse than it is already.

[@personacharles]

Few understand the civil law and less the demands for R&D engineering. Since the personal account was used before incorporation, the individual with account is culpable. The incorporation and development phase is after this. What has been accomplished in development has been done despite the lack of transfer of funds by the "money changer"

[@Penoatle]

Why did they have a disembodied head tell us about these events?

[@nashjonas]

4:18 Here I fell off of my chair. That's probably the best joke I've heard all month.

[@StopDropRetro]

Thanks!!

[@zzdjchris]

It's so obvious that they both just took $100k each n run. This is so BLATANTLY OBVIOUS! He won't go to that law, because he's guilty by association. They split, then hit.

[@jamesflames6987]

At first David didn't know how much money he had stolen, but luckily later he remembered he had stolen the rest of the money as well and so sadly that couldn't be returned to the backers either.

[@JaapioNL]

So the money went in a house... sell the fucking house!

[@StopDropRetro]

exactly. It sucks that I don't see any punishment came of this.

[@techeadache]

Will Mr. David Boe invite all the backers to a BBQ on the new patio (Peachy Patio Party)? $100 hot dogs, mosquitoes, and a quick visit to the flattest place on earth. Great place to build a house. But he only took half of the money. Where is the rest of it?

[@StopDropRetro]

+techeadache after I uploaded I found out other people are saying they actually got even more money from the government of Canada, like $200k in government grants!! But I don't have a source on that, if true that's pretty damning. But yeah even with half the money they should have been able to at least make partial deliveries.

[@techeadache]

+StopDrop&Retro Well the only thing left for them to do is to get pissed drunk. Play some rough contact hockey. Find the guy and kick his ass, eh. Afterwards, they can all sit down, brew some coffee, and share their feelings in a hotel room together....UH, WHAT!? Being Canadian means that anyone can apologize for doing something wrong and everything is all forgiven. Well at least those two did not kiss. Even though they clearly have a lot of sexual tension between them. Why get a hotel room?

[@Couldntsay]

If this guy was the owner of the company, shouldn't he be to blame? Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's almost like he's trying to put all the blame off onto other guy who ran off with the money, but he chose to go into business with a scammer, left him in charge of all the money, and lagged behind on both moving the money to a business account and legally pursuing the guy, yet he acts like, "Yeah, guys, I'm right there with you! This guy messed it all up and screwed both of us!" when in reality, he's in charge of the business and should take responsibility for the fuck-ups of his business. Idk, I might just be a dick.

[@StopDropRetro]

you're absolutely right. His behavior is shameful. I still don't get why you leave the money with someone who is not the creator and in his private bank account.

[@walfalcon]

It's weird, most channels have more views than subscribers on their average video, but this one has fewer, and it's been over a year. That's really a shame.
