Some more info from the latest Theo and Harris video. Christian comments customers not only got up and left but some dumped their investment in the watches. Christian also says he's received "risky pictures and videos" of Journe before, and apparently gets too drunk and "fun". He also aludes to racist comments imo by saying "his age and culture is not in necessary concert with modern times". Interesting stuff.

Still confused why nobody will say what he said. If it was racist why not expose him? They did say they didn't exactly know what was said at the dinner but feels like BS to me.Christian ends the video saying he would recommend to his friends that if you have hundreds of thousands of dollars in Journe to sell

A few reasons to that. It’s going to generate more content and clicks by dragging this shit out long term, so for the YouTubers or content creators who make their living off of making watch content, the longer they talk about this by slowly releasing the info the better.

Also, the watch industry is fucking weird, with most brands and individuals being oddly shuttered and extremely secretive, so the people who know this info probably do not want to directly come out and say what they heard, in fear of their identity being outed and being blacklisted in the industry. Not even exaggerating saying this but FPJ in particular will literally blacklist customers for selling their watches. They expect them to buy and keep forever, and if you ever sell, ESPECIALLY if it’s a limited production piece, you will never buy from them again.

They likely just don't know the details. It's all second- or third-hand rumour to them too.
