The fact that he didn't post here for months and then starts posting as if nothing happened pretty much says it all, at least for most here.
I don't have issue with Media personally, but you can't be party to a major scam and then play dumb like you didn't know what was going on and you were just an employee. People are pissed and he played a significant role, employee or not...he was one of their "trusted faces". Without these "respected" employees, the the level of scamming they pulled wouldn't have been possible.

You also have to take into consideration that JJ wasn't always a scammer or not paying people. When I met him and started doing business with him, not a word had come out yet about anything shitty he was doing. He turned about a year in to me knowing him. maybe a little less. By that time he's late on paying you and if you tell him to fuck off, you lose 1000s of dollars that he owes you. So you bite the bullet and hope he pays you what he owes, but he never does. He just pays you enough so you don't tell him to fuck off.
But don't take my word for it. Do your homework, he wasn't always a shit head. When a lot of people started working for him he was alright. Shit happens fast and a lot of people got caught up in the middle of it all. It's not like everyone could just quit without warning and go work somewhere else. People have families to feed and bills to pay. And in JJ's case, he usually kept everyone who worked for him literally feeding from his tit, late paying them and literally on the edge of poverty. That's how he painted people into a corner and controlled them.
I don't know what media knew or didn't, but I'd that he was in the same boat everyone else was who worked for JJ, and was stuck there. I totally believe he left media high and dry like he did everyone else who worked for him.
