I'm amazed he got so many people to look past the obvious fraud. I guess that's what getting a piece of the action will do.

I'd think a whole heck of a lot of morons thought that his very important intelligent exceptionally-credentialled parents gave him the very best of pedigreed bona fides.

"Ha! Fooled ya!"

It is not rare for really smart parents to produce idiot children. You guys can use all the finance-world clues you want to prove how this guy smelled.

For me it was a 30-yr. old guy who lisps like a toddler. Screaming sirens from the first video clip I saw.

His gain of a few billion via some smart arbitrage trading made him a financial genius to many. He built a fine house of cards as he was blessed by the right teams.

OTOH, imagine all those who bought Bitcoin at $65k/coin as it sits at $16k. Greater fools eventually learn the hard way. But they do well until they don't.
