Baker launched the biz after a 2013 appearance on the show but says the business mogul pocketed most of his profits and tried to muscle him out of the company.

But weeks after filming, John revised the deal, offering only $100,000 for a 35 percent stake! “I do not buy a company off just a pitch,” John said about the apparent bait and switch.
