I definitely found it alarming. Don't get me wrong. With negative reviews like that, I'd be weary of doing business with anyone, and online reviews do help in the decision making process. However, I also think that if there were that many people being ripped off by such a public figure, who appears easy to find, then why has there not been any legal action? For people who are Libertarian, Anarchist, or anti-government in general, I believe smear campaigns help steer followers away easily. I'm definitely not trying to defend him or anyone else who are scam artists. But I do hope that further digging either proves without a doubt that he is a scammer, or clears him from charges like that. I just find it difficult to believe that people could lose thousands of dollars and there not be a legal trail or much more public drama since he's very mobile and public in many of his events. I personally have not found any legal evidence. Maybe you will? The Galt's Gulch drama has been going on forever, and he did release his side of the story and many people besides Jeff seem to be going after Ken Johnson, who is the man making accusations in one of the videos in this post. You can see what he said here: https://dollarvigilante.com/blog/2015/12/07/whatever-happened-to-galts-gulch-chile.html . One thing I will say about the GG incident, is Jeff definitely spread the word on that and probably drew in a ton of customers. In some ways, even if accidentally he's at least responsible for exposing GG to new people who may have lost money. Nonetheless, just as Jeff provided some legal documentation about the charges against those in the GG scam, I would really like to see legal documentation from many of these people who are voicing claims. Good luck with your findings.
