How I Survived Supermax Prison 

The guy is a total POS!! He targeted elderly people, took their money and went MIA. I have no respect for people like this.

As a criminal I can for sure say without doubt “one does not just move super max to super max” for no reason 😂😂😂

Bro, you're a natural interviewer. You don't go on and on about bs, ask the questions you know the viewers want to ask, and let the person talk. Great job.

Read up on this guys case. He wasn’t some innocent person not knowing he was doing wrong. He was charged with fraud for taking money and not doing the work. 10 families were screwed out over $600,000. He’s not being honest at all.

Okay, it didn't make sense why he was getting treated so harshly until looking up his story on different sites. Hard to have much sympathy for anyone taking advantage of the elderly and their bank accts.

22 minutes in - he’s just finishing the contractor jobs because he has so much pride and cares so much about his clients - gets arrested yet seems to be the only person in history who isn’t told why there arrested - over the months and months doesn’t seem to have the most basic understanding of our legal system Crime- arrest-court In that order Sleeps 15 minutes a day for 4 months which is literally impossible - prison guards didn’t explain the rules to him - he became a business mentor - he won’t compromise his principles for anything I haven’t heard him say he’s done 1 thing wrong ……

I don't understand how someone can be so desperate for a contractor that they hire someone who is under indictment and about to go to jail for construction fraud.

After spending time in prison for his own wrong doings this guy still can’t take accountability for his actions.

There are SOOOO many holes in this guy’s story. He glosses over ALL of the details about where the money actually went. He quickly found out that playing ignorant doesn’t work as a defense in the court of law. Yet, now he’s playing ignorant in the interview.

A 2 second Google search tells this dudes real story. He took money from old people, didn't finish the work and wouldn't take their calls. He's fos

This guy doesnt know if his dad who was in court with him had a lawyer- seems he doesnt care much about anyone except himself, 2nd the phone recordings at the county jail caught him saying he hopes to put most the blame on his dad. If that was me i would be doing everything to keep him out and take the sentence myself. Unbelievable, hes a complete liar

Ian, I found your channel a few weeks ago and found a couple other personalities through your channel. I really enjoy your style man. Quality work also. Thanks for sharing your experience and bringing others to light. Appreciate you man.

Dude treated his court case like an imbecile. I don't know how it took so long for him to get busted.

This dude literally went out and robbed people and didn’t finish the work and it’s really sitting here playing the fucking victim. Unbelievable.

You’re doing awesome Ian! Wishing you the success you deserve!

As a contractor myself, something ain’t adding up here after the first 5 minutes of this interview..

seems weirdly nonchalant about getting his dad a 7 year sentence.

Something is not right about this guy and case!!! I think hes full shit! Theres something more to this..

Great job Ian, Ryan had some really good information about the system and how they are in it for profit. Keep up the good work.

Dude is leaving out that he scammed 10 elderly victims for almost 800k and in his words '' A lot of money went in my pocket''. Really he was 'shocked'' when he got sentenced . Poor dude was drinking Starbucks and went to jail the same day , what a outrage!!

Great interview...@Ian bick this helps so many families like myself going thru it..with the federal system kudos to you ..

Looked up the court case after 10 minutes of him evading he did anything wrong. He wasn’t “working too fast to get paid and therefor needing money to finish other customers homes.” He was leaving customers homes unfinished, not started, or partially done and the quality of work was abysmal. So either he’s was a scammer or he was just horrible at what he did and he can’t seem to admit either which is super weird.

He sounds like he's lying about how he started 😂

really great interview, thank you both...

Found this channel randomly a few months ago and man your longer interviews are definitely where it’s at!!

Another great interview!

Excellent interview!

I feel like what started his whole career into basically fraud, was that he blew the money off some how. Because if it happened like he explained, then at a certain point he would have eventually been able to level out. If you are taking money from one gig and stacking it on the next gig, and so on and so forth, I just don’t see a scenario where you don’t track your paper trail and eventually get yourself out of the hole somehow, whether it’s a loan or whatever. It’s when you jerk off money and lose track of your stealing that you get to where this guy was. That’s just my honest opinion.

Thanks so much man

He's a pro at playing dumb.

Bro got his dad indicted and he doesn’t even care lol speaks volumes about his character

Crazy story! Thank for sharing.. Im from PA and the system here like many other places is flawed. Glad your home.

Yes and No! Lol So basically this guy just didnt listen to his Dad! I feel like hes hiding something. How are his parents not advising him

I think this guy needed 50 more months and maybe he wouldn't be so high and mighty and be able to accept full responsibility instead of pretending he's better than other inmates.

Great interview Ian.

Put in a super max for looking super jacked!

This guys version of events makes literally no sense and when you read what actually happened... it makes sense why he just mumbled some bullshit to appear like he isn't the bad guy.

I remember seeing this all over. I lived in Levittown and now in philadelphia. Awesome episode

Firstly, salute to both of you gentlemen. Great job. ... I'm from this guys area. His account of the system in Southeast PA is totally accurate. Peace

Saw your interview on Chad Marks' channel and all I could think about was how badly our education system fails us. You had nothing teaching you how to handle business finances and it set you up for failure. Great to see how well you've done with everything man.

I came over here because of JD Delay, and I've been watching some, and i have to say what you're doing is awesome, and I just subscribed 👍

Great interview

absolutely loved this guest

With all due respect, I just do not understand how he was…. So laid back at these criminal charges. No attorney???? Wowwwwzaaaa. I’m thankful that I learned the importance of an attorney far before I’ll ever need one lol

This has quickly become my favorite podcast

Great work guys

Ian! Keep it up!

Come across this channel and this is a great interview. Its long AF but amazingly i watch the entire interview.

Anyone who takes advantage of the elderly deserve a dirt nap.

Another Banger Video Man 💪

SUPERMAX for a white collar crime????? (New Hope is bougie and gay as hell. I'm as gay as an Easter Bonnet and I feel out of place there.)

Having been in construction his story really resonates. Soooo easy to get in his jam.

Great segment, I really enjoyed it. 👍

This dudes story makes it seem like he was unjustly prosecuted. There has to be more than this

Awesome show honey! ❤

My Android Auto autoplays you when I turn my car on - and I got to admit, I haven't listened to music in a bit

Typical sociopath attorney

Over 675k stolen from 9 different people. There’s more to the story there. Now as for the justice system and the prison system. He’s right, it’s unbelievably f’ed up. He did his time and I hope he stays on right track.

I don’t think this guy is being honest about what he did. He wasn’t very clear as to what he was in so much trouble for.

I encourage the folks watching these podcasts Google the interviewees. When you read about their cases you quickly realize how people minimize the damage they caused.

The guy has played stupid all of his life, no concieveable way his lead up story is true.

Ian I love these videos gj

I would give him a modest 35% truthfulness

He is sugarcoating everything. The man was 23. He owned at least 5 clients. So he was selling jobs and spending the money. At age 23, it happened quickly. It's not like he got backed up and it ran away from him that took years. No, no. This man was blowing the payments on himself for sure.

Lied about age, lied about bond amount, 10 minutes in. How odd.

Amazing how he still thinks that he's innocent when he was so guilty that he plead no contest lol

I’ve watched several of these videos and I haven’t seen one yet where they truly take responsibility for their actions

1. No way he didn’t know he was not committing fraud and 2. If he ended up at a super max or high level prison he racked up probably a couple million or more easy.

I was listening in the car and it was starting to sound too much like everyone else’s fault so I looked up the news articles. Great interview on your end, I wish he had answered the questions about motive but the honesty just wasn’t there to begin with.

Congrats on your success Ian! Your hard work is admirable. This podcast has been very interesting & I was hooked after watching one Tik Tok. Not gonna lie though, this one was hard to watch/listen to. He seemed very uninterested in being in this interview. At the beginning there was nothing to hook onto. Quick cut & dry answers, without getting much background. Later he finally gets to talking and giving some detail and it was easier to follow but, the first 3-5 minutes of a video can define the outcome. If it’s not interesting, a lot of people will dip out early. Mad props to him for putting his story out there, I’m sure it’s not an easy thing to do. No hate or trying to bash him. It’s just the lack of effort made this a hard episode to want to watch. If you don’t wanna interview, totally fine, just don’t do it. If you’re gonna do it though, please put in some effort. Remember people are putting in work, & spending money for you to tell your story. Provide them the same effort. Do your research, watch previous interviews to get an understanding of how it’s going to go. If you’re uncomfortable talking about how you grew up, knowing that’s how ALL these interviews start, just simply don’t do it.

Good question bro .

I agree Ian you are a great interviewer. I would like to have heard more about Ryan's wife and kids and how did they cope.

Nice podcast, Great interview skills... I've been locked up many times & understand how the system works & how corrupt things can be. There just seems something is off with his story- the part of him telling the story that led up to being locked up seems off- I don't want to call him a liar because I can't place my finger on what exactly it is, then the 2nd part when he's telling about in prison he seems complete Honest & genuine, 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ EDIT: I JUST READ THE ARTICLES AND BY HIS OWN ADMISSION HE DOESN'T KNOW IF HIS DAD WHOS IN COURT WITH HIM HAS A LAWYER, HOW TF DOESN'T HE KNOW?? BECAUSE HES SELF CENTERED & ONLY CARES ABOUT HIMSELF- ALSO, PRIOR TO SENTENCE RECONSIDERATION HE SAYS ON THE PHONE THAT HE WANTS TO PUT THE BLAME ON HIS DAD. RECORDED JAIL PHONE CALLS. THIS GUY IS NO GOOD..

This dude deserves to still be in prison. Lies lies lie

cant stop watching these podcasts 😂

I do not think any this was in-intenional like hes trying say…i just read news articles he knew exactly what he was doing!

one supermax prison There is only one supermax prison remaining in the U.S. federal prison system, ADX Florence in Florence, Colorado.

My man is from my home town of Levittown, Pa! His story sounds about right for a levittown kid... i didnt do anything wrong, everybody else screwed me over. Savage way to treat his own dad too. Wonder if he still in the L town community lol. Might stop by one of his game with big ole #FreeMyMans sign 😂

The “yes and no” answers don’t look too well man.

First lawyer: "32k And I'll probably get you a much lighter sentence than you would representing yourself." Him: "I'll take my chances!" Also him: "Now that I fuck my life up, I'll spend an exorbitant amount of money on the best lawyer in the county for my reconsideration! All according to plan.."

Any remorse other then getting caught!? Unfortunately even us coming from good families end up taking the wrong path

God Bless You and your family Brother ❤🙏🏻 Proverbs 3 vs 5 & 6

Great podcast man. I did some state time teen/20’s in nc.

corruption at its finest. I'm glad you were able to keep a level head through such an awful experience. Fortunately you were able to stay grounded.

Ian super respect for all the episodes this guy wasn't the one.

It’s not possible to sleep 15 minutes a day for 4 months. Your body would crash after a week or so. You couldn’t even do that on speed without your body crashing.

That’s right you have to adapt…. The choice really boils down to give up or keep going that’s all you have sometimes

Ryan, God bless you brother.... I'm glad to see you bounced back and are doing well.

Rape of minor under 13?!? Why did no one talk about that??

Something is wrong with this story.

I live 5 minutes from Graterford Prison and ride my bike on the Perkiomen Trail that goes right by it. I work at a Wawa near the prison and CO's come in all the time and tell me stories.

A lot of people think they're failures when they make a mistake. But if you learn from your mistakes they're investments.

Great story

Every contractor operates like this.

His first lawyer failed him, this was definitely civil, if the story he told Is the real story. So sad how bad the system fucked him either way? Why was he in super max? Should have been in minimum

Enjoyed the pod but at the end he says restatuition of 650k is quite a bit more than not finishing a few house builds etc

First time I've actually watched a full podcast right through. Normally split it in parts or fall asleep at night. But this podcast was great and loved every second of it. Just a normal bloke that did something stupid. He handled himself well and never got caught up in prison drama.

This dude is the best that relates to guys like myself same look same attitude same work ethic and I don't speak to people just my immediate group

I love this guy

This dude is sketch about something. I can't put a finger on it but just something about the way he answers the questions.
