Our representative has tried to speak with Julien Bournival-Vaugeois numerous times since Tuesday. Each time, our requests remained unheeded with the one who identifies himself as the “provider of his family”.

The thirty-year-old, who lives in Tampa Bay, Florida, however published a video on Instagram on Tuesday to justify his debts. This had been temporarily removed, but the Journal kept a copy. During this sequence of less than five minutes, he notably accuses a “badly intentioned employee” of having “put him in the hole of about a million dollars”.
“People who say the problem is that I don’t pay my mortgage or my debts, so be it, I hear. I am going through a difficult time and I have never hidden it,” says Bournival-Vaugeois, who appears aboard private jets, yachts and luxury cars on Instagram.
