Here's my experience with Jano. I was going back and forth with a PPL rep on SST, since I was upset that my T levels came back lower than expected, not thinking it was my fault with my first homebrew. The PPL rep insisted that I get the raws tested; on PPL's website, it literally states he will not except Jano testing, so I thought I'd make it a point to get it from him, thinking that PPL was selling shitty raws or something and afraid of Jano.
I overnighted a sample of my raws, which I paid a shitton for shipping. Jano got me the results literally the next day. As much as PPL and Jano hate each other, and Jano had the chance to literally say his raws were garbage, he did the exact opposite.

So I don't get it...
The only thing that could be a scam, is if people on this board are lying for Jano and get kickbacks saying they sent him blind samples but didn't. But due to him getting thousands of samples from all kinds of people, you'd have to see how this conspiracy would be rather large to uphold, especially with all the competing UGLs here.
I can see how the first scandal was bad; and frankly, we are in a drug business full of CRIMINALS, so what do you expect lol? Literally every one of us here is breaking the law, especially those of us in the US. This doesn't justify what Jano did back then, but if he stopped doing it, and he did it to save face at a critical time of his business so he could build up his brand, I can understand, although I wouldn't have lied. But now he has apparently proven himself thousands of times, and due to my experience, I see no reason to believe he is still lying or scamming.
Granted, could he have literally made up the results to this test? Sure. Could it be possible that he just literally takes in samples and grades them at random with made up numbers? Sure. The only way to know is to test the same sample with two different testing sources, so you would send the same sample to two different labs and see what they say.
But none of this explains the blind testing results.
