He probably violated the terms of the settlement by releasing this. AS we all know now, this guy doesn't have good judgement.

@@Kainotto74 If anything I would suspect him removing it has more to do with him basically admitting to embezzling the money from the company. Which the state could use as evidence if they saw fit to prosecute him, which is unlikely if Jon (and parties) agreed to not be witness to. (likely a condition of the settlement)

Yea facts, he's saying it was his decision but obviously is was his only option otherwise they would have gone to court and yea im sire hed be fully in the wrong. Seems like he knows it tho, but it doesn't make me think hes any less of a scumbag, i bet he knew damn well he was scamming juji lowkey or the company and was just seeing how long he could get away with it.

He down bad. He was the majority share holder he’s pissed

@@Kainotto74 hence why the video was probably taken down or the flak Tom got for basically taking zero accountability and not apologizing got to him.

Yup he would of kept doing the things he did untill he caught

What he even do

Got cought doing what exactly..? Taking money from his own company? It's his company lol what are you lot even talking about 🤣

@@ThatNorwegianGuy- have you even heard the concept of embezzlement ? I think you haven't but maybe you should to avoid any jail time yourself in the future in case you build your own company.

@@ThatNorwegianGuy- He is apologizing. So he knows exactly what he did was wrong.

Heard it was $120k but regardless I wholeheartedly agree dude

Don't forget the 8k trampoline lol

300k total. 120k in cash and 180k in loans

It sucks. Fitness pros have a shelf life, only that business has the power to give them a future past that point. And pulling liquidity, and creating debt with no value (not invested in company), was dooming that future. It’s gross.

I bet he bought GME at 400 lol

@@MortenErCrazy no

@@lebercoatlebercoat1522 You’re wrong.

"guys its not drugs or gambling, i've never threatened anyone, theres heaps of bullshit on the internet guise pls believe me' such a cop out

Never went to court, settled outside of court.

To be fair, if he went... he would have been so screwed. I’m quite sure one of the bargaining chips that Juji used to collect on Tom’s shares was not pressing for criminal charges.

@@Justaguyyoutubin yeah, because the case against him was so strong

@@supernoodles908 Right. Which is an important distinction. He never got "railed in court". He was SO wrong, and so ABSOLUTELY at fault, that he didnt make any attempt to defend his position and forfeited millions of dollars of ownership stakes in intellectual property and business ownership. Big difference. You can lose a court case or you can be so incredibly at fault, that you opt not to even bother defending yourself because they outcome of doing so, would be worse than losing everything you own.

@@Justaguyyoutubin okay dude we get it lol chill the fuck out

Didn't he nearly lose his life in January due to Chrohns disease? I think he went crazy that month and thats what caused him to need to pull for gambling debts January 18th. It started in August, but they tried to get him help then.

@@jongib369 If I recall correctly, the document said that Tom took out the 1st loan in April 2020 (coincidentally the same time Tom took a 'break'). I feel like Juji let that slide cuz he went through a breakup and lost everything, but Tom broke that trust and did it again

@@jongib369 I feel like he had an overdose not chrones outbreak ir whatever he tried to say.

@@kileNoe overdosing on cocaine is pretty difficult... could’ve had some heart issues or something like that, but we’d be speculating. It’s possible. But whatever, the guy is clearly not doing well. I hope he smartens up and truly acknowledges that he’s done some bad shit... maybe one day he’ll be able to make amends with juji.

I'm just worried that all this and his isolation from Juji, who was clearly a positive influence, will cause Tom to do something terrible like take his own life.

at what point did you get the misconception that tom has a good life? it's pretty obvious from all of his videos with juji that he's got a bad case of depression and some serious problems going on.

I saw this coming years ago, Tom would put him down constantly

I don't think you understand how much money Jujis channel was pulling in. Prolly near a milly if not more. What Tom supposedly "embezzled" is chump change. Anyone can see that Juji took an informal situation, where Tom was just trying to get his fair share, and involved the law to squeeze Tom out of everything. He legal eagled Tom, becoming a true Smeagol.

@@ChurchOfThought nice try Tom, we know you're a selfish weasel.

@@Ian-yf7uf If you look at his channel. You can clearly see that this isn't Tom.

He doesn't owe the world an apology. Only his former friend.

@@shweddedglowy yea but all of us wanna see an apology vid cause 2021 😂

Why would he be sorry ? He took money from his OWN company? Whaaaaat 🤣 it's his f***ing money lol

@@ThatNorwegianGuy- It wasn't intentional, though! No, this situation sucks, hopefully everybody involved can move on from this.

@@ThatNorwegianGuy- I don't think it was just his company tho

Playing devil's advocate here.. but have you thought it was "scripted" so that he said everything he wanted to without getting too emotional and saying something else he'd regret? People are being assholes. He screwed up, yes, but hopefully he learns from this, seeks help, and gets better. You're taking the wrong message from the whole situation.

"you could tell that stemmed from Tom needing the approval of others to define his self worth." Oh, good! A self help guru! You do NOT know what either of them have been through. You sound like you've never had insecurities in your entire life, so how could you speak about them? You're adding to the unnecessary pain, rather than helping. Thanks for the armchair analysis, though. I've dealt with people like you my entire life through all my struggles. I can promise that your way of thinking isn't helpful.

He got mad because he did all the edits too not just film but he's still a d bag

It was always awkward with Tom being to goofy with other weight lifters

I never really liked Tom but he certainly did a lot more than just filmed things. He was a huge part of the channel.

Yup I'm late to this but yup

what did tom do im late to the party

@@cam-kq7wz yeh i seen all the news now, how dare he use money that his company makes haha, the guy turned jujis channel into pro edited clips now tossed to the side, he did also use money to pay of his tax debt which im surprised wasnt already handled by juji and the team shows me now one was really looking out for tom

This, combined to that time when he was a bit of a crybaby, which led Juji to rename the channel Juji & Tom (and the video that came with it) makes me believe this guy is very entitled.

@@g-funk484 Your comment is one of the stupidest things I've ever had the displeasure of reading. First of all, it wasn't "his company". Grip Genie was owned by three separate but equal owners who had agreed to consult with each other before any major company funds were spent. Second of all, just because you are a part owner of a company does not mean that it's legal for you to fucking embezzle money out of the company. I hope you're not involved in the management of an companies funds because you clearly have a suspect moral compass and can't be trusted. Last of all; it's not the companies issue that Tom didn't save enough to pay for taxes. The dude was making out like a bandit and being paid a huge salary; yet lived way above his means and wasted money that should have been saved for the tax man. That's not Grip Genies fault and they don't deserve to have money stolen out of the companies funds to pay for Tom's personal mistakes. Anyone who thinks differently is a clown.

hahaha, we could all see it years ago. Now we can finally re-sub to John's channel :)

"where's your mommy lil' boy!"

Jujis channel is dead let’s be honest

Lol. Jewish behavior

What did you want him to do, the ones he need to apologize to are behind the scenes, not to the fucking internet, and this isnt 10 minutes after the event, watch the video again, he apologized many times, do you want him to spell the word sorry for 10 minutes in front of the camera? This is typical in the internet, people want apology videos when someone makes a big mistake, then after some time that person makes an apology video, and the random idiots on the internet: "i didnt like that apology video, apologize harder and the way i want it or it doesnt count", seems to be like no matter who it is or the case every internet apology video will have idiots saying "crocodile tears" "fake apology" as if they knew the person. Have you stopped to notice that people like you are just garbage humans who love throwing rocks at people? this kind of behaviour i see in every apology video and it convinces me ppl like you are way worst than the person making the apology video. Reflect a little bit, youre not a corrective judge of society.

Tom didn't write the title of this KZfaq video. Why do people have a hard time understanding this?

@@jumpinjohnnyruss ...what about this comment suggests it's directed at Tom himself and not the person who titled the video?

Tom didn't say that it was an apology. The owner of this KZfaq channel did.

Same! I hadn’t really watched them since it changed to Juji and Tom, because Tom became overbearing. Juji was the reason that I watched in the first place, and to me, it seemed like Tom always demanded the spotlight. Even when Tom was in Magnus’ videos, I couldn’t watch for long. Guess I’ve never understood his appeal.

Yeah! I always thought that he was the friend leeching off the person with a personality. He's boring by himself and comes off creepy and clingy... Like the dude would spend hours at a married man's house. Dude it just comes off clingy/cringy and weird

I always feel that any apology that requires you to have a script is bullshit

Same, I unsubscribed from their channel when they changed the channel name because I was annoyed with Tom, but now I am back.

Hahaha, yeah the whole name change thing was very very strange. The whole video was Tom trying to tell us how important and under appreciated he was. It even felt like Juji was waiting for cues on when he was supposed to speak lol. Juji doesn’t have the best poker face. The whole thing was to inflate Toms ego. Not sure why Juji went along with it, but hey, here we are.

it's amazing how people will still defend him for that, those are the same people that would've done the same in the given situation and they're just mad that one of their own got fucked up for it.

It's not definitely admitting guilt.

Probably all the people calling him out for being a giant piece of shit

yup he hid all the videos on the channel.

What happened? I was catching content from 2 years ago

Y'all better download this one as well for posterity before he comes after this video and gets it removed.

Just know that it was of his own making. Don’t take advantage of your friends, don’t allegedly embezzle from your company, and don’t become an allegedly abusive jerk and you’ll be fine. Keep making the positive changes. You can do it!

Just don't follow celebrities so much, and take what's good out of them. They are showing a very curated side of them in order to sell you stuff or content, just don't praise them as if you really know them, just get inspired by their good work. If this moron inspired you to start a body transformation then that's a good thing you took out of it, and it doesn't really matter if the guy ended up revealing as a rat

Yeah bro, it was nice to have a "normal" dude in the fitness industry for once, to follow his journey while doing ours. Really sad

hey, his progress was 100% real, dont shit on yourself by shitting on his progress. it takes a lot of work to change, ESPECIALLY for him, whos got Crohns disease and all. if you improved, good on ya. doesnt mean you gotta embezzle 100k from friends OR go back to being fat and sorry lmao. Take what fuels you and leave peoples shit behind.

Stop looking up to e-celebs.

@@Justaguyyoutubin As a guy who wears skinny jeans (the stretch kind 🤨☝️) I take offense to this... But it's still hilarious. Lol. Tom was totally that guy.

Indeed, anyone helping him at this point is damaging his mentality. He needs to suffer the consequences to truly understand what he did wrong.

​@@FreerunnerDave"He's only human" - what's the meaning of this phrase? What else CAN you be? A cat? A raindeer? A talking gorilla? A zebra?

I don't see anyone patting him on the back. It is more the tone of, we are all humans and make mistakes. Take care of yourself, learn from your mistakes, stay positive, get better, etc. Honestly, pretty easy to tell the mature from immature in this comment section by how quick people are to judge with no information and to assume the worst or simple say hateful things.

Juji was way "crazier" and funnier than Tom. It wasn't until I'd say about 2019 that Juji started to chill and mellow out. Focused more on quality of life content and new passions. Like his books, collabs, diet, and training videos. Tom is honestly forgettable for me. He kinda reminds me of "that kid" that'll invite himself to everything, and gets upset when nobody acknowledges him.

@@hay466 You do know that Tom did the editing and more then once got called out because he edited the video to include all his snurky comments and jokes so that he seems cool.

Coming from a long time fan of the channel, that's isn't claiming to have seen this coming, Describing Tom as moody is not wrong, it was always clear that he has depression, he would always put himself down, while constantly trying to show off at the same time, most people with narcissism develop it, because they can't deal with the feeling like they are completely worthless. Tom needs a lot of mental help, most people do, sadly we all don't get it. not that, that excuses what he has done.

all the videos have been deleted

@Jay Eifler I mean that's irrelevant. I'm saying Tom's defense of "I took money from my company... I am majority stakeholder..." etc. is ridiculous, because it's still embezzlement, you're stealing from other people with stakes in the company.

@@zaynmalice7106 from my understanding, yes it is. And even if it isn't, they had a contract stating that all business decisions and money taken from the company by one party needed to be given the green light by the other two parties. Ownership percentage only effected shares of the profits.

Yea Tom was half of the channel. And the one who was doing all the work behind the scenes. Until reading these comments i never realized how toxic are Jujis fans.

Me neither

Its not even Sam. Its Juji, Tom, and a woman named Erin. She was Tom's friend who owned iirc 10% of Grip Genie and over the years took on a more managerial role in the company. Like, she got into this situation via her friendship with Tom. And still was part of the civil suit against him.

i had a pet weasel. it was nice, funny little furball. Please dont compare sweet weasel to a lying , stealing dickhead.

Release anything at this point and youll be showered with kisses by your remaining followers and build back up from there. Its smart. In this case it may not work because Tom was just the cameraman and wont have many devote followers. Some people liked him, lots didnt but even those that did just viewed him as a side character in Jujis movie.

@@Justaguyyoutubin I dunno, man, there's a few people in the comments here who reckon Tom was the Golden Goose in this situation, and/or that this happened because Sam went all Lady Macbeth on Juji (even though she's not actually involved in the case besides being a witness to one incident)

@@llamaczech Sure, and theyd be wrong. You dont walk away from millions of dollars of ownership stakes you have in a business and your claim to intellectual property by settling outside of court if you have a reasonable argument.
