Who Kept the Tablets after the Business Failed? | Part 2

[@CalebBelanger-r1o]

I almost forgot Zach and I were on this show 7 or 8 years ago. There is so much more to that story that isn’t told. We both ended up making our way. I went into the tech space and I believe Zach runs a roofing company that does pretty well these days. You’re never down and out, just making adjustments until you find what your looking for. Overall, it was an incredibly valuable experience. It all worked out.

[@franciscopartida2737]

Starting your business by buying cars and cigars, is a little bit pf putting the cart before the horse 😆 And despite how impatient JJ was, it was nice of her to entertain these guys various claims as much as she did!

Cigars as a business expense? No wonder they were struggling. The business associate won't work for defendant because he's not good at business.

[@smutjunkies559]

It's to impress potential clients. A cigar and some top shelf whiskey can work wonders but yes, it's way too early for that.

[@dfa3366]

The only times I've seen cigars associated with business is in movies. Same thinking from those college kids who tried to rob rare antique books from a library. They rented Ocean's Eleven as a guide to rob something.

@@mthomas1443 they did say they were 20. From the vantage point of my 60 plus years, I remember the idealistic foolishness that I got up to when I was 20. I have seen my own children with similar foolishness and are now emerging on the other side with good sense. I know some people have it heard from their teens and have to rush out and made their way in the world with no room for mistakes but that doesn't stop me from wishing they too had had a chance to be kids as well.

[@kumudchoudhary9053]

Only thing is since the show bears the expense of any compensation if awarded so they were actually trying to cut their losses in a way by trying to get some money out of the failure of their business.

They will make it one day. This is how most business people start . They fail and fail until they succeed.

[@carolynthornton8017]

IN MY VIEW If I understood correctly, Judge Judy said both these guys were 20 years-old. The businesses they started failed but both guys have 'Entrepreneur' written all over them. They never once called themselves victims for taking business risks.They don't know what failure is, only lessons and staying focused. I wish both business success.

[@BNR_248]

Everyone laughs and ridicules them, nothing wrong with being ambitious. Great learning experience, especially this early in life, hopefully drives them to be successful in their future.

[@chopkong]

If at all possible, avoid business partnerships. Their failure rate is higher than 80%. It's worse than a marriage.

[@venska9]

Odd mentality. So just go every venture solo? The right business partner is a force multiplier. I think the better answer is just to vet them carefully.

[@chopkong]

@@venska9 I agree the right partnership could be beneficial, but the odds are not in your favor. Even large corporations fail in mergers more often than they succeed. I see it first hand as an investment banker in the M&A space for over 25 years. They have a lot of resources to vet their partners, and still fail a majority of the time.

[@Random-xw1fg]

Why do they fall *?

[@venska9]

@chopkong I can't comment on large mergers. All I can comment on is starting a business from scratch. I've got 3 that I'm running and my success is only down to the team of people committed to a common vision. I would of failed years ago if I tried to be a one man army. I look at this being like investing in the stock market, more people lose money than make it. But if you can control your emotions and have a system then you start to move the odds more in your favour.

[@chopkong]

@@Random-xw1fg They fail mostly due to "gray area" misunderstanding, which results from not communicating. Each partner has a different perspective, impression and expectation that are not congruent or not communicated effectively with their partners, thus, creating confusion, mistrust, frustrations, etc. In other words, they don't see "eye-to-eye".

come on Judy, if the dude stole the cigars, he should pay for them. Property is property. I can get it if it's a 10 year old kiddie table someone purchased for $30, but cigars can be pricey.

[@therealbrotherbill9627]

I think the issue was that they hadn't kept good business records (the plaintiff had implied earlier that he wasn't even sure how much money he had put into the business - just knew it was more than $600). If you don't keep good business records, it's gonna be really hard to be able to sue for the value of cigars.

[@Momo-po5tn]

This man said "about" $600

[@RXbee2]

"About??! THIS is a court! You are supposed to being exact amounts and PROOF!! Where did you think you were coming today---to the beach???" 😆 🤣 😂

[@johnsmi213]

Her issue was that cigars were not a significant business expense so if he lost out on splurging on them 30 days into a new business venture, it's his loss.

[@jamesr1703]

This scenario happens to good businessmen several times. You fail, fail, fail until you score, but when you score, you really score.

[@annabanana730]

I don't think the defendant was very bright. He clearly took the tablets and cigarettes and even took money out of his business associate's pockets. And I believe the plaintiff when he says he put more into the business then the defendant. The defendant had every intention to profit off the plaintiff. He didn't want the plaintiff to have the tablets and stole the cigars + 100$. He couldn't it as an employee, much less an entrepreneur.

I found it odd, too. He had a personal microphone clipped on his shirt and the one on the table. How much more audio did the plaintiff need to feel he was being heard? He was young so I give him a pass on it. 😅

I hope that next time he goes into business he keeps a better record of how much money he's putting in and where it goes go. Kinda like you're going to live together and you're buying stuff. Allways keep record of what you're purchasing and who it belongs to. Money is way too important to just be thrown away like that. And when it comes to money: trust nobody else with your own money, not even your best friend. It's the only way of keeping your legs on dry land.
