To millions of fans, he was the fearless leader of a family who lived and breathed custom cars.

But as he now reveals, not everyone who stepped into his garage lived up to that vision.

Some came chasing fame, some chasing fast money, and some carrying hidden knives.

“You can fix a broken engine,” Danny admits.

“But you can’t fix broken loyalty.

” His words sting like gasoline on an open flame.

The first employee he names was a craftsman with undeniable skill, but with ego bigger than the cars he worked on.

“Every build became about his glory, not the shop.

” The arrogance poisoned the air, turning teamwork into rivalry, and what should have been artistry into chaos.

He left not with respect, but with slammed doors and shattered trust.

The second was worse: a man who treated Count’s Kustoms like his personal ATM.

Danny recalls late nights discovering missing funds, invoices that didn’t add up, jobs billed but never finished.

“Stealing from me is one thing,” he says, “but stealing from the shop, from the team—that was unforgivable.

Danny admits he ignored the warning signs: the missed deadlines, the excuses, the sudden bursts of anger.

But when the truth came out—hidden deals, side hustles using the Count’s name—Danny knew he had been played.

“He didn’t just betray me,” Danny says.

“He betrayed the fans who believed in us.

” The fourth name still makes his voice tighten.

This one was family—not by blood, but by bond.

Danny had trusted him with more than cars, had opened doors, given chances no one else would.

But that trust was shattered when personal demons spilled into the garage.

Drugs, recklessness, a spiral that dragged others down with it.

“I wanted to save him,” Danny admits, “but in the end, I had to save the shop.

” Firing him was like cutting off a limb to stop the infection.

The fifth, he says, was the most dangerous of all—not because of theft, or betrayal, but because of apathy.

“He just didn’t care,” Danny recalls, his voice sharp.

“No pride, no passion.

Every car he touched felt like a coffin.

And in this business, you can’t fake it.

” For Danny, that was the ultimate sin.

Count’s Kustoms was built on love for the craft, on pouring soul into steel.

Without that, everything falls apart.

Together, these five names form a shadow list, a gallery of ghosts who nearly derailed the dream.

And while Danny refuses to publicly humiliate them with full names, his words make clear that the scars remain.

But the reality is harsher, and more human.
