"I'd text him, like 'What the f--- are you doing? You're supposed to be working,'" Cuban said. According to Cuban's recollection, Yim would reply that he was"networking" on behalf of the business.By 2016, Yim was transitioning away from the Breathometer,
on a product called Mint that measured levels of sulfur compounds in your mouth to determine whether or not you had bad breath.against Yim and Breathometer, alleging that the company misled its customers about the product's ability to accurately measure BAC. According to the FTC, Breathometer"lacked scientific evidence to back up their advertising claims."with the FTC over that complaint, forcing the company to notify and fully refund every customer who'd bought a device.
Yim acknowledges not committing to proper testing for some of his products, and says that lack of rigor contributed more to derailing his company's progress than his travel schedule. Today, neither the Breathometer or Mint products are available for purchase on the company's website. The founder notes that Cuban took the lion's share of the investment, accounting for $500,000 of the total $1 million. He says the Sharks might finally recoup some value from their investment, because the company recently agreed to be acquired. Details for such a deal do not yet appear to be public.Get smarter about your money and career with our weekly newsletter
MakeIt Why would I care?
MakeIt He's just lucky it wasn't a LOT more (like with Theranos & Musk's Neuralink)! Those investors really got taken! All good fraudsters know how to do this! You FIRST look at their past social media posts & claims, not their current ones! You look at their track record of 'honesty'!
MakeIt 😆 VC's almost never (really) know what they're doing, despite pretending they do! There have been so many examples of this, including lately Theranos, FTX & the yet to be exposed, Musk 'Neuralink' fraud! They never do their own 'thorough' due diligence, asking actual 'experts'.
MakeIt Ha trump was right again
MakeIt Cuban and n.b.a China ccp apologist and bootlickers. Shame.
MakeIt On the podcast, Cuban shared the worst investment deal he’s ever made on the TV show: the Breathometer. In 2013, an entrepreneur named Charles Michael Yim went on “Shark Tank” to pitch his product, the Breathometer, as “the world’s first smartphone breathalyzer.” [1/2]
MakeIt Worst Shark Ever 👎 Make better choices. 😒

MakeIt Euphoria is the worst thing to allow your brain for more gains. Money need to be reinstated as a tool for work or services, not accumulating it is what it is. Only good access to capital for everyone, shall make the world better man, and yes we can.
