On multiple occasions Tommy has claimed he was the first American to work on Sonic the Hedgehog, but this is not true at all.

• Tommy submitted three tracks for Sonic and the Black Knight (which he didn't write) which was released in 2009. Americans had worked on Sonic since the 90's. Here is a video about it that debunks the claim, and here is a Reddit thread discussing it.

Tommy has said many times that he performed a world record breaking concert in front of 750,000 people, with over a hundred thousand of those being in the stadium.

• Actually, he only performed in front of 2,086 people, with the rest of the number coming from online views. The official Guinness World Record website says this. And here is a video showing Tommy's claim that he made many times.

Tommy has liked to claim that he is a "Yankee hall of fame" baseball player. He even made his claim in an Intellivision Amico investor document.

• The reality is that he paid to go to a Yankee fantasy camp, and by paying to do this five times was put in to a "Fantasy camp hall of fame". Here is a video covering it, and here is a scan of an article talking about the Fantasy camp with a mention of Tommy's involvement.

Tommy once tried to smuggle over $100,000 in cash across the border from Brazil to the USA. When caught, he tried to blame it on his unsuspecting Video Game Live musicians who had nothing to do with it.

• Here is a link to the court case, and here is a Twitter thread where one of the musicians Tommy tried to throw under the bus talks about her experience.

Tommy has tried to take credit for the music and sound direction in the original Prince Of Persia when the music already existed before he got involved.

Tommy once asked his fans to leave fake testimonials/positive comments on their StartEngine page to persuade people to invest.

• In February 2022, Intellivision started another investment crowdfunding campaign, this time on StartEngine. In private DMs (shown here) Tommy asked his fans to "rally the troops" and leave positive comments to try and persuade people to invest. One of those that left a comment was an undisclosed investors themselves (DJC/Charles Y). StartEngine closed Intellivision's campaign to "protect" their investors.

Tommy liked using a rehearsed line asking if people's parents were still alive to try and emotioinally manipulate them into being Amico fans.

• During many of the streams and interviews he did to promote Amico, Tommy repeatedly used a scripted line asking if peoples' parents were still alive to try and get them emotionally invested in Amico. This video shows many examples of him doing it.

Tommy on multiple occasions has made the claim that Symphony magazine wrote an article about him/Video Games Live and said that Tommy had "saved symphonies" around the world.

At PRGE 18, when Tommy announced Amico, he claimed that the Amico would be more powerful at 2D than Playstation or Xbox due to its "21st century 2D chip and architecture".

• This was seen by multiple people, including the person who recorded the event (who Tommy asked to remove his 2D claim), yet Tommy has tried to deny that he said it, and claimed those people are lying. Here is an in-depth look at the claim.

Tommy once said that James Cameron asked him to write music for Terminator 2... two years after the movie had come out.
