The article title is more than unfair, it drips with prejudice and, well, racism. When you make the same kind of living from the privacy of a Manhattan apartment by playing rich tycoons, you're a sage:

The title is clearly clickbait. I'll leave it to the scholars at prestigious universities to bicker about why it works as clickbait. As for the title itself, let's just call a spade a spade.

Yeah, I probably should've submitted it with a more pleasant title. "Bobby Fischer of Union Square" or something like that.

Generally speaking, HN prefers you submit with original title, though this may fall under "linkbait":

> Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait.

  Given the article it seems pretty unfair for the NY 
  Post to call him a "hustler".

Hell, they even quote someone who says he's not a hustler:

“I stuck with T.C. because he taught me rather than hustled me.”
