During my coversation with Eddie Roman I took detailed notes. Eddie said when Lang realized he wasn't making up enough money to pay his bills he told Eddie he was going to start this Millionaire's Club where for 25K gamblers could talk to him personally and get his super big releases. Eddie said he'd go along wth it on two conditions. Lang was to service all these people and he had to report the games he was giving to these clients to Eddie before they started. Eddie even helped Brandon out by telling his biggest clients about this "ultra rare" and "super expensive but highly successful package". They wanted 25K out of each client but Eddie said maybe 1 or 2 paid the whole fee up front and another 1 or 2 paid 5K or 10K and would pay more as they won. Well to start off Lang started posting some 3-0 days without reporting the games to Eddie. Eddie started getting all kinds of complaints from the few clients and faders. We know and Eddie susected Lang was making up results. We'll after a few weeks Eddie finally got about 7 to 8 of these "Millionaire games" before they started and Lang went something like 1-6 on these games and Lang got pissed and ended the Millionaire Club. Lang posted some bullshit record in these club games of something like 31-6 with almost 1,000 fake dimes of profit when in reality they were like 2-10 or 3-10. Lang abruptly ended the Millionaire Club and these 3-4 Millionaire Club clients were left holding the bag. They got no more games and didn't get their money back. Lang changed his cell phone number and those few clients were calling Eddie for months wanting their money back. Lang neither returned a penny or did he ever return any of those clients calls or handle their complaints. This is when he knew his relationship with Lang was doomed to failure. I'll give a few more choice stories asthe day goes by and I have more time.
I would feel bad for those 'clients' (if they really existed). But I find it hard to believe anyone would fork over $25K, or even $5-10K, upfront without doing due diligence on Lang. If true, those people deserved to lose their money. A simple google of "BRANDON LANG" nets you all you need to know about this guy. Roman too. I have not had any conversations with Roman - but he HAD to know what he was getting into. I actually believe you talked with him, and believe he stated what you are reporting (because if you actually just made this all up - you need a better hobby - and I don't think you would do this). However, and it's pure speculation on my part, I find it likely that after a year, Roman is so pissed he's just raking Lang over the coals. Let's face one thing up front - this industry is FILLED WITH LIARS. Roman included. The whole 'industry' is a scam, built not on picking winners, but rather on picking people's pockets. So I'd take it with a grain of salt when Roman feeds you this line that he was some sort of 'victim'. While I have no doubt he lost money in his relationship with Lang, I hardly think Roman was some "Good Samaritan" who had no idea what Lang was going to do with that dumb club. A six year old could have snuffed that out. And if what Roman says is 100% true, than he's dumber than I could have believed.
Me? My guess is Lang screwed Roman over, owes him a ton of money, and Roman has taken his bad relationship and embellished it to make himself look better - while feeding all the Lang haters. It's done to position himself to SELL. At the end of the day, I honestly believe that's all ANY of these guys do.
That said, by all means, PLEASE keep posting the notes and emails/texts. It's very entertaining. It's kind of an inside look into the world of scumbags. Thanks for posting this stuff!
