LifeSurge and Pablo Torre story

[osuvictory1]

Can somebody explain what the Pablo Torre investigation is about, and why JJ's and TSC's appearance is a being talked about?

I don't get why this is a big deal?

Is it a big deal? Nothing I read says it is

The investigation is looking at a group called Life Surge which is a Christian "wealth training" group. They hold seminars around the country and use celebrities to speak and endorse them. The are accused of using high pressure sales techniques to sell sketchy "wealth creation" training courses and materials. Tim Tebow was a prominent backer of them but has backed away since the investigation began.
As for the OSU players, they aren't accused of doing anything wrong. When Life Surge held a seminar at OSU, JJ, TSC, Caleb Downs, Herbstreit and Urban all appeared and spoke. Apparently Urban helped secure the facility that was used. OSU has already said that none of those guys did anything wrong or broke any rules. More than anything, it's just kind of a "bad look" situation.

It seems Life Surge seems to be a scam and using OSU players to influence people to attend. Then the grifting starts. Doubt the players know the background. Think Trump University, only involving religious backing.

“Christians” preying on poor people…..hmmmmm seems like a story as old as time

Yeah, that's pretty much it.

Guess I'll see you in hell, buddy. Not paying my tithe. But I am "preying" for them.

The grift is real….

Hoping these guys can get some counseling and stay away from schemes like this.

I would say I expect more out of Urban and Ken, but then do I really….

Yeah, I read about it, and didn't find anything either. That Pablo Torre is apparently a well known investigator, but this looks lame, and calls into question his integrity.

I guess he needs clicks.

Unless they knew it was a grift, I am not sure how they are relevant. This happened in 2025. Which makes it even more laughable.

I mean the players maybe not but Urban and Tebow probably

Tebow left the organization, and I doubt that Urban did based on a one time thing.

Down here in Tampa, there seems like a new billboard every month for a Christian men's fellowship type of thing.

It seems like it would be difficult to know if the money was being used improperly, unless you are one of the principals in the organization.

Tressel for example has been involved with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes going all the back to his YSU days.

Tebow has been very religious his whole life.

I still don't see the big deal.

Jeremiah Smith gets the clicks though. Fuck social media and the divisive shit it causes. Your profile should be your current DL photo and address. We'll see how much BS is spewed before AI (sorry) SI takes over and enslaves us.
