this is a pretty well known swank fact
"Well, I didn't really wanna leave Toy Machine, but Tod Swank was ripping me off for the CKY video, so I was just like, "Ed, what am I supposed to do? I wanna be involved with Toy Machine, but I don't want to be involved with Tum Yeto," and Ed didn't do anything about it, so i'm like, all right, well I'm gone then, see ya. Then Maldonado left, and then Kerry left, and it's just like fuck Tod Swank, you know, and now I'm on Element. It was the best move I've ever made because what I was making over there at Tum Yeto was a complete joke."
heard it many other places too about swank fucking bam over on the landspeed video. dude seems shady in general
