You had included that the founder “continues to have a vibrant base of supporters” despite some accusations so I would like to explain why I was not canceled (in an era where you get canceled for wearing a Trump T-shirt). It is now 20 months since the accusation and in an industry built on scale, not one person of a 100K+ following (seller, service provider, or consultant) has corroborated even .000000001% of what was stated as even possible which is quite interesting in an industry of public hack a thons, open BH clubs offering spreadsheets of insider services including FUNDS release, ASIN remapping, Sabotage, Feedback removal, ALL SOP’s, Tens of thousands of review groups, Invoice creation companies and much worse all publicly shredding and mocking the concept of following TOS.

The stated goal of ASGTG since 2015 is to cure the above and to network White Hat (Sellers) in a smart and efficient way so there is no need for an otherwise legit seller to justify (incorrectly) the use of Black Hat tactics & and for there to be a real counterweight to the mostly black hat international groups that put legit rule-following sellers at a disadvantage. Once the system has run its course and there is still no WH solution, which happens quite often, we ethically escalate the issue to Amazon so they can resolve it. This idea has clearly won the hearts & minds of the seller’s community for obvious reasons.

Since that time ASGTG has accomplished the following (incomplete list ) & I am unaware of any seller since 2015 that knows the ASGTG that will not name it as the #1 most positive reform force in the seller’s community.

(please note all these resources are free and open to anyone to use with zero upsell)

I have escalated to Amazon proper over 1200 “one-off” ticking bomb suspended cases that were reinstated which prevents legit sellers from entertaining BH tactics which ASGTG believes to be the real solution to stopping BH – a realistic & viable WH pathway. All these escalations were done with extreme integrity and for altruistic reasons (which is very different than charging the going rate for when my team is hired for POA work) that helps legit Sellers & Amazon. Most of these escalations never gave me 1$.

ASGTG is likely the #1 most impactful group/entity in third-party sellers history known throughout the world. I do not know even know who is second.

The FB group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/AmazonSellerPerformance/) is the go-to place worldwide for rule-following sellers and has nearly doubled since the accusations (37k-65k) which may make this the greatest conspiracy in world history.

We have the #1 weekly email since 2015 on Amazon compliance with a strong PRO TOS, PRO Amazon tilt almost to a fault. Every bullet point stresses compliance as I am sure you are aware since I know you read these emails. The weekly email/blog post touches the entire seller’s community.

I have produced over 100 videos stressing following and adhering to Amazon compliance.

ASGTG has over 83 highly moderated Telegram groups (all with a PRO Amazon , PRO TOS tilt) that has literally changed e-commerce as every single solvable issue gets resolved. (At the same time there are 1000s of BH groups PUBLICLY shredding Amazon which makes the accusations all the more interesting). The group chat history is PUBLIC in both FB & TG so you are welcome to verify this and can assure not one hint of condoning BH tactics. Clearly I would have no incentive to endorse BH

ASGTG has one of the top 3 annual events all stressing compliance and even had Amazon, eBay, & Walmart in an official capacity attending multiple times with glowing endorsements.

A vetted Service Provider Network with reviews all for no fee to anyone (https://www.asgtg.com/amazon-services/).

My Private POA team, which is unrelated to the group, has worked on 10K+ projects and has only grown since these accusations. Our biggest complaint is we are too straight and would never take a case in which we think the seller is involved in nefarious activity.

Home of the top 3 most successful petitions on Amazon Selling, some of which you covered including the famous #shutTheAsinNotTheSeller

Home of search@asgtg.com which is a free service for resellers to find the history of how aggressive a brand will protect their IP. This is game-changing for resellers and prevents lawsuits, waisted resources, fighting between brands & sellers.

ASGTG has an escrow service that is the most trusted throughout the world (that started after the accusations) when selling goods or business which makes the idea of us being “corrupt” pretty unlikely.

ASGTG escrow & ED Rosenberg has been impersonated 100s of times in an attempt of real fraudsters trying to profit off the trusted brand which makes the accusations even more interesting.

and there is much more.

In summary, you would literally have to believe that 20 months AFTER I was outed as a secret Black Hat (BH) service provider, I was able to keep 100K followers in line (not very likely), decided to commit random crimes with no motive & against my own self-interest, I am able to be both the leader of BH & WH Amazon at the same time & even after I was outed as a BH provider was somehow able to continue in the same role doubling my following, all with exactly zero people corroborating all of this in an industry built on scale.

All this seems very unlikely to the average seller which explains why the ASGTG continues to flourish. The seller community prefers to assume that my 7 years of Pro TOS, PRO Amazon ASGTG work, the 1200 escalations, the 10K projects with my 10-15 person POA team, the WH pathway idea, The go to address worldwide for rule-following sellers, the 83+ PRO-TOS TG groups, #1 PRO-TOS weekly email, the multiple successful petitions, the Pro Amazon Videos, the ASGTG alerts including the one mentioned in this article, the most trusted escrow service, PRO TOS events is real and it’s the few bizarre incidents that are missing context but you are welcome to believe what you want.

You or nobody in the entire world will be disappointed once the details, context, and explanations emerge.
