It's not entirely clear, but I gather one of the following occurred: either 1) The person convinced Reddit they are a wealthy app developer, by using fake sources, or 2) The person is actually a wealthy app developer, and is trolling Reddit by telling them he was faking it.

I don't know but #2 is equally as likely as #1. I just went through his FB profile[1] and some reddit comments[2] and this is just too much shit for it not to be real. I guess if this is a fake then it has to be one of the best fakes i've read online in the last 10 years.

There's a YouTube channel with 60k subs and dozens of supercar videos, those would be pretty hard to fake
