When he got in trouble with the law, everything changed.  Kyle is now being featured on&nbsp;<strong>HBO\u2019s new show,&nbsp;<em>Generation Hustle<\/em><\/strong>. <em>Generation Hustle<\/em>&nbsp;has 10 documentary-style episodes following con-men. Kyle&#8217;s is ninth in the series. Just who is Kyle and what is his story?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Get to Know Kyle Sandler<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2) He managed to get 1.9 million dollars out of the townspeople. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/897c540ddfb647e6971bd77d6b12e305\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AP News<\/a>, 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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"708\" height=\"708\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.therealitytv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/kyle-sandler-roundhouse.jpg\" alt=\"Kyle Sandler, Roundhouse\" class=\"wp-image-5632 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.therealitytv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/kyle-sandler-roundhouse.jpg 708w, https:\/\/www.therealitytv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/kyle-sandler-roundhouse-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.therealitytv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/kyle-sandler-roundhouse-150x150.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 708px) 100vw, 708px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 708px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 708\/708;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"708\" height=\"708\" src=\"https:\/\/www.therealitytv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/kyle-sandler-roundhouse.jpg\" alt=\"Kyle Sandler, Roundhouse\" class=\"wp-image-5632\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.therealitytv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/kyle-sandler-roundhouse.jpg 708w, https:\/\/www.therealitytv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/kyle-sandler-roundhouse-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.therealitytv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/kyle-sandler-roundhouse-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 708px) 100vw, 708px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption>Credit: Swindled Facebook.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>3) One especially tragic thing about Kyle&#8217;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 &#8220;interest&#8221; Kyle told Taylor about was fake. Greed got the best of him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"409\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.therealitytv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/kyle-sandler-1.png\" alt=\"Kyle Sandler\" class=\"wp-image-5630 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.therealitytv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/kyle-sandler-1.png 850w, https:\/\/www.therealitytv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/kyle-sandler-1-300x144.png 300w, https:\/\/www.therealitytv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/kyle-sandler-1-768x370.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 850px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 850\/409;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"409\" src=\"https:\/\/www.therealitytv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/kyle-sandler-1.png\" alt=\"Kyle Sandler\" class=\"wp-image-5630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.therealitytv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/kyle-sandler-1.png 850w, https:\/\/www.therealitytv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/kyle-sandler-1-300x144.png 300w, https:\/\/www.therealitytv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/kyle-sandler-1-768x370.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption>Credit: YouTube \/ HBO Max.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>4) At the time the article was written, Kyle was 43. It&#8217;s assumed he&#8217;s 45 now. He was born in Maryland, and bitten by the business bug early on. He&#8217;s known as a &#8220;serial entrepreneur.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5) Kyle&#8217;s episode is titled &#8220;The Alabama Exit.&#8221; Warner Media&#8217;s description is: &#8220;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 \u201cSilicon Valley of the East.\u201d 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?&#8221; Martha Shane directs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Find out more about Kyle when <em>Generation Hustle<\/em> airs April 22 on HBO Max. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Related<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.therealitytv.com\/adam-neumann\/\">Who is Adam Neumann from <em>Generation Hustle<\/em>?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.therealitytv.com\/jiggy-puzzles\/\">Update on Jiggy Puzzles from <em>Shark Tank<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.therealitytv.com\/jeremy-wilson\/\">Who is Jeremy Wilson from HBO&#8217;s <em>Generation Hustle<\/em>?<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Get to know more about Kyle Sandler, one of the cast members of HBO&#8217;s new show, Generation Hustle, with these five facts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":5629,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"neve_meta_sidebar":"","neve_meta_container":"","neve_meta_enable_content_width":"","neve_meta_content_width":0,"neve_meta_title_alignment":"","neve_meta_author_avatar":"","neve_post_elements_order":"","neve_meta_disable_header":"","neve_meta_disable_footer":"","neve_meta_disable_title":"","_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"_FSMCFIC_featured_image_caption":"Credit: Business Alabama on Twitter.","_FSMCFIC_featured_image_nocaption":"","_FSMCFIC_featured_image_hide":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[498],"tags":[499],"class_list":["post-5628","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-generation-hustle","tag-generation-hustle"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Who is Kyle Sandler from HBO&#039;s Generation Hustle?
