From there things spiraled quickly out of control. Enjoy Part 1.

This video is an opinion and in no way should be construed as statements of fact. Scams, bad business opportunities, and fake gurus are subjective terms that mean different things to different people. I think someone who promises $100K/month for an upfront fee of $2K is a scam. Others would call it a Napoleon Hill pitch.

KZfaq is filled with scams of this nature - that people can use algorithmic trading platforms, sit back and do nothing while the platform makes them millions. It obviously doesn't occur to the marks that if someone really had a algorithmic trading platform that did this they sure as fuck wouldn't be telling anyone else about it.

@@nerd55120 I agree with Grim, if your not willing to do your own research and trust gains in the 60%/2 month range then you’re getting what you deserve. My mother, from Lebanon, got offered an investment from Lebanese banks to invest and receive 10%/month returns using USD. This was too good to be true I told her not to and a year later the government defaulted on their debt and since all the banks were running one large Ponzi scheme. Keep in mind these were federally regulated banks, so in short, if it is too good to be true you better do your research to ensure that it isn’t.

Coffee has so much more empathy than me, I have a hard time understanding how these millionaires fall to these scams. If you're going to send a million dollars to some random account, you should ask the question, "What is the product?" It's great how they all do some research after they start losing money, but that research needs to be done before you wire the million over.
@bosstechnology23 Жыл бұрын
This is literally why SOME millionaires are millionaires or billionaires. They just throw several million in various directions. When 1 or 2 things hit, they double, maybe even triple their money. SOME do this. A few work certain strategies that end up working out in their favor. Most just gamble with large sums of money just hoping to hook anything that cashes in.

Since the vast majority of wealth consolidated under capitalism is unearned, many rich people are actually incredibly stupid, and since they have so much money, they are inclined to claim that they got their money through ethics and abilities, and by contrast, poor people are poor because of a moral failing. They have to think this way, otherwise they must confront the reality that they're idiots with money they don't deserve. That's capitalism, baby.
