'Timepiece Gentleman' $5M Fraud Exposed: New Details

Anthony Farrer operated for years as a luxury watch dealer but federal prosecutors claim he was actually a conman struggling with addictions to gambling and drugs. Farrer was based in Beverly Hills until he traveled across the country last year hoping to gather $5 million to pay back investors and clients. Law&Crime's Angenette Levy shows us the police body camera video of Farrer confronting another jeweler in Arizona and talks with former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani about the alleged Ponzi scheme in this episode of Crime Fix — a daily show covering the biggest stories in crime.

He's not $5m in debt - he stole $5 million from unsuspecting clients. Very different!

[timmymiron]

They are probably plenty of people who makes people believe that they are living this luxurious life but actually have no money.

[koolblue]

Guy doesn't even have a roll of paper towels.

[junito]

What gets to me is that, in many occasions, this man accused ppl of being scammers but the real con artist was him !!

[AT-ktwy]

*He talks about how he feels and how he regrets his decisions but actually this man feels nothing, that’s how narcissistic people are*

[JKuster]

This guy doesn't deserve sympathy. This is another reason why social media is a cancer on our society. He isn't sincere, he's trying to manipulate more people to give him more views to boost his "clout".

[jenniturtleburger]

Being addicted to drugs is expensive, but bing addicted to gambling is REALLY expensive.

[mikemurphy]

He made the YouTube video hoping someone would help him payback the victims. Literally that’s how much of a narcissist he is.

[russellsmith]

as a watch guy... i was waiting for this lol

[clandestineworm]

I'm glad the dude is in jail, now he doesn't have to keep up appearances. Since that was stressing him out he should be chill in jail.😂

[ParanoidFook]

I live in Scottsdale Arizona and there are plenty of people running around and portraying themselves as a lot more than they are. We call it the Scottsdale syndrome. In other words, lots of fake millionaires driving around in their leased cars, and then they drive home to their trailer houses. I see it every day at the stop signs lol

[aperson]

He picked the wrong store and wrong woman to mess with.

Also imagine trying to be a conman with 60iq

[AgentSmith]

I had a neighbor who drove a $300K car and owned a $900K boat, turns out he was millions in debt and owed millions in taxes and was a tax evader. So when you see people flaunting their wealth, it's not always the case.

[kpmmsupervision]

My Casio watch is 13 years old and cost me 180 dollars. Works like a charm! I love it.

[lisabrightly]

When he gets out of prison he's going to sell his story to Netflix and get right back to being rich again.

[louminati]

You forgot the part of TPG’s past where he was a male on male masseuse. He literally tugged his way into these wealthy peoples lives.

[andrewhosfeld]

A $5M debt he says. Its not theft its “debt”. FFS 🤦‍♂️ Claiming he “hit rock bottom” while identifying it as “debt” isn’t achieving rock bottom clarity which is needed. Maybe in jail this realization will come to pass.

"LIFE JUST HASN'T BEEN FUN LATELY it cant be fun when your scams getting uncovered

[lmrerlc]

Who has a 200k watch stolen and is to busy to file a police report?
