I can't believe people still follow every boast that he claims. He would have to be the sole provider of gil/items in FFXI for that to be even remotely true. Buying a house off a dead server of 300 people? I mean come on.
Let's start here. My visible 12 characters are essentially nothing to my operation. They are primarily for my own enjoyment, and used for merc ***from time to time if I'm bored or a buyer wants something badly enough to transfer. This much should have been obvious; botting for profit does not require anything near what they have for gear.
So, I'm not limited to a 'dead server of 300 people'. Around 3/4 of my sales come from Asura, but I deliver to every server twice weekly.

Why do you still gloat on these forums Thornyy? There is no way you are making that kind of money solely off this game in this year.
I. Was. Asked. Directly. How. Much. I. Make. Doing. This. I am not here to gloat, I'm just defending myself because I can't provide an honest answer without getting jumped on by every jealous retard.

If that were the case, you would use that botting power for games with higher populations than this one lol.
For the amount of time I spend on this, I don't want to get started on another game until profits dip to a level where I'm not dipping into my returns. XI has a very unique setup where progression can be almost entirely skipped and high value items are derived from braindead content, and let's be honest, I like FFXI.

I'm in no way jealous because at this time I make more than the earnings you claim, I just find it incredibly unbelievable.
Okay. Lowes must have some serious management track, but congratulations on your success. See how easy that is? I expressed my doubt at something I find unlikely without outright assuming it to be so.

Why would you even report your earnings 100% if you were making all that under the table? Very fishy and unbelievable.
Do you even know what that 1099-k form is? It's the form paypal files on my behalf to tell the IRS how much I'm making. Of course I'm going to report it, the IRS already knows I made it. This happens automatically once you reach over a certain volume of sales.

You've been doing this for "over 5 years" but I recall your boasts being the same longer than that.
