GREEN BAY, Wis. /ScoopCloud/ -- Poor people are poor because they choose to be poor, says 'professional plaintiff' turned children's book author Cory Groshek, who is also the founder of personal growth and development brand Manifestation Machine.

It isn't that Groshek doesn't like poor people; he just doesn't want to be one of them. And he doesn't want your children to be one of them, either, which is why he published his debut, middle-grade fiction book, "Breaking Away: Book One of the Rabylon Series" (ISBN: 978-1946029003), in late 2016, as a means of teaching children and their parents about what he calls "the success-oriented mindset we all need to achieve financial freedom."

Groshek, who became infamous in June 2016, when the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel ran what he calls "a defamatory hit-piece" on him entitled "'Professional plaintiff' uses credit law to threaten companies, win $230,000 in settlements," has, by his own admission, earned nearly three quarters of a million dollars to date - far more than has previously been reported-through private legal settlements with almost 50 American companies over what he calls their "willful violations of their job applicants' and employees' rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act" (known as the FCRA, for short). Accordingly, he believes that he is uniquely qualified to dispense advice to others with regards to their financial futures.

"I didn't earn all of this settlement money by accident. I earned it, despite me not being an attorney and having no legal background or negotiating experience to speak of, for one reason and one reason only: I know how to create my own reality," says Groshek. "And with God as my witness, I am going to teach everyone with ears to hear to do the same, because the last thing I want is to see our kids growing up to become what I was just a little over three years ago."

A little over three years ago, Groshek says he was "30, going on 31 years old," living paycheck to paycheck, stuck in a dead-end, customer service call center job, sleeping on his retired father's couch, and in over $10,000 of credit card debt.

But now, he is financially independent, the owner of his own business (Manifestation Machine), living in a paid-off house, and completely debt-free, thanks to what he calls "the four C's of success," his personal process for manifesting what he calls "a life worth dying for"-a process which is embodied in his children's book and which he hopes to soon "bring to the masses" via a soon-to-be-released series of "metaphysical self-help books" and seminars geared toward helping adults become successful.

"As much as it may pain the general population for me to say this, the truth is, poor people are poor because they choose to be poor, just like I'm financially independent because it's what I choose to be," Groshek says. "When most people wake up every day, they focus not on what they want, but on what they don't want, or, in other words, they make their decisions based on fear, rather than on faith, and it's for that reason that they attract more and more of what they don't want into their lives, as opposed to what they do want.

"But through my book and my brand, I can and I will change that, even if it means rubbing a lot of people 'the wrong way', because I'm here to tell people what they need to hear, not what they want to hear, which is the truth-even if it hurts."

"Breaking Away: Book One of the Rabylon Series," which follows two young bunnies, Remy and Rhea, as they attempt to escape their impoverished, North-Korea-like village of Rabylon for the promise of abundance and prosperity that lies just on the other side of a big, green hill, is available now as a Kindle e-book, Audible audio book, and in paperback.

GREEN BAY, Wis. /ScoopCloud/ -- Manifestation Machine, a global personal growth and development brand, today announced the release of "Breaking Away: Book One of the Rabylon Series" (ISBN: 978-1946029003), the debut, middle grade fiction novel from Cory Groshek, a man dubbed a "professional plaintiff" by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel who, in early 2015, filed three Class Action lawsuits over alleged violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, including one against cable giant Time Warner Cable.

Groshek, also known as fitness and fasting guru Low Carb Cory on YouTube and rapper Cory Crush, made headlines on June 25th, 2016 when the Journal Sentinel reported that he had earned over $230,000 through private settlements with more than 20 companies he'd accused of violating the law. In reaction to that report, which Groshek calls "a one-sided hit piece, probably paid for by Time Warner Cable," many have labeled Groshek an "extortionist" and a "scumbag," despite the fact that he's never been charged with or convicted of extortion, while others have branded him a "hero," a "one man [Federal Trade Commission]," and a "Robin Hood" of sorts who has taken from the rich (the companies he's settled with) and given to the poor, in the form of his book which, coincidentally, happens to be about "escaping poverty and finding abundance."

"A lot of people want to make me out to be the bad guy," says Groshek, "but personally? I like to think of myself as more of an anti-hero-something like the Bruce Wayne of children's book authors."

When asked about some of his critics' claims that he has used his settlement money simply to "enrich" himself, Groshek stands firm behind what he calls his "consumer rights work," which he openly admits has funded his foray into the world of fiction.

"Sure, I could have used the money simply to 'enrich myself,' or 'taken the money and run,' as they say, but I didn't," he says. "Instead, I've used it to put out a children's book, because my goal is and always has been to make this world a better place, not just for me, but for everyone - especially our children. And I believe my book does that."

Groshek's book, which has already earned multiple 5 star reviews on Amazon.com, follows two young bunnies, Remy and Rhea, as they attempt to escape from their impoverished village, Rabylon, and its tyrannical, dictator-like Mayor, en route to a mythical carrot paradise and what Groshek calls "a life worth dying for." Along the way, they learn the value of dreaming big, taking risks, trusting their gut, and choosing faith over fear in everything they do - values that Groshek believes should be taught in school but, unfortunately, are not.

"Breaking Away: Book One of the Rabylon Series" is available now on Kindle and in paperback, with its audio book version scheduled for release later this month.

Groshek's lawsuits versus Time Warner Cable and Great Lakes Higher Education (cases 0:16-cv-03711 and 0:16-cv-03355, respectively) are currently on appeal with the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, with oral argument scheduled for 2/22/2017. His lawsuit versus Alliance Hospitality Management (case 3:15-cv-00065, Wisconsin Western District Court) is currently stayed and pending a decision on a Motion to Dismiss filed by Alliance.
