It appears the "1994" year cited in the archived ABC.com Shark Tank bio page, for John's first $300,000 order, is inaccurate. Multiple other sources cite "1994".
Suggest we correct current text: "In 1992[12:ABC shark tank bio], or 1994[17:Forbes article], ..."
1. years/citations are reversed. ABC page states 1994 but Forbes cites 1992
2. INC. mag article cosues on the $300k and date is "1992" as with other sources besided ABC archived article. Might the ABC archived citation be incorrect version that was later fixed by ABC, but is not archived?
3. INC. article suggests FUBU section order is inaccurate, citing $100k maternal loan was a result of the $300,000 order for unavailable product rather than send cash to start business. More research needed to clear up this confusion before editing?
Also, should the "Racist?" section of this talk page be removed as graffiti or Wikipedia:Vandalism?
Whoops. Yes. I transposed the dates. Fixing now. As for the the other stuff, I'll leave that to other editors to research. Point #2 is speculation so I'm not sure what to do about that. Probably John's new book can set all this straight it someone has it and can cite (with supporting quote, preferably).--Tenebrae (talk) 21:14, 19 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
