Hey there, I have a new story for you. Last November, I interviewed the world’s most notorious luxury watch dealer Anthony Farrer a.k.a. “The Timepiece Gentleman” while he was on the run from the FBI. He showed me the storage locker behind Gold’s Gym in Venice, California where he was stashing his stuff. Hours later, FBI agents stormed the storage locker and arrested him there. But I left with one crazy story. You can read it here in Insider (paywalled).
