This Charlie Munger Video Is FAKE — And It’s Fooling Millions​

Jan 14, 2026 #charliemunger #rentvsbuy #realestateinvesting
This video exposes a viral Charlie Munger clip that claims the legendary investor rented for 30 years—and explains why the video is almost certainly fake.
We break down how AI-generated finance content spreads misinformation, why there’s no credible source for the quote, and what Charlie Munger actually believed about money, leverage, and rational decision-making.
You’ll learn the documented truth about Munger’s real estate history and why simplifying investing into slogans like “always rent” or “never buy” misses the point.

Fun with Grok.

Looking for information an Asian Guy, Your John AG, Boring Currency and Kenzo AG channels. Are they all by the same creator? Who is behind this?

Ans:

Based on available information from web searches and X (formerly Twitter) analysis, here's what I found about the channels you mentioned: "Asian Guy," "Your John AG" (which appears to be a reference to or variant of "Jon AG"), "Boring Currency," and "Kenzo AG." These seem to primarily refer to YouTube channels focused on finance, economics, and precious metals (especially gold and silver price predictions, market crashes, and investment advice). They often feature dramatic thumbnails, urgent titles, and scripted narration. Are They All by the Same Creator? Yes, there are strong indications that these channels (or at least most of them) are produced by the same entity or network of creators. Key evidence:
  • Shared Style and Content: All emphasize similar themes like silver shortages, market manipulations by banks, geopolitical impacts on metals, and urgent calls to "stack" physical silver/gold. Videos frequently use AI-generated avatars, voiceovers, and visuals, with repetitive phrasing (e.g., "Ladies and gentlemen, Asian guy here"). This suggests a centralized production pipeline.
  • AI-Generated Nature: Multiple sources, including Reddit discussions and X posts, describe these as part of a cluster of 20+ AI-driven YouTube channels. Clones or variants reuse the same AI "character" (an animated Asian male with glasses) across channels, with minor tweaks. For example:
    • "Asian Guy" is the core persona, often appearing in videos across related channels.
    • "Jon AG" (likely what you meant by "Your John AG") is explicitly tied to this avatar, with video descriptions tagging "Asian guy, Currency archive, Jon AG."
    • "Boring Currency" features the same "Asian Guy" commentary and cross-promotes content like "John AG" videos.
  • Cross-Promotions and Overlaps: Videos from "Jon AG" (on the Currency Archive channel) reference "Asian Guy" directly. "Boring Currency" uploads include titles crediting "John AG" and share identical scripting styles. This points to shared ownership or automation tools.
  • Reddit and X Consensus: Users on Reddit (e.g., in r/Silverbugs) speculate these are from one "whistleblower" or bot farm running multiple AI channels for monetization. X posts echo this, calling "Asian Guy" an AI bot with "20 different channels" and noting inaccuracies or agenda-driven content.
"Kenzo AG" is less prominently documented in the results, but it fits the pattern of "AG"-branded channels (possibly standing for "Asian Guy" or a variant like "John AG"). It may be a newer or lesser-known spin-off, as it wasn't directly linked in searches, but similar AI finance channels (e.g., "Wealth Historian," "Empire of Currency") are mentioned as clones.Not all may be identical—some could be copycats imitating the popular "Asian Guy" format for views—but the core group (Asian Guy/Jon AG/Boring Currency) shows clear interconnections.Who Is Behind This?The true creator(s) remain anonymous, with no verified public identity. Speculations and details include:
  • AI-Driven Operation: These aren't run by a real person on camera; the host is an AI-generated avatar (often called "AI Asian Guy" or "Silver Guy"). Tools like AI voice synthesis and animation are used, leading to theories of automated content farms. X users note consistent errors (e.g., "half the time it’s wrong") and identical visuals (e.g., "every strand of hair being identical").
  • Possible Motivations:
    • Monetization: High view counts (e.g., Jon AG has 64.5K subscribers and 40+ videos) suggest ad revenue focus. Channels push affiliate links for silver dealers or crypto.
    • Agenda or Propaganda: Reddit users speculate ties to "Chinese propaganda" (e.g., promoting silver hoarding amid U.S. economic critiques) or market manipulation hype. Content often exaggerates crises (e.g., "$34B EMERGENCY INJECTION: The Real Reason Silver Crashed") to drive engagement.
    • No Confirmed Ties: One X post jokingly claims the voice resembles Robert Kiyosaki (author of Rich Dad Poor Dad), but this is unverified and contradicted by AI evidence. Another mentions the avatar's "name is John," aligning with "Jon AG."
  • Channel Details:
    • Asian Guy/Jon AG: Main channel is "Currency Archive" (
      @CurrencyArchive
      on YouTube, ~64.5K subs). Bio: "Welcome to Currency Archives, the channel where history, money, and power collide." Videos like "How Much Gold & Silver Do You Actually Need By 2026?" use the AI Asian male host.
    • Boring Currency: Two potential channels surfaced—
      @boringcurrency
      (or variants like UCw2haU5g17Ux_n8bHQsfPgw, with videos like "URGENT: Holding 500oz of Silver Could Put You in the Crosshairs | John AG"). ~2K-5K views per video, same AI style.
    • Kenzo AG: No major YouTube channel matched exactly, but it may be a niche or emerging variant. If it's related, expect similar finance content.
  • Popularity and Criticism: These channels have surged in 2025-2026 amid silver price volatility (e.g., spikes to $80-$100). Viewers praise the info but criticize the AI as "too much" or misleading. X posts warn of fakes, with the "real" Asian Guy allegedly distinguishing himself in videos.
If these are YouTube channels (as the context suggests), they're likely algorithm-optimized for trends like silver squeezes. For more specifics, I recommend checking the channels directly, but be cautious of hype—content often prioritizes clicks over accuracy. If you meant different platforms (e.g., Telegram or X), provide more details for a deeper look.

First rule of thumb - the New Rules - is: Never trust anything unearthed, any video, document, anything - regarding DEAD PEOPLE who we admired or were taught to admire or emulate.

The dead aren't there to refute or file lawsuts. It's like unearthed documents from fifty years ago, claiming the Apollo space program was a PR fake or that the moon is made of green cheese. Nobody alive is able to step forward and say, THAT'S A LIE AND A FAKE.

Second rule is, weigh what's now being "discovered" against what the body of the dead person's work was. Even if not an actual fake, it could be clearly out of context.

Third...consider that the Ten Commandments may still have some utility in our modern world. Remember: "Thou Shalt Not BEAR FALSE WITNESS"...
 

AI Asian Guy Tells the Truth​

And he will not apologize for his tone tonight

There's got to be a story behind the original video.

Stark County. I only know of one Stark County - Canton, Ohio.

The Dumbos have run riot in the state.

This is not a guy I'd want to ask to run to the post office to buy me a money-order, much less trust with the county budget. And someone ought to tell him, county TREASURER is not a place for histrionics.

Book-keepers are needed. Honesty and competence, in that order. Noisy loudmouths need not apply.

I guess the Wepubwiccans are that desperate for candidates to field. Ohio was once a Red State, but that didn't mean it didn't just reek with corruption. Offices like County Treasurer were usually sealed deals, in back rooms long before the General Election.

Yeah, that's Phil Davison and that campaign video went viral back in the day. He ended up losing his primary campaign for county treasurer, but it wasn't for lack of trying!

Wikipedia said:
During a September 8, 2010 meeting of the Stark County Republican Party at Malone University, Davison delivered a six-minute speech expressing his interest in the party's nomination for County Treasurer. Though Davison lost the nomination to North Canton finance director Alexander Zumbar,[6] Huffington Post citizen journalist Martin Olson's recording of Davison's speech[12] went viral upon its posting on YouTube.[13] By October 2011, YouTube users had viewed the video nearly 2.6 million times.[14] Thereafter, Davison was flown to New York City for an appearance on Good Morning America and to Cleveland for an interview with Inside Edition.[15] He was featured in major media outlets throughout the United States[16] and the world. During his appearances, Davison discussed his astonishment with his instant celebrity, commenting on how he "woke up Thursday thinking it would be just another day" but then began receiving phone calls for media requests.[15][17] In response to the public interest in his speech, Davison remarked:

If one person would get up and do something different, like go to a village council meeting or go talk to a neighbor about getting an improvement in water, an improvement in sewer, an improvement in fire protection or police protection, then I've done something worthwhile. I encourage everyone to run for office and go out and question the people who are representing you. I wish more people came to our meetings and said, 'Hey, what are you people doing up there?'[18]

Six months later, Davison appeared on the March 8, 2011 episode of Comedy Central's Tosh.0 in a "web redemption" parody taped the previous November. In it, Davison made a mock presidential campaign announcement,[19] foreshadowing an actual presidential campaign as unsuccessful candidate for the Boston Tea Party's 2012 presidential nomination.[20]

He appeared in a 2013 television commercial for Volkswagen which aired during Super Bowl XLVII after a "teaser" version of the ad had run a few days prior. The ad featured Davison and other YouTube personalities appearing with reggae singer Jimmy Cliff.[21][22] In October of that year, Davison's speech was ranked #1 on Washington Post writer Aaron Blake's list of "The 12 best political rants". Blake commented that Davison "will never be usurped in the rant department."[23]

In January 2014, Davison topped CNN's ranking of "the best rants ever".[24] In July of that year, he appeared on the ABC program 20/20 in a segment titled "Losing It".[25]

I can't stress this enough. People want the city or county TREASURER...to COUNT MONEY. Control how it is kept, invested, disbursed.

They don't want loony-toons rants. Can you imagine such a person, if it comes out that the books don't balance? Or that a bank or investment firm holding county money, somehow absconded?

The voters would want names, numbers and referrals for prosecution. Not hysterics and not noise.
 

AI fakes are spreading like wildfire - how can we tell what is real?​

It rarely takes more than a few scrolls to see an AI-generated video in 2026.

From the capture of Nicolas Maduro by US forces in Venezuela to the fatal shooting of members of the public in Minneapolis by ICE agents, millions of people are consuming AI-generated videos and images on some of the world’s most significant news events - making it impossible to discern what is real or fake.

Experts have warned The Independent that AI-generated content is spreading at such a rapid pace that it is filling the information void before facts emerge, leading to the emergence of false narratives as news organisations scramble to verify details.

“As AI videos continue to improve, it’s becoming harder to trust what we see while scrolling through social media,”, says Sofia Rubinson, senior editor at Newsguard’s Reality Check.
