I believe you guys are misinterpreting him. In basic terms he is just saying he is creating a next tier of vip, where it took x amount of dollars or x amount of full sets to reach vip, it now takes 15-20 figures to reach vvip. When he says friends he means anyone who buys from him is a friend, a supporter. He is just rewarding long time customers (friends) who have supported him for 15+ figure releases. Also that doesn't mean new people are excluded, once they fit that quota they will be vvip, again this is all my interpretation and could be entirely wrong, but that's how I understand it. But none of this matters as he hasn't even commented on it again, so things could of changed.
