Who is Kyle Sandler from HBO’s Generation Hustle?

Kyle Sandler was a businessman. When he got in trouble with the law, everything changed. Kyle is now being featured on HBO’s new show, Generation Hustle. Generation Hustle has 10 documentary-style episodes following con-men. Kyle’s is ninth in the series. Just who is Kyle and what is his story?

Get to Know Kyle Sandler

1) Kyle Sandler blew into Opelika, Alabama. He claimed to be a former Google executive. But, that was a lie. He was simply a con artist. Of course, the people of the Southern town had no idea.

2) He managed to get 1.9 million dollars out of the townspeople. According to AP News, there were more than 50 investors he duped. He formed the Roundhouse as a business incubator. Essentially, Kyle used the funds for his personal finances.

3) One especially tragic thing about Kyle’s scheme was that it roped in a young entrepreneur. Sandler mentored then 13-year-old Taylor Rosenthal. Taylor had an idea for a first-aid vending machine, and Sandler used that idea to gain media attention. Unfortunately, all the “interest” Kyle told Taylor about was fake. Greed got the best of him.

4) At the time the article was written, Kyle was 43. It’s assumed he’s 45 now. He was born in Maryland, and bitten by the business bug early on. He’s known as a “serial entrepreneur.”

5) Kyle’s episode is titled “The Alabama Exit.” Warner Media’s description is: “When self-proclaimed Google alum Kyle Sandler bursts into the tiny town of Opelika, Alabama to launch the Round House business incubator, he promises to turn the town into the “Silicon Valley of the East.” The enchanted residents throw themselves into the project, until a local 14-year-old inventor gains nationwide press for reportedly rejecting a $30 million outside buyout offer. Spooked Round House investors are left wondering: is Kyle who he says he is or were his promises built on lies?” Martha Shane directs.
