Frank Tufano v. Fernando Gil et al

Free Range Meat Weekly #10 BACON IS BACK! Liverwurst! Cookie Dough!? · November 27, 2023

I don't know what's up with that used restaurant guy he's saying he's supposed to come the past few weeks now I'm waiting on some more steel tables and a a platform truck but he's an older guy so I'm guessing he's not feeling 100% up to it

This is a first-person statement of an undelivered-equipment grievance against a used restaurant-equipment supplier, and it is the earliest such statement now in this archive. C096 (Frank Tufano v. Fernando Gil et al, N.Y. Sup. Ct. 805063/2025E, filed 2025-03-04) names Fernando Gil and Nando Equipment Inc, and its claims summary pleads that Gil, "leveraging a prior business relationship," sold him restaurant equipment represented as operational which did not work. This video sits inside that prior business relationship while it is still functioning — the speaker is waiting on further items (steel tables, a platform truck) from the same kind of counterparty, is mildly irritated at the delay, and excuses him sympathetically on grounds of age. That is evidentially valuable precisely because it is not yet a grievance in the litigated sense: it dates the relationship and shows its tone before the dispute hardened. It describes no filing conduct whatsoever, hence the No filing-conduct factor classification, and Moderate rather than Strong because the case link is grievance-based and tentative (see the trap-5 analysis in ## Research Notes).

Pastrami! Smoked Bacon! WiFi Shielding Clothing restock! FREE RANGE MEAT VLOG · May 13, 2024

so there's an auction for some pretty low price equipment I'm honestly probably just going to resell it cuz I don't think I can use it but the reason I bought stuff at that auction was because this burger patty machine was available and it was something I was looking at for a while uh it's called hollymatic and they listed it as in like Fair operating condition but it's not like the the whole inside plastic assembly is cracked there's loose bolts everywhere it's not usable as far as I'm concerned

“Hollymatic” appears in the dataset exactly once — in the claims summary for C096 (Frank Tufano v. Fernando Gil et al, N.Y. Sup. Ct. Bronx County 805063/2025E, filed 2025-03-04), which pleads that Gil and Nando Equipment, Inc. sold him “a Garland tilt skillet ($3,500), Hobart band saw ($5,000), and Hollymatic patty machine ($3,000) represented as fully operational, but that none functioned once hooked up”, seeking $25,000. The grievance shape matches this video almost exactly: a patty machine represented as working, found broken and effectively unrepairable. Whether the two machines are the same is unresolved and is deliberately not settled here. Two readings, and neither is adopted. 1. Different transactions: C096 pleads a sale by Gil “leveraging a prior business relationship”; this video describes an auction lot bought from an auction company he had no relationship with, and resolves it by credit-card chargeback, not by suit. On that reading these are two separate broken Hollymatics in the same year. 2. The same machine: a later video (2025-03-22) dates the Gil equipment dispute to “last year”, i.e. 2024, and this video is from 2024-05-13; another (2025-01-20) records him buying equipment “at auctions” habitually, so an auction and a personal seller are not mutually exclusive if Gil ran or supplied the lot. The docket check that would settle it: does C096's complaint identify the acquisition channel or a date for the patty machine? Until it does, no filing-chronology link to C096 should be drawn from this video — a matching grievance does not by itself license a party link. The Hollymatic name matches no tracked party, and neither Gil nor Nando Equipment is named anywhere in this video.

as usual we got to start off with a negative note because people always try to scam me and steal money from me uh so this guy that I used to buy equipment from in New York Fernando some Dominican guy I trusted him because he gave me you know I bought like $155,000 worth of equipment from him in the past and everything kind of worked but he he burned me for $8,000 uh he he sold me this rusted out B saw for 5 grand and I spent another 5,000 refurbishing It 2 weeks I I actually filmed the whole video series I was so pissed off

The grievance that becomes C096 (Frank Tufano v. Fernando Gil et al, Bronx County Supreme Court 805063/2025E), stated 64 days before the complaint was filed on 2025-03-04, with no filing announced or threatened. Three weeks later the same grievance is announced as a Bronx Supreme Court case in AofzXrwe_rA (2025-01-20, 09:16). The pair captures the same dispute at both stages — silent grievance, then announced filing — which is unusual in this archive. Do not promote the six-figure numbers. "$155,000" and "$88,000" are caption doublings of $15,000 and $8,000: he says "he burned me for $8,000" in the same breath as "$88,000 worth of junk", and C096 pleads $25,000 in total damages. The reliable figures are the per-machine ones in AofzXrwe_rA at 09:39.

An instruction to the audience to harass a named private individual over a commercial dispute. It is recorded because it is confirmed to have been acted on — AofzXrwe_rA at 09:02 (2025-01-20) reports that viewers did it — and because its target became a defendant 64 days later. Reported to the parent under §6 as a duty-of-care matter; this file takes no position beyond recording that it was said and acted on.

Fernando poppy is still flashing his Rox on uh on Facebook apparently you guys texting him photos of your nether regions didn't incentivize him to contact me thankfully

Confirms that viewers acted on the instruction he gave three weeks earlier in nm34XyauQy0 (2024-12-30, at 02:09), sending unsolicited sexual images to a named individual to pressure him over a commercial dispute — and that he is aware they did. Recorded as a duty-of-care harassment signal and as conduct directed at a person who became a defendant 43 days later. This file takes no position on it beyond recording that it was said. A promotion pass should weigh whether reproducing the wording serves the research; the fact of the campaign is the finding, not the phrasing.

he did steal enough money from me over $10,000 that it it's going to be pretty easy to just file a Supreme Court case and he's going to be completely screwed um will I get my money back I don't know but since the amount is over $10,000 I don't have to deal with small claims nonsense I know how to file the case right in Bronx Supreme Court serve him the papers

A filing announced before it exists, naming the forum correctly and giving the jurisdictional reasoning for choosing it. C096 (Frank Tufano v. Fernando Gil et al, Bronx County Supreme Court, index 805063/2025E) was filed 2025-03-04 — 43 days after publication — against Fernando Gil and Nando Equipment Inc. Not Strong: the rubric reserves Strong for the three core factors, and a prospective filing is not one of them.

it was you know the saw was 3,000 and I spent 4,000 trying to fix it no the saw was 5,000 then he sold me a Patty machine for 3,000 and a tilt Skillet that wasn't working for 4,000 so the value of the equipment he sold me was over 10,000 and then the additional money that I spent trying to fix it was more

This is what identifies the case. C096's claims summary pleads a Garland tilt skillet ($3,500), a Hobart band saw ($5,000) and a Hollymatic patty machine ($3,000), all represented as operational and none functioning. Two of the three prices match exactly and the third is close; the machines match; the ordering matches. Note the self-correction on camera — he says 3,000 then immediately corrects to 5,000 for the saw, which is the pleaded figure.

$15,000 Scam Update! FERNANDO PAPI GOING TO JAIL!? · March 22, 2025

so this guy scammed me for about $155,000 worth of equipment last year uh some of you might remember in a vlog we did about two months ago Fernando Poppy and you guys calling him up trying to get my money back did not help at all so uh we had to file a case in the Bronx County Supreme Court

Names the defendant and the court, and confirms the filing. It maps cleanly onto C096, Frank Tufano v. Fernando Gil et al, index 805063/2025E, New York State Supreme Court, Bronx County, filed 2025-03-04 — 18 days before this video, well inside the channel's observed 0–18 day lag between filings and uploads. The claims summary recorded for C096 describes consumer fraud over a Garland tilt skillet ($3,500), a Hobart band saw ($5,000) and a Hollymatic patty machine ($3,000), sold as operational and allegedly non-functional. The statement also contains a harassment-adjacent admission — "you guys calling him up trying to get my money back did not help at all" — that is, viewers telephoned the named defendant on his behalf before the suit, a point recorded separately in the research notes.

$15,000 Scam Update! FERNANDO PAPI GOING TO JAIL!? · March 22, 2025

I might have to go to the police station because after Fernando poppy received this lawsuit in the mail he threatened me via text message so I guess not the brightest thing on his part uh I don't know if it's going to be criminal charges now or if I'm going to have to get a restraining order in the civil court

A prospective filing that the dataset shows never happened — no restraining-order proceeding involving Fernando Gil or Nando Equipment Inc exists anywhere in the case tracker, and no criminal matter is recorded. In this research, threatened filings that never materialised are treated as findings rather than gaps; this is one, and it belongs beside the threatened DEA suit, the USPTO provisional claim, the class action and the suit against the President. It also dates the claimed service of the C096 complaint to on or before 2025-03-22. Tier: Moderate (Threatened or prospective filing)

Frames the alleged text message as retaliation for civil service. Kept for the sake of the allegation's precise wording — "physically threaten" — which is the video's basis for the title's jail question and is otherwise unevidenced. Tier: Moderate (No filing-conduct factor)

EYE UPDATE - Still DISFIGURED and CROSSEYED · August 29, 2025

And I've had over $100,000 stolen from me on my business from different equipment manufacturers and beef sellers this year.

A dated, self-reported aggregate loss figure attributed to two supplier categories that map onto several 2025 filings in the case tracker. "Equipment manufacturers" corresponds to C012 (Tufano v. Rational USA Inc, filed 2025-05-27), C016 (Tufano v. Alibaba, filed 2025-07-25, defendants including Zhucheng Kangze Machinery Co) and C096 (Frank Tufano v. Fernando Gil et al, filed 2025-03-04, Nando Equipment Inc); "beef sellers" corresponds to the wagyu-shipment matter, C015 / C057 (All-Ways Forwarding). It reports alleged losses, not filing conduct. Tier: Moderate (No filing-conduct factor)
