No, I haven't made near the amount he has, but I am of a character that wouldn't want to be wealthy if it meant the money was collected (not earned) from mostly-young males who have been lied to. It's shameful.
I know there are many who don't give a rat's ass about cheating others. You sound to be one of them.
Ethics and character are valued commodities in a world full of humans of low worth.
And bitter? No, but I am pissed that companies like MuscleTech have quickened the destruction of an industry in which I once worked. And damaged, emotionally and financially, so many good people.
Yes, I do tell my tale whenever the opportunity presents itself (this is the only bodybuilding board I engage on, though, just so you know). If I can inflict even a smidgen of damage on these scam companies, I am all for it.
You're a person who values collecting money above any considerations of ethics, character or honesty.
Justify it any way you want. You're a low-quality individual.
"Low-quality" individual, LOL. What does that mean exactly?
I doubt Gardiner quickened the destruction of the industry as you put it. Your industry was rotten from the start- do you remember Weider Formula no7? The one with Arnold in the front? The one that could make you gain "1 pound of mass per day?" That was 1972 mate. Forty years ago. Was your industry less corrupt then? Doesn't a sizable portion of your industry cater to the homoerotic fascination with young virile male bodies? What do you make of that, "Fortress"?
You act as if separating a person from a small amount of money is a mortal sin. Newsflash: they would have spent on some other useless shit- people make money, they need to spend it someplace. Instead of the protein powder they could have a bought cigarettes for a couple of weeks, instead they got something that at least may act through the placebo effect and help maintain consistency in the gym, which is the main issue anyway.
What strict moral standards you have, o beacon of weightlifting morality, o paladin of bodybuilding truth! And how lonely it must be up there in your ivory tower

Raymondo, out!
