Obviously IB is very different now for better or worse, but this video was super entertaining to watch, so I wanted to hear the community’s thoughts on it.
Any seniors who were in the industry at the same time this dude was also would love to hear what y’all have to say.

I wouldn't trust Vice as an outlet whatsoever--shady bs journalism. Unless the guy's willing to go on the record then I'd take all that as a load of crap
Vice does have interesting documentaries/interviews but ditto to the other poster, if the person is not willing to show who they are - I call BS on this video. Vice's quality varies a lot IMO in their videos.
Their one journalist who covers a lot of the African American politics spectrum is very good at what he does. Stays unbiased and asks engaging questions.
Vice was cool years ago, but my cynical take is that it was hardly ever more than war porn presented by thick glasses nerds from Brooklyn.
The guy in the video is literally (not metaphorically, I mean literally) Geraint Anderson, of CITYBOY fame. You'd have to be a complete dumbass to not immediately pierce that together, from raving about his "blue-collar" background (his old man was a union or Labour man, I think), to getting the juicy details about muh coke binges in front of the plebs, it reeks of his characteristic narcissism, false humbleness, and closeted pride in his "fall from grace".
EDIT: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geraint_Anderson Okay, so he's apparently the son of a fucking MP and Baron. A literal trust fund baby and hippie that was forced by his brother to get a real job. No wonder he found the drugs so amazing. A real "whistleblower", that one...
I’m from US, never had heard of him, thx
How tf did you decide on going into IB without reading CITYBOY in the school library during senior year? Zoomers, I swear...
