Right. Looks like he has taken large funds of money in UST.
Here's one screenshot that one of his customers shared in the forum: https://prnt.sc/TmkyRD8qyl6s (source).
Where the heck is Sartre?

his knowlege is legit, I took tons of notes on his journey threads and it has improved my workflow immeasurably. I don't think anyone's questioning his knowledge, its more the business ethics side of things.

Unfortunately it looks like a case of a scam exit.
There are many scammers giving classes, being treated as gods and gurus on youtube, they have a lot of knowledge and being smart in a subject does not mean being honest.
In the AI niche many things have changed in recent times and continue to change, it is possible that simply his service is becoming more and more unnecessary (and unprofitable), in the same way as Jarvis, it is more worthwhile to go directly to Chat GPT than to invest thousands of dollars buying his services.

That guy who posted could've been him; he wanted to buy himself more time.
I know at least of two more people who spent 13k each on his services.
He can teach "scamming" to all other scammers, to be honest, gotta appreciate the depth of all this.

100% looks suspect. His only post on the forum is that thread and then Sartre replies in what looks like a post to make himself look legit and trustworthy.

The thing is what he was selling here:
1. Ready-made AI websites, with a promise of getting into MV in 6 months. The promise didn't come true...
2. A lifetime access to a database of websites with metrics. Maybe he knew why he was selling a lifetime access for $800, instead of monthly access for $40. Because he knew the "lifetime" won't be that long
. Actually this "lifetime access" appeared in online scams in the past. 3. Aged domains, but I do not think that was his best seller by a long shot (many sellers of expired/aged domains here or elsewhere already, whereas the other two services were quite unique).
But in the very core Sartre was selling the same thing all truly exceptional salesmen do sell: A dream. People always will dream, and it is a possibility of making a dream come true that makes life interesting. Sartre gave many people a dream here of changing their life for a relatively low price tag of $10K (low price considering the dream). That's why I believe he made over $500K here in sales.
Maybe he was a 100% genuine guy at the start. And maybe he still is! But it is also possible he never has been, and in such a case this will no doubt go down as the most elaborate and biggest scam in BHW history....
I repeat though that I hope I am wrong, and if that's the case I'll be the first to apologize to him here.

I remember him... Such an IM guy would never go silent after being hacked. Something isn't right here. Looking at his websites that somebody has posted 2 pages ago, clearly a lot of fake information and addresses. He is a smart guy.

Not questioning the knowledge, that's not the point because he obviously have it.
I'm questioning is why someone with that knowledge or the capacity to acquire it, being someone that can obviously succeed in life quite easily why should pull up a cashout, is 500k or whatever really worth it?
I would not fuck my reputation here or in my IRL businesses for 500k.
That's why I say we are missing something here.
Logical Scenarios:
1. Or he really got hacked (what I doubt for multiple reasons)
2. Or got on a financial situation where he had to get money fast (can be many situations)
3. Or he have a psicological disturb like being a sociopath or whatever and dont give a fuck, what actually makes sense because sociopaths are super intelligente human beings and can calculate a stratagic plan like this cashout which can take years to pulloff
4. Or he got kidnapped by someone who knows he have money or someone he fucked with doing shady business
5. Or he got a mental breakdown (what I doubt because he/someone tried to use his rep and dm's to pulloff some quick money or data)
Anyway being logical and now knowing all the shared data by multiple bhw members who are clients of him and this behavior I would point the most logical senario as a cashout.
I'm sorry but no one who got hacked can't buy a phone for 50€ and a sim card for 5€ and contact a friend or even bhw to clarify things and start creating a plan to reinstate the status off all his IM stuff, including infrastructure and rensure clients.
This is based on current shared feedback, dont go hard on me.

He hasn't posted on reddit in 2 months either.
However, one saving grace is that I remember in one thread a long time ago he claimed he was mentally ill (don't know the exact term) and mentioned he was on daily medication.
Not excusing what he may have done, but if he has some problems and got a bit depressed, he could have easily gone off the deep end if he wasn't delivering the work he said he would.
This could spiral in to a black hole where he ends up getting super depressed or sectioned.

Does anyone really have hard evidence of his business IRL? So far I have come across a bunch of websites with fake addresses in Spanish cities. Supposedly there are several businesses IRL, however, it's hard to believe when you come across addresses that don't exist, or that according to Google Maps are from coffee shops, not real estate agencies.
It could all be a fabrication, an internet personality who is supposedly very successful in real life and that 500K USD is nothing to such a person.
Or it could be a smart person without that much money and 500K USD is a life changer.

I honestly believe Sartre did a massive exit scam. Just think about it - $500,000 is a massive amount of money, and I guess he made even more. Yeah, it may not be much in London (you can barely buy a small flat with that money there), but it's 100% life-changing in Thailand, Greece, and in 80 percent of countries around the world. You can open a beach bar and live happily ever after.
Or even get a new computer, an internet connection, and create a new account on bhw, and start all over again. After all, he has the experience, he knows what type of scams do work. Pulling a $500,000 scam every 5 years gets you a very good life.
P.S. - I REALLY hope I am wrong about him and nobody got scammed.

Actually I saw his blog, there is a picture of a trip to Vietnam on a motorcycle.
In Southeast Asia with 500,000 dollars you can live very well without working practically anything for the rest of your days if you manage this money well.

If you have any doubts my intro thread in 2019 is still available and I will not lose anymore time with you after that ironic assumption that here no one can be someone.

Exactly! I really don't understand the members who say 500k is not a lot of money. It may be true in New York, or Chicago, but it's a MASSIVE amount of money in 80 percent of the World.
And there's another thing - if Sartre really did this, what's stopping him from doing it all over again? I mean setting up a new account on bhw, create a new persona/identity, grow it for 5 years, build a reputation, open his own BST thread and start reselling dreams?
I really hope he is not a professional scammer...

funny someone makes an assumption he made 500k, now everyone takes it for granted like its a fact he made 500k and go on with new speculations based on that.
thats why i first suggested to wait instead of putting up wild theories as it just gets worse and worse. someone has a theory and anotherone takes it as fact and continues by adding own assumptions and so on and so on

I don't think he planned all this. He didn't plan to scam BHW members.
He was selling a service promising (Get in MV within 6 months or refund). I believe he knew what he was doing when he started the service and was confident about his service. In the last 6-months, Google made some updates which seem that hit his sites and client sites. The client wants refunds because he promised to. But seems like he decided not to refund and faked a "hack"... I hope I am wrong though! 10k is a lot of money tbh. And I know some BHW members that already paid for that service.
I hope is not but I am thinking to make a documentary on this.
