Thread 81! The scam that keeps on giving! MLM, network marking, social selling or whatever else you want to call it. It rinses you of your money, time and friends for the dream of wealth, which never happens. Why? The business model ensures that only those at the very top of the 'pyramid' stand a chance of wealth, all the rest of us just "pay to play". The dream is a nightmare. Tell your stores here.

Is Wig pregnant? The way she is holding her stomach in the Dubai photos looks rather deliberate.

I can’t stop watching Knitted Headband now I’ve started, the level of cringe is high. The twee hashtag she uses to describe herself makes zero sense, I’m sure she must have ‘Live, Laugh, Love’ on the wall in her house somewhere.

Only just worked out who Sleaze is from the recent posts. Is Wig his wife/girlfriend?

She is indeed that lucky lady.

@MrsGlennBulb I love your user name. I’ve just rewatched Nighty Night and your DH Mr Glenn Bulb is a highlight of it.

Wig and Sleaze; I have to really brace myself to read their posts and glance at Sleaze’s Poundland entrepreneur photos. The only upside is his frequent Freudian slips such as the “con” mentioned above.

Normally Wig controls the photos with heavy and cartoonish use of filters and Yawn’s stepladder approach but if someone else is snapping away it’s tricky. Part of Wig and Sleaze “escaping the matrix” that the rest of us sheep are trapped in, was Sleaze telling us all he was a cleaning eating, super fit, Zen like model of human physical perfection as was Wig. I think Wig is probably aware that both of them have not managed to keep this up.

If she’s pregnant that’s going to be a huge problem as wheeling a buggy really slows you down when you’re trying to run away from bailiffs/crypto crooks/police/Ponzi bosses/DWP/HMRC/assorted creditors.

Sugarplum48 · 26/02/2024 13:04

Oh ffs sleaze and wig are in tiktok. He's ironically telling people not to get scammed by crypto scammers. I nearly spat my jammy dodger out!

I actually LOL’d! 😂😂 I find them the most intriguing and entertaining (not to mention disturbing!) Some of the messages from Wig are just bizarre - like they’ve been regurgitated from a mumbo jumbo word salad robot! She says an awful lot about “leading with love” and “escaping the matrix” without saying anything concrete at all!

There was a hilarious drunken live they did during lockdown (in their Central London mogul phase - operating out of a tiny dingy basement room with a fire hazard of wired up crypto mining computers).. Anyway, Sleaze said “I know you all fancy her”! 😫🤣🤣

Also, I get weird vibes from them in some exchanges with their SA bots - he was saying something like “welcome to Africa in Dubai”. I could be wrong but pseudo colonial vibes!

MrsGlennBulb · 26/02/2024 15:43

I’m pretty certain Wig & Sleaze are in the Hampton by Dubai airport - rooms start at £40 a night. Living it large not.

PieonaBarm · 26/02/2024 16:25

Isn't Wig a Grandmother? Not that I'm not suggesting she couldn't get still get pregnant but I sense she is older than she cares to admit!

Imagine that, a Wig/Sleaze hybrid child. I shudder at the thought!

YouOKHun · 26/02/2024 17:02

@PieonaBarm yes she is a grandmother. She’s 46 according to the newspaper reports about her and Sleaze’s Covid antics from 2021 that quote her age as 43 at the time. Sleaze is a year younger. Imagine having them as parents or grandparents? I notice Sleaze’s son seems to have distanced himself.

SunflowerVibes · 26/02/2024 17:20

Shudder at the thought of having them as parents/grandparents! Wig’s eldest seems a case of apple not falling from tree as have seen her ranting on posts defending Wig re accusations of scamming/ anti covid lockdown antics. As for Sleaze - I think he’s a grandpa too - someone posted a comment about that, which was deleted swiftly…
Seems his son has distanced himself and I’m sure he has his own valid reasons!

Wow, only 46?!! 😵‍💫 She could pass for much older but I think it’s the theatrical wig and strange 80s style “attempted power dressing”!

Sleaze’s health warrior phase was hilarious but I think that was to coincide with his friendship/grifting with the toxic nurse. Whatever happened to her?!

YouOKHun · 26/02/2024 17:55

@SunflowerVibes I expect Son of Sleaze found the whole Covid denial followed by anti NHS, attacks on mask wearing children and parents at the school gates, followed by the promotion of Toxic Nurse all very hard to take given Son of Sleaze’s relatively recent evidence based treatment for his heart courtesy of the NHS.

Of course Sleaze has conveniently forgotten his own treatment for, I believe, a similar heart problem. He didn’t want to escape the matrix then did he? Nor did he want to escape the matrix enough to stop receiving benefits.

His crusade is very poorly thought through and he’s had a terrible time with his Covid denying comrades generally not liking his Ponzi robber mates. So tricky being a Man of the People while simultaneously going through their wallets.

SunflowerVibes · 26/02/2024 18:40

Yes, there have been frequent messages of disappointment and discontent from the anti-lockdown crew to his crypto grifts - both concepts don’t seem to fit well, which has probably confounded our hero!

When he was hanging out with Coco the Clown during lockdowns, i reckon they thought that it would be a ripe ground for recruitment for their grifts but actually, much of the anti lockdown contingent see crypto as succumbing to the matrix as opposed to escaping it.

Wow, hadn’t realised that history about his son, no wonder he’s keeping his distance. Sad thing that Sleaze’s questionable life choices have meant he’s missing out on the joy of his grandchild - on any interpretation, that is truly sad.

Wig might be in her late forties, she is clearly a smoker or ex smoker, you could strike a match on her face.

She sure hasn’t mastered the art of dressing to flatter your shape! That length of dress is doing her no favours in view of being fuller limbed with her legs.

Spongebobette · 26/02/2024 19:20

‘Fuller limbed’ 🤣

BangingOn · 26/02/2024 20:12

The fuller stomached and fuller limbed theory is a far nicer thought that the alternative. I’d wondered about her age too, although the wig adds years.

Does anyone know what has happened to Broke bot? I can’t find him but know he changes name often.

NormalForNuneaton · 26/02/2024 21:32

I've just had a quick search for Broke but can't find anything since an updated profile picture in July last year.

It seems that when he got engaged both he and his fiancée stopped posting or locked down their social media pages or got Facebook bans .

BangingOn · 26/02/2024 21:41

I hope this means he’s got an actual J.O.B. and started supporting his children through legitimate means, but I realise I’m probably naive.

judgementfail · 27/02/2024 06:39

Clue for knitted headband? I'm lost with that one.

judgementfail · 27/02/2024 06:44

Broke went off the radar when he shacked up with seemingly normal and nice new fiancé after he got some new Turkey Teeth.

Having said that though he's the king of FB jail and he's been known to take over various girlfriends accounts or create new accounts in a distant version of his name to shill whatever crap is his flavour of the month

thetemptationofchocolate · 27/02/2024 10:15

I've just caught up with the 'Leaders on Tour' pics. The audience look freezing - they all have their coats & scarves on. Was there no heating? Or were they relying on hot air from the speakers?

PieonaBarm · 27/02/2024 10:16

Broke being Broke might be in actual jail as opposed to just Facebook jail. It wouldn't surprise me at all!!

No posts from Weird Willy since 6th February since his last post about narcissism got no interaction whatsoever.
