GunSmoke in deep shit.

I get that a business owner could have this going on, but supposedly his name is not on anything. Ok, this is fine too, no business, no income, no taxes. But now explain the house and the condos.

$ saved from previous years. Cashing out investments. Inheritance.

The latter two would require a declaration on taxes...

I was hoping that place would get theirs!

He's done man. They're going to chew him up and spit out what's left in a few years.

He came to our campus for a dinner a few months back... Rich asked if I would like to talk to him (after finding out I was one of the gunsmithing students), I said no, and laughed as I walked away.........

The show itself was largely staged. Like the majority of the shows on Discovery, these days are staged to some degree.

1. There isn't a workshop in or under the main store
2. Many of the guns, silver, motorcycles, hookers traded on the show for other shit, were never sold, never part of any collection, was really just TV
3. Rich actually is a fairly knowledgeable gunsmith, but he has diarrhea of the mouth so often you don't know what is real or what is shit.
4. The guy does have money, though there is a real chance the IRS is going to take it for a ride.

I know people that really like the guy. I have had 5 different conversations with the man. Two of them were really positive, three of them caused me to wonder what planet he lived on.

the reality is the lines of fact and fiction have been so blurred with the guy, and so many people have had completely different expereinces with him, it makes you wonder if he has some sort of personality disorder

This sounds exactly like a guy I went to college with, back east. He's actually quite smart, but is a habitual exaggerator, if it's not an outright lie. His first impression is always positive to folks who just meet him, so he actually does get some interesting opportunities quite often, but he can never make much out of them because of oral diarrhea. It's always just a matter of time with people like that... I'm certain my old classmate has a personality disorder. Absolutely positive.

Maybe he'll auction off a few family members to get square with Uncle Sam. I should start saving nickels... ;-)

[alxone]

not a fan of gun smoke , its staff , or its business practices
one less shady dealer out there ,not a loss but a gain towards a better community of gun owners

The only contact I ever had with Wyatt was his elbow in my ribs as he and the giraffe pushed by me to talk to his buddy Will from Sons of Guns at SHOT 2012. Just a bit rude...from what others have said, it seems he can be very nice when he wants to be...
