naw, but now we also see that he was just ripped off for his wife.

Tell me with a straight face that their relationship was going to last regardless

Nah, I'm thinking that this whole situation is karma.

I empathize with anyone whose important 'significant other' cheats and leaves, but this guy left a lot of room for me to not care about his personal life based on his business life.

Sympathy vs schadenfreude.

The smirk on my face would signal no

I hope Crain and Mr. Black Flag can show up in a Jerry Springer show.  I'd be in the live audience if that ever happens 

I think we are more likely to see some convention videos where Crain shows up with Black Flags wife and he pulls a Will Smith on Crain.

 yeah they are..

"Sounds like an Ultimate Fallout" made me literally lol. 

That was my personal favourite too...with "C2E2 2022, the gift that lasts forever" or something to that effect, being a close second

		Justice is raped
		Justice is gone
		Pulling your strings
		Justice is done
		Seeking no truth
		Winning is all
		Find it so grim
		So true
		So real

		Winning is all
		Find it so grim
		So true
		So real

Someone needs to tell him that his wife is not an object that can be stolen. She's a person with free will.

He knows.

It's in the video.

Considering what happened, I can not.

According to him they were about to celebrate their 20th anniversary.  A lot of relationships do not last that long.

Also hanging around and having a bunch of followers who use "Dude" and "Bro" almost assured something like this was inevitable.

Pretty sure any friendship has ceased to exist at this point.

hey if George Harrison can be cool with it...

After the "fight me" post I saw on FB that lasted all of 10 mins before it was removed.  This is much more of a Harrison Ford / Chewbacca situation.

Nope, they made bad choices as a company.  It is much more than just him making those choices.  Now this is one side of a multi-sided story.  The other sides being his wife, Crain, and everyone else on the outside's perspective.  Each one is their own version of a truth in some fashion.

Like Capra, I empathize, to a point

Reality is, that relationship was most likely over years ago

However, wtf do I know? We all can only speculate. 

Situations like this can be truly crippling, but karma? Perhaps

I don't know the Black Flag owner from a stranger on the street or about his relationship with the people that were / are in his life.
I don't agree with his business practices.

What I do know is that video was a 'cry for help'.

Males account for 75% of total suicides.
In the US, one male commits suicide every 15 minutes.
https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/talking-about-men/202109/the-silent-crisis-male-suicide

This isn't something often discussed in this space, but I do think we should realize that it happens.
To say that what is happening to him is karma is one opinion, but it diminishes the overall conversation that he needs help.

P.S.
Check on your friends...

Haven't watched the video but yes, Clayton Crain sounds like a real piece of work.

But another man doesn't just 'steal' another man's wife. She's a human being and can make her own decisions. She's just as much as a rotten human being as Crain. Maybe even more so. No telling what lies she told Crain about her marriage, etc.

I’ve been wondering about this for about a month and I guess now we know what “circumstances” are.
 

I’m looking forward to the next time the wife and I have “circumstances.”

Agreed. It’s easy to claim Karma, however a person who knows he’s in the public eye doing what would be hugely uncomfortable and humiliating is likely a cry for help like you said. All snarkiness aside, I hope his friends and family can help him get through it.
 

The poor guy probably can’t look to the internet for my comfort since he’s being lambasted for his business actions - but I’m going to have a little sympathy here for him.

Good luck, Black Flag dude.

[FlyingDonut]

Separate the C2E2 thing from this marriage dissolving. They've got kids, she ran off with a friend of his, it's terrible. I hope this guy gets help.

[F For Fake]

It's not surprising when shady people act shadily, even to each other. I can only imagine how CGC heads feel right now...just when it seemed like this thing was finally going to blow over, and they could get away without having to come clean on their pay-to-grade monkey business, the story comes roaring back to life! Lie down with dogs, wake up with fleas, CGC.

The discussion of his poor decision-making diminishes the conversation how?
