Dave Ramsey's empire faces scrutiny following a TikTok video exposing alleged fraud and discriminatory practices. A former employee of Dave Ramsey's company shared a video on TikTok detailing a number of controversial points surrounding the well-known financial guru and his business dealings.

Moreover, the video alleges that the company is run by individuals lacking relevant financial degrees and that Ramsey has been involved in multiple lawsuits, including one related to timeshare fraud. The video also alleges that the company has deeply restrictive policies towards its employees, including firing those for their sexual orientation or for having children outside of marriage. The author of the video, who identifies as a graduate of a Dave Ramsey program, states, "Aside from my personal opinion that he is a mean bully who uses shame to convince people they aren’t working hard enough, there’s a lot of questionable aspects to Dave Ramsey and his business." This statement highlights the emotional weight of the accusations. The video also shows news clips from various sources that appear to corroborate these claims. The video's popularity and the serious nature of the allegations make it a compelling story for a media article.
