Sorry, I find it hard to take the word of someone who was convicted of committing fraud. Fraud that was committed before these claims were made. I guess defrauding his investors was also some 11th dimensional chess move designed to show the weakness of the financial industry, right?

Move over Jesus, we have a new martyr who suffers for our salvation.

That's an extremely valid point. But there are documented cases of it being true.

Can you link to any documented cases? I searched and couldn't find any that weren't reported on by him or the company, not exactly independent sources.

Here's at least one, and IIRC there were others sprinkled throughout this topic when it was much smaller. They're probably much harder to find now.
