Zack was born in Springfield, Missour… Read Full Bio ↴From www.changeling-sound.com:

Zack was born in Springfield, Missouri and grew up in the sweltering heat of Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona. When the time came, he moved back to Springfield to attend Southwest Missouri State University where he studied Musical Theatre Performance and recently graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree.

After working in the Doom and Quake mod scenes for several years, Zachary Quarles was hired in 2000 by Wisconsin-based developer Raven Software. While at Raven, Zack worked on titles such as: Star Trek: Elite Force, Jedi Knight: Jedi Outcast, Soldier of Fortune II, X-Men: Legends, X-Men: Legends II, Marvel Ultimate Alliance, and Quake 4.

In 2006, Zack picked up stakes and moved to Chicago to accept the position of studio audio director for Day 1 Studios. In this position he interacted with the programming staff to incorporate audio within the proprietary Day 1 engine and tool suite, oversaw the audio "vision" for every title, worked with in-house sound personnel, created loads of content, worked with contractors, planned out work schedules and budget requirements, and generally went insane.

In 2009, he was approached by id Software to head up the audio for the latest incarnation in the Doom franchise.

Zachary also works on a freelance basis in the theatrical, multimedia, and film realms with his company Changeling Sound Studios. With Changeling, he provides original music, sound effect design, and his own personal projects.

its sad, whenever people get desperate instead of admitting failure, they do crazy evil things. makes me not want to get desperate and make sure to keep myself in check even in the face of failure

I wonder if the fact that he raised that much money helped him in getting some of the significant roles that he got towards the end.

@xitizzz

That's it. In 2015 he started his ponzi scheme (which would take at least 1-2 years to attract significant investment) and from 2017 he started getting significant roles after years of struggling. It's a hell of a coincidence.

@Sam-dc9bg

Wouldn't doubt it. For all we know, the scheme might have been originally created as some way to raise short term funds for that purpose.

There's another video on this guy that actually highlighted that part of the story better. The answer is yes: He was an EP and essentially paid his way into getting those roles.

@JohnDoe-gy5dr

I'm guessing they have a business venture that they think will eventually level out their scheme but just needs time. On very rare occasions, it may have actually worked and we don't know about it because it worked.

I wonder if his investment ponzi scheme started as just trying to pick up a woman with BS bragging about how successful and ambitious he was- then she tells her friends, one thing leads to another, and the lie takes on more and more momentum until the guy is in too deep for today to ever be the day to face the music- he should write a movie script about it and then try to sell it to his former investors!

We have a saying in our country that regret is always in the end. No one ever regrets things at the start. These scammers are smart enough to scam people but not smart enough to realize that the party will end one day.

@abasis.baruti9819

I've heard at least three layers say that most ponzi schemes start by accident. A person begins with good intent but steps onto a slippery slope through bad luck, bad planning, or bad execution. Thus leads to losses or failures that start small and end up being felt with through stalling, deception, and or small lies here and there. Eventually, for those who don't start out with the intention of defrauding people, they come to the realization that they've committed a crime and are presented with a moral dilemma: admit their mistakes and possible incompetencealong with possible criminal consequences or delude themselves into thinking that all they need is a little more time. The longer they persist in delusion, the more exponential the ponzi grows. The bigger it grows, the more trouble they're in
The thought of prison and other punishments impels them to keep going. Eventually, if they're not genius in some way, they slip and the fall begins. In this guy's case, it seems to be more sinister than an honest mistake spiralling of control. To me, it SEEMS premeditated.

@tiararoxeanne1318

@@JohnDoe-gy5dr & @Abasi Baruti Both your descriptions match the case of Theranos. But in Jack Avery's case, it was just pure greed and guts. He's not even smart enough to flee the country, or to put his wealth in offshore accounts when the first sign of trouble appeared (unable to pay his investors for the first time).

It’s really sad when they do this and they buy assets like houses to just transfer the houses to their family members. They cannot even seize these assets to pay back the investors. They should change the law that transferred assets be seized to pay back investors. How do I know this? Because I live near a family who got not 1, but 2 houses that I know of transferred to their names by their ponzi scheming father.

Scammers feed off greed of people. If something seems too good to be true, it’s likely not true. Promises of high returns on investments is nothing but a trap to lure in suckers.

@jamjam350

Because they buy assets and transfer it to their family members and it cannot be recovered to pay back the investors. How do I know? I live near someone that did this. He did a ponzi scam worth 250 million and he bought many houses and transferred it to his family.

1:35 "The acting industry is highly competitive and only a small percentage make it."

Can confirm. My old theatre professor friend said there were three ways to become an actor: Nepotism, dumb luck, and hardwork/talent. And while universities pump out a lot of industry professionals and minor actors, being hansom is an absolute requirement for being the star.

@CplEthane

I don't think you understand how movie reviews work. "Only 60%" critic rating for a low-budget horror flick on Rotten Tomatoes is actually pretty damn good. 66% for a Google score is respectable as well. If anything, you should have harped on the 24% audience score it has on Rotten Tomatoes.

Also, neither critic nor audience ratings determine if a movie is a flop or not. Only a movie's earnings can determine that. I couldn't find anything about Hell Is Where The Home Is 's profits, but unless they didn't make their investment on the movie back, it's not a flop.

The only reason he got those acting roles in 2020 and 2021 is because investors in the business gave him those roles... duh

@jerrybaird2059

The “way to make money” in a Ponzi is to be an early investor who gets his money back from later investors’ money, before everything collapses. In theory, the early investors must throw their money into the bankrupt estate or negotiate with the bankruptcy trustee, as happened with Madoff.

@kareliask

One of the craziest thing about this story is looking up this dude's credited roles. The guy literally can't even act his way out of a paper bag, but people fell for this? -_-

Edit: btw I wouldn't be surprised if he bought his way into those later roles. It happens a lot with minor or even mid-budget movies - daddy's little darling having some help kick-starting their career, or a rich dude's vanity project/tax scam.

Well his pitch was he found these movies before them and secured the rights to them so then Netflix/HBO would have no choice but to purchase from him but the issue is he neither tried to actually do this or had the talent to do so

I think the investors fell for it because majority of Netflix movies are rated below 50% by critics anyways lmao If there was a company to go bankrupt I would be alright with them doing so. Too much I despise of their platform for anyone to stay intrigued as users of their platform.
