    It gets weirder.. Apparently, the book has a cult following amongst lots of tech bros, many of whom call themselves, "Postrationalists."

    Can I just say I deeply appreciate that the acronym for I Am Not A Lawyer is IANAL.

    This person sent me a message via Telegram and asking me if I wanted to invest in crypto. I asked them, “Do you make any money off this scam? I can’t believe that anyone’s still dumb enough to invest in this stuff.” Haven’t heard back. :(

    So the kid invested 650k of the money he got from investors and spent 16 million on himself and is declaring bankruptcy to protect himself? Why is he free?

    Also, that is wacking level theft. 16 mil of pissing away money for a person who is 24 years old should be worth the kill. Look at the article and see this little asshole and how he says he is going to pay everyone back. He is a 24 year old worthless conman with a record of conning people. How is he going to pay back millions of dollars of waste? Is he going to make sammiches with Federal Fuckup?

    I totally forgive the people who beat the shit out of him because they did not kill him. He did not invest the money and lose it. He only invested and lost 640k. He stole the rest and pissed it away, unless I am reading the article incorrectly. Maybe I am because he is not in jail and I would think he would be in jail for taking 16million in investments and buying shit for himself.

    I get killing is wrong, but do throw this child into a jail cell for at least 10 years of his young life. He needs a ten year time the fuck out.
