The story goes that Tony and Dina, the people trying to sell the art behind the back of the original owner, had claimed that Les was a family friend of theirs and could get them a good deal on the art this was untrue, they had never met prior to this transaction. With Les enthused about the art and about to get it authenticated as one last step before buying, he gave them a number as a first step in bargaining for the paintings.
They ended up telling the original owner that they were getting it for far less and pocketed the rest of the money. Even the casual insult from a customer can launch a full-scale freakout from Les Gold. However, the most powerful criticism of this family actually seems to be coming in the form of a dialogue within the Jewish community about perpetuating such stereotypes.
While Forward gave them respect, JewSchool called them an embarrassment. As a fan of Tom Brady, he wanted to capitalize off of the controversy. Perhaps this could be because they had a modicum of tact. The Deflategate scandal involved the New England Patriots deliberately inflating their balls against the Indianapolis Colts during the NFL playoffs so that they could gain an illegal advantage in the game.
Seth was thus adamant about buying these Deflategate NFL balls in order to draw in some publicity. When suspicions were growing as to how various items were going missing in the store, Les decided that he was going to catch the culprit red-handed. A diamond ring was left as bait with a hidden camera pointed at it.
Then all they had to do was wait and, sure enough, the next day it was gone. So who was seen on the tape nabbing it? None other that their own head of security, Big Joe.
Needless to say, Les called the cops on the man who had been his head of security for three years. Joe was marched out in front of everyone in handcuffs, disgraced and humiliated as Ashley swore at him, on the verge of tears.
Officers at the scene say that they had been responding to a am call only to find David Kapuscinski attacking his girlfriend. When they warned him, Kapuscinski still refused to comply and was tasered twice. He died as a result. In fact, she claimed that her boyfriend of six months had been loving, and supported her emotionally and financially so that she could go back to college. According to the girlfriend, he woke up from a nightmare and had a nervous breakdown, prompting what the police perceived as an attack.
As for his appearance on Hardcore Pawn? She says it was a set up and not real at all. Can you think of any other dark behind-the-scenes secrets about Hardcore Pawn? Let us know in the comment section. By Stefanie Feldman Published Sep 25, Share Share Tweet Email 0. Related Topics Lists. We watched the show and knew you would go on and make a better life for yourself and family.
Plus you being wrongly fired from the pawn store is probably the best thing that could have happened to you!! The Gold's have NO respect for anyone and it's money before family for them. I guess we missed the show where you got fired. We binge watched a bunch of shows up to the one where they were talking about you screwing up and leaving some jewelry on the counter. Then the season's premiere for this year came on and we noticed you gone, but knew you went on to do your own thing.
We wish you well Rich and hope to see you soon with your own show!!! I have read a few reliable place that to call this show a Reality Show is so so wrong. If it's real than Les is a chicken butt to stand back and let Seth be a complete jerk.
Anyway, Rich I wish you the best in the future. Like I said you made the show worth watching and made American Pawn Shop worth going into.
I would Love to see Seth be nicer to people and not be so set in believing his way is alwsys the right way. He needs to be nicer to Ashley. The episode where Les stood up for his daughter when that jerk came in talking about spanking Ashley wanting that "sex" table. Thats the way I want to see the family stick up for each other. I think if we saw more of a family treating each other with respect and all stickingup for each other would make people feel better about watching that show.
I hope you are still friends with them. I want to see Rich do really good. You deserve it. Best to you. Ashley is a snob who I'd like to jump in the mix of the line that's queuing up to slap the shit out of her.
Seth is a wanna-be manager who needs to take his training wheels off before even hoping to become manager of the janitorial department. Les is just an entitled little fake Goodfella who helped raise those moochers.
I feel sorry for Bobby J. Much success to you Rich. I know you're going to be great! I just happened to see a rerun to fill time and never knew Rich got fired staged or not. I had planned on going to place just to see him but hell if I'd go now! Rich was the main reason I continued to watch it after finding it a few episodes into the 2nd season.
Anyways all the best to Rich in his new career and show and to hell with the pawn shop. I just hope Rich hooked up with Ashley. She is gorgeous! And, that big butt Ashley is gorgeous? LOL cut the games, son. That booty is pretty fat, though. The Golds and there employees are all dumbazzs.
Anyone who works for dumbazzs is certainly a dumbazz in my book. Les always talks about family and how it should be but its not like that on the show.
Ash and Seth are so disrespectful to one another and to their father, the way Les handles them especially on the show for tv purposes is totally unprofessional. Compared to the other Pawn show HP is just drama we got enough of that in the world, get a clue HP money and profit isnt everything. Rich I am so glad your doing your own thing 25 years is a long time but as I tell my kids accept whats you've been dealt and move on, life throws you a curve ball you better swing and if you miss you know you tried.
Rich wish the best on your new endeavors one door closes another opens Best wishes. Rich in the Netherlands we have a speaking: When others throw a door then others open by that blast. Good luck! He looked more like a Goat. Store is better off without his stuck-up attitude. They were a bunch or morons. They should have had your back. So much for being a family at that place. I bet you'll do thrice as well as them.
And with the class that the Golds lack. Seriously, they are some trashy m-fers. Only watched the show to see Rich Les is a greed hound, Seth, a spoiled brat, and Ashly needs a lifetime membership to Jenny Craig Rich , as so many others have said already, You are one great dude for suffering 25 years of that misery.
God Bless you going forward. I will certainly watch whatever you are involved in. By the way, I recently watched the episode where you were drumming, man I am a guitar player that would love to hook up with a dude with your skills!!!
No need to watch Hardcore Pawn anymore.. Pretty boy Rich is not there for me to feast my eyes on.. It's sad to see that you are no longer on Hardcore Pawn for you were the real reason that I would watch Sexy but when 1 door closes there will be 1 more to open and God blessed you with very well.
I am looking forward to watching your new show and wishing you the best of luck. Keep it real and safe but never forget about the little people, I keep you and your family in my prayers Your fan Lisa. Don't have to waste your talent with that bitch and the other two shitheads!!!!! Ashley has the most annoying voice. You are lucky to get away from her rude attitude and jello. Rich you are the man. You will do so much better with out these fakies holding you back. Rich You are My Hero Miss you on the show.
I stopped watching. I can't take the "family" crap and now with the cousin. Ugh, show is in the toilet. Horrible show now Fuck all of you lowlife racist skinheads that are using Rich's release from the show as an outlet to bond with Rich in a racial way! I enjoyed Rich as much as everyone else and was very disappointed to learn he was no longer on the show as most have expressed.
I also feel the Gold family members were greedy, rude, annoying and made a huge mistake in letting Rich go.
But I am hopeful that Rich doesn't share your lowlife racial remarks identifying the Golds as a "scummy Jew race". The author of the remark above is extremely uneducated and dangerous to our society. I'm guessing this person has done quite a bit of prison time! An individuals religion, race or color of their skin doesn't make them greedy, rude scummy or any of the racial descriptive remarks made.
Most of you racists used Jews as a descriptive. How horribly disappointing! Family morals and upbringing helps to mold a person, I am shocked at how so many of Rich's fans are racists. Now, unless otherwise made clear that Rich isn't as uneducated and dangerously outspoken as these racists are, I'm going to stop following him to support him. For all we know, Rich could be wearing a "ghost" suit and burning crosses on the front lawn of a loving black familiy home.
Or, he could be involved in the killings of Jews while they pray in synagogue on holy days, as I'm sure all you racist followers do or would love to participate in. These skinheads will destroy you and keep you from following your dreams if you think as they do.
I can assure you that National Geographic wont have any interest in you if they feel the same as I do. The path you're on will give insight to who you are.
You shouldn't communicate with violent racist people if you want to be successful and have younger people look up to you! Unless of course your idea of success is joining a skinhead gang in prison for a life Sentence! Tell the racists to fuck off and stop contacting you if you do not agree with their violent way of expressing themselves.
From what I've read, it appears these people believe the racial comments made in order to make you feel better about how awful the Gold family treated you is appreciated by you! I am so disappointed to have been a part of your following, I honestly had no idea how many dangerous people followed you until I read a lot of these posts! Only you can guide your path Rich.
Take control and pick and choose your followers wisely if you want a positive successful life. I'm out until I see otherwise, I am not going to associate with the majority of your followers. I'll share this site with National Geographic as well. Rich: You took to much shit from the Golds, Les cannot see the forrest thru the trees. You were right to tell Les that his kids are spoiled and could not stand on their own 2 feet without daddy.
They should try and get real jobs. I'm wondering if Les put his hand in his pocket and gave Rich half the sale money as for the fact he or Seth didn't appreciate what it was they had and Rich did,made the call and got the interested customer.
Someone with less loyalty in them would have bought it for themselves and sold it on for a profit cutting the Golds out of the deal completely. I mostly reckon he didn't even get a finders fee but hope Gold lives to regret letting such an honourable guy go for such little infringement. What more would you expect from a pawnbroker! Rich, be glad you are out of that HELL! The only reason I watched those idiots was because of Rich and Bobbie.
I love Rich's King Tut beard! Ashley and Seth assholes. Les take advantage of people, low-balling them because the economy in Detroit is so bad! But how much is put on for the camera? Rich good luck with the your new show, we will be watching! I am so soryy for those, that work that family's company. Your comment pretty reasonable except for the racist BS. Educate yourself, son.
Rich, their loss has certainly become your gain! I am so happy for you for all of your new opportunities! I am a big fan of yours and can't wait to see Meltdown! Hopefully, when your band goes on tour, you'll come to my area. Good luck with everything! Hugs, Leena. I have to agree with many on here who have said you made the show on Hardcore Pawn!
You handled yourself well and knew what you were doing and that's even now more obvious than ever! Wishing you the very best! Rich was stealing the thunder from the Gold family. That's why he was fired. When Hardcore is canceled, you will not see any of this family on another show. They are just unpleasant in every way. Congrats Rich.
