Mike Carroll is a fluffer

So this guy left lakai cause he didn't get paid, signed on Adidas which he got paid well and in six years on this team he wasn't able to film even a decent 50sec of footage...wow...and people  still blame Carroll.
But he clearly filmed more than the rest of lakai team for the entire time he was on lakai so what's anything he does after lakai got to do with if it was he or Carroll being a dick.

Yeah, he's had a couple of clips. About the same as some other guys who still get checks from Crailtap who aren't legends (Chris Roberts, Eldy, and while I think Jeron is a legend, MJ is a different level of one).

Lets just leave it at, we have a grown adult who failed to communicate at a basic level, and another who was making unreasonable demands of a long-time loyal employee who was also ultra productive. In the era of guys like Suciu or 3 part Soty runs this may sound crazy. But, I don't think there was a more productive pro between when Marc got on Lakai and Pretty Sweet. He was byfar Lakai and Chocolates most productive pro during his time there.
