The owner of a $3.4 million Lamborghini yacht screamed 'I will kill you' and threw $100 bills into the water when told he couldn't use a private dock

• The owner of a Lamborghini yacht threatened a private dock employee, per CBS8.
• The employee said Ajay Thakore mooned and threw cash at him after being told he couldn't use the dock.
• Thakore, the CEO of Doctor Multimedia, issued an apology through his public relations team.

The owner of a $3.4 million Lamborghini yacht threatened a private dock employee after being told he couldn't be there, the San Diego-based broadcaster CBS8 reported on March 11.

Joseph Holt, a 21-year-old employee at Marriot Marina in San Diego, told CBS8 that he spotted the yacht sailing into the private dock. The owner, whom CBS8 identified as Ajay Thakore, tried to pick another person up at the dock, Holt said.

"I told him respectfully that he couldn't be there, and I honestly was hoping to have a conversation with him about his cool boat," Holt told CBS8.

In a YouTube video posted by @SM-wc9eq on March 10, a dark blue Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63 is seen sailing out of a dock. A man in a gray T-shirt, a pair of jeans, and a cap was shown standing on the yacht. The man appeared to be Thakore, per CBS8.

Thakore was shown shouting at Holt. "I will kill you, you know I will kill you!" he can be heard saying multiple times in the video

Thakore was later shown pounding his fist on his palm and pointing his thumb down before telling Holt: "To your face!" Holt was shown responding by pointing his middle finger at Thakore.

"I really was trying to restrain myself from getting fired from my job or stepping out of line. The only thing I did was give him the bird," Holt told CBS8.

Holt said Thakore then took $100 bills from his wallet and threw them at him. He added that Thakore mooned him. This exchange was not shown in the video.

"He was saying I'm nobody, I'm nothing, I work a silly job. He said that he knows people, he has connections, he can change my life and ruin it," Holt said. Holt did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment.

The San Diego Harbor Police arrived at the marina 10 minutes after Thakore's yacht exited the dock, per CBS8.

The Harbor Police told Business Insider that Holt decided to press charges against Thakore and that they are investigating the incident.

According to Thakore's LinkedIn page , he's the CEO of Doctor Multimedia. The company's website shows that it's a healthcare marketing firm based in San Diego. Thakore appears to go by the name Ace Rogers on Instagram and TikTok, where he's noted as being a professional gambler.

Thakore, through his public relations team, told CBS8 in a statement that his altercation with Holt was "regrettable."

"What started as a minor misunderstanding escalated into an argument, and I apologize for my actions and to those who witnessed the unfortunate exchange," the statement said. Thakore did not immediately respond to a request for comment from BI.

Thakore isn't the only CEO who's been called out for threatening another person. In November 2021, an Activision spokesperson told BI that its ex-CEO Bobby Kotick had previously apologized for telling his assistant he would have her killed. The spokesperson added that Kotick's threat was "obviously hyperbolic and inappropriate" and that "he deeply regrets the exaggeration and tone."

In June 2020, Lisa Alexander, the CEO of LaFace Skincare, a cosmetics company, apologized in a statement to the media after she had threatened to call the police on her neighbor for writing "Black Lives Matter" on his property. Alexander said in the apology that she was "disrespectful" and "should have minded my own business."

Fitness influencers swear by the ‘carnivore diet'—it's ‘basically a terrible idea,' doctor says

By renée onque,cnbc • published march 30, 2024 • updated on march 30, 2024 at 9:10 am.

Beef, butter, bacon and eggs — that's what some influencers swear by for the " carnivore diet ." The diet beefs up on meat and minimizes or cuts out fruit and vegetables entirely.

On TikTok, people can be seen eating bowls of steak and 12 scrambled eggs all in one day — and some even snack on a stick of butter , biting off a piece the way one would a carrot.

The diet, similar in style to the Atkins and keto diets, goes by many names: carnivore diet, lion diet, high-fat diet and animal-based diet. Devout followers of the lifestyle boast that their skin is clearer than it's ever been, their gut is healthier and they're in the best shape of their lives.

"One of the best things that's happened since I quit the vegan diet and went carnivore is that my body odor just disappeared," TikToker @steakandbuttergal said in one of her videos . "I don't use any soap, I don't use any deodorant and I smell amazing."

Here's what experts have to say about the safety and sustainability of the carnivore diet.

The carnivore diet 'sounds like basically a terrible idea'

Increasingly popular ‘high-functioning' label uses success at work or in school to mask poor mental health, psychologist says

Weight loss is one of the huge benefits that people who follow the carnivore diet claim they've experienced since adding more animal-based products to their diet. This is likely because the eating pattern also cuts down on carbs, says Dr. Walter Willett , a professor of epidemiology and nutrition at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

"It's possible that some people who have been eating a lot of refined starch and sugar may get better in the short run," with the carnivore diet, Willett says. "But this sounds like a diet that is going to be very unhealthy in the long run."

With a diet of just beef, butter, bacon and eggs, people won't get enough fiber, carotenoids and polyphenols which are rich in fruits and vegetables.

Getting fiber in your diet is vital for gut health and can lower your chances of developing depression and breast cancer . Carotenoids have cancer-fighting properties , and polyphenols have properties that can protect against the development of health conditions like diabetes, heart disease and cancer.

The foods that are prominent in carnivore diets also contain high amounts of saturated fat and cholesterol, Willett adds.

In a 2012 study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, Harvard researchers found that of more than 100,000 men and women, "People in the study who ate the most red meat tended to die younger, and to die more often from cardiovascular disease and cancer," according to Harvard Health Publishing .

Despite the multitude of studies that connect red meat consumption and heart disease , some people just don't agree that consuming red meat often is bad for your heart.

"This is the the mainstream messaging that we hear about red meat. It's essentially been blamed for all kinds of human health catastrophes, from cardiovascular disease to colon cancer," says Dr. Georgia Ede , a Harvard-trained, board-certified psychiatrist who specializes in nutritional psychiatry.

"They're based almost entirely on a type of research method called nutrition epidemiology, which is just untested theories, essentially, guesswork, about how red meat might be affecting us, that have never been tested in clinical trials and been found to be supported," Ede says. "Then the rest of the very little additional evidence that does come from experimental studies, that comes from very strange animal studies."

To better understand how food intake may lead to disease, researchers have study participants write down or complete surveys about what they've eaten, which are all self-reported.

Some believe that this is a flawed way of coming to conclusions about how foods impact health, but experts have yet to land on a better alternative.

'If you're eating that kind of meal, you're helping bring down another tree'

But even if people are really weary about the way in which nutritional studies are conducted, what can't be denied are the effects of meat production on the climate.

To this, Ede says: "Industrialized food production, whether it's plants or animals, is really very harmful for the planet."

And while this is true, there is a clear difference between how much the production of plant foods is impacting the environment versus animal-based products. The emissions of global greenhouse gases, like methane, from the production of animal-based foods are double that of the production of plant-based foods.

"In addition to the direct health effects that are going to be quite adverse," Willett says. "There's also the issue of justice that basically the Global North, Europe [and] the United States, cause most of the problems with climate change that we have today, and this sort of perpetuates that."

"You can think [that] if you're eating that kind of meal, you're helping bring down another tree on the other side," he adds. "Sounds like basically a terrible idea."

Will San Diego’s next fire chief come from outside? With 3 in-house candidates, city launches national search for top job

The new chief will take over at a crucial time: A firefighter shortage is being blamed for ballooning overtime costs, and the department must decide whether to continue with its ambulance takeover.

• Show more sharing options
• Copy Link URL Copied!

San Diego hasn’t hired an outsider to run its Fire-Rescue Department in more than two decades, but it’s expected to take a harder look at doing so this spring.

While the city has three legitimate in-house candidates to replace retiring Fire Chief Colin Stowell, each has either less or different experience than the firefighters who have previously risen to the top job.

For the record:

8:07 a.m. March 27, 2024 A previous version of this story incorrectly said that all but two of San Diego’s fire chiefs have been White men.

The new chief will take over at a crucial time. A firefighter shortage is being blamed for ballooning overtime costs, and the department must decide whether to continue with a recent takeover of ambulance deployment.

San Diego firefighters usually oppose hiring an outsider as chief based on concerns someone from another fire agency would struggle to understand the department’s culture and would face a steep learning curve.

An outsider could be unfamiliar with some of the department’s emergency management protocols, how the city handles its wildland-urban interface and San Diego’s unusual topography with many canyons.

The last outsider the city hired to run the department was Jeff Bowman, who was the top fire official in Anaheim before San Diego hired him away in 2002.

But an outsider could be more attractive this time around, because none of the three in-house candidates — Deputy Chief Robert Logan, Assistant Chief Dave Gerboth and Assistant Chief John Wood — have the same depth of experience of the city’s previous fire chiefs.

Logan is considered a rising star and is well-respected by his peers. For the past three years he has been a deputy chief — one level below assistant chief, the rank most previous chiefs held before getting promoted.

Gerboth, assistant chief for emergency operations, has the most experience of the three in-house candidates. His job includes overseeing emergency response, rescues, air operations and dealing with hazardous materials.

Wood holds the city’s other assistant chief position, which oversees business operations and is often considered a better training ground for the top job because it’s a more political and professional position.

That job oversees the department’s data center, employee services, logistics and community risk reduction. The arguable blemish on Wood’s resume is that he skipped the rank of battalion chief on his way up.

Each of the three has been trying to secure support from fellow firefighters since Chief Stowell announced his plans to retire this winter.

The city has indicated it may prioritize diversity in recruiting to lead the department.

Most of San Diego’s 18 fire chiefs have been White men. But there have been some exceptions.

They include Javier Mainar, a Latino who led the department from 2009 to 2015, and Tracy Jarman, an openly gay woman who was chief from 2006 to 2009. Two Black men, John Delotch and Robert Osby, also held the top job before that.

Of the current internal candidates, Logan is Black; Wood and Gerboth are both White.

In a brochure recently created for fire chief applicants, the city says someone who will focus on diversity and equity is a priority. “The ideal candidate must have the ability to plan, direct and review fire service operations and activities, while encouraging a climate of cultural diversity,” the brochure says.

“The ideal candidate will integrate a myriad of new approaches in the department that include eliminating discriminatory practices rooted within inequitable systems, expanding training around systemic racism to address implicit/explicit biases and encouraging a climate of culture diversity,” the brochure continues.

In his weekly newsletter Monday, Mayor Todd Gloria also mentioned diversity.

“We are in search of a dynamic, collaborative and seasoned individual capable of engaging with our diverse community,” he said. “The ideal candidate will have a proven track record in resource management and implementing innovative business solutions.”

To gather public feedback, the city has launched an online survey and scheduled two evening public forums next month.

The first forum is scheduled for Wednesday, April 3, at Martin Luther King Jr. Recreation Center, 6401 Skyline Drive. The second is scheduled for Thursday, April 4, at Kearny Mesa Recreation Center, 3170 Armstrong St.

Both forums are slated to run from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

A link to the online survey and other details about the city’s fire chief search are available at sandiego.gov/next-fire-chief .

San Diego recently hired Bob Murray & Associates, an executive recruitment firm, to lead the national search. The deadline for applications is April 22. The salary range listed for the job is $300,000 to $325,000.

The mayor says interviews with finalists will take place in May and that he’ll make a selection in June. Under that schedule, the City Council would confirm the mayor’s choice in July, and the new chief would take over when Stowell retires in August.

The search for a new fire chief comes just after Gloria chose Scott Wahl last week to become the city’s new police chief . Wahl will replace retiring Chief David Nisleit.

For fire chief, finalists will be interviewed by members of the mayor’s staff and by a panel of community leaders that will be nominated by the mayor and members of the City Council.

In addition to the problems with staffing and overtime, the new chief must deal with the city’s takeover last fall of ambulance scheduling and deployment.

That setup, which operates under what’s called the alliance model, is expected to cut response times and be financially lucrative. But city officials said last week it’s still too early to know the financial impact .

San Diego’s ambulance takeover is making for faster service, fewer violations. But why are there more ambulance calls?

The possible financial benefits remain uncertain, and officials say more data is needed as they near the halfway point of a one-year experiment

The city is also slated to increase its number of fire stations from 51 to 56 in the next few years. New stations are slated for the Torrey Pines area, Black Mountain Ranch, Otay Mesa, Skyline Hills and Fairmount Avenue in City Heights.

While San Diego hasn’t hired an outsider as chief since 2002, Stowell left San Diego in 2016 to lead Heartland Fire & Rescue in El Cajon before coming back to the city for its top firefighting job two years later.

George Duardo, president of the labor union representing city firefighters, didn’t respond to requests for comment on the chief search.
