Former Vante CFO Adam Smith struck a nerve when he put up a video of himself bullying a worker at the Chick-fil-A drive-thru window.

There was widespread criticism, and he was promptly fired from his position at Vante for how he acted.

Now, Smith has taken to YouTube again, posting a nearly eight minute video in which he apologizes and clarifies some questions that have been floating around......

If I was this idiot’s wife, he would be wifeless and the locks would be changed before he ever got home after posting that piece of crap and putting his entire family in danger.

He’s dressed up.
He’s wearing very expensive trendy glasses.
He’s pro gay-marriage.
He’s in very good shape.
He works with a CYCLING charity.
He has 4 kids, adopted, 2 of which are “special needs”
He refers to being married, but not to a “wife”

Does anyone know who he is married to, whether or not it is a man or a woman? I would not be surprised at all if he is married to a man.

Makes me wonder how he treated his secretary. Demeaning?
Keep digging that hole.

You are right, leave the girl out of it. It was a violation of her privacy, never mind the ridiculous verbal assault, by a narcissistic A-HOLE! Putting himself on youtube, believing he would be lauded by the intelligent powers that be. What an ego-testical Dunce!

“...silent treatment.” It’s still all about him. The young woman placed a barrier between herself and a noxious influence Next step, if necessary, is a restraining order.

He’s suddenly apologetic since he has no anonymity. Can such an individual be respected? There are a good number of FReepers who have unfortunate financial, legal, personal and political situations. Do they behave badly in public and post to Youtube?

Is UofA retaining him as adjunct faculty? Would anyone accept the “expertise” of an obviously unstable individual?

I hadn't seen the video before today, I was content to accept the reports and commentaries as sufficient.

It seems though, he must keep yammering, so I decided to see both videos.

Rachel darlin, if I was younger ....


Now the asshole said he had a young family ... I concur it is with Steve and Steve's child he stole from his wife after she found out Steve was a faggot.


And Steve will now leave Adam 'cause Adam ain't got no money and Adam's a sociol pariah ...

So happy ... so ... gay ...

Adam Smith may have a masters degree but he doesn't seem to be too smart or much of a forward thinker.
A man with his education should know better than to mess with people who prepare your food out of your sight.

Now every fast-food joint and restaurant worker in Tucson knows who he is and what he did to one of theirs.
You can bet that many of them will include a secret present for him with future food orders.

Actually, I was thinking that Chick-Fil-A ought to offer this guy a job (certainly not CFO stuff), and demonstrate some Christian behavior that folks haven’t seen in a long time....the fine art of forgiveness. The media would clamp down on the entire episode within forty-eight hours, and never mention Chick-Fil-A again.

He was given a valuable lesson, I seriously doubt he’s learned anything. That goes for all the others who share this creature’s malignant ideology.

It’s a nice idea, but I’m very much aware that, in general, businesses really worry about disgruntled employees.

They can make a LOT of trouble.

“explains what happened that day”

Yeah, we’re too stupid to understand so we need an explanation.
We’ve heard this patronizing song-and-dance before from Barry.

Interesting comments at end of article. Someone even said that his denial of him being gay is false as Brietbart had a screen capture of his FB page saying he was interested in men? Not sure if there is a story there but wonder if this is all part of something else? Someone might want to dig into that if they are looking for an angle on this story. M2C.

I won’t be watching the apology video, but did he apologize to the group of people waiting for the movie? He tried to drag them into his sordid dealings.

Thanks, I just went and started reading the comments.

I liked this one:

"....... Smith is talking himself into the bigger hole of being completely unemployable. (Unless Doofus-Ranter is a job category.) "

He said in the video that he didn’t have a gay in him. Maybe not but I’m thinking he’s seen one up close.
