Son of hated NY landlord calls uber driver a "minimum wage fa - - -t" and more, video goes viral [View all]
foul-mouthed frat bro who was caught on video berating an Uber driver with a stream of vile insults in Michigan has been identified as the son of one of New York's most despised landlords.
The University of Michigan's Tau Kappa Epsilon chapter is investigating Jake Croman, one of its members, for verbally abusing the driver, the Michigan Review reported. According to the New York Daily News, Croman is the son of Steven Croman, a multi-property landlord who is one of the most hated figures in New York real estate.
Uber driver Artur Zawada filmed Jake Croman and a group of his pals harassing him outside his car after Zawada canceled a ride they ordered.
While the whole group rips into the Uber driver, Croman has a starring role. In the video, he pulls out his own phone to film Zawada as he calls the driver a "minimum wage fa - - -t" and mocks him for needing to work "all day."
The insults don't stop there.
Zawada's video has been viewed more than 350,000 times since it was posted on YouTube on March 23. (Caution: It contains vulgar, abusive language.) The driver said in a YouTube comment this was the "4th time that I have been harassed by this rider and his friends."
