Became aware of this fellow on YouTube after police carried out a vehicle seizure:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gm5PZqYeYhc&t=...

Apparently the keeper of vehicle manages a gym and sells bodybuilding supplements. Couple of vlogs that caught my attention:

18k GBP cash:

8k GBP cash:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62D7zMxKu5M

Do we think this guy is legit? Marketing genius?

Guess the key part is getting a base of followers providing it's straight. Gut feeling it all seems a little too good to be true though.

I was involved in the gym world until earlier this year and most people with bags of cash kept outside the bank were selling more than memberships.... Even a small backstreet gym could make 200 - 300k a year in gear sales

If he sells to other gyms in bulk then why not?

He would be a bit daft to show everything he has in them videos knowing he is under the microscope without being legit.

This is going to be an interesting saga. I never caught why they seized his car though?

Police or bailiffs? If the latter he just didn't pay a bill.

no idea. He mentions something about having 'previous for firearms' though.

Probably steroids. High profit margin just like any other illegal drug.
