That sounds a lot like the wrong kind of model to follow.

Gambling 30K he stole (from his mom!), paying stars to entertain his girlfriend... I wouldn't want to be near that person.

Good on him for being successful he might be rich but he sounds morally bankrupt.

We live in a world were gamblers dominate. Maybe it has to do with the intrinsic ponzi-logic of debt-money. Nearly nothing else than stealing or gambling at crazy risk or beeing the monopolist by birth in the first place leads to success, society pays the bill.

You forgot directly doing everyone over with externalities and being unethical corporate or political backstabber.

Man those documentaries were crazy. I could almost have believed he'd just gotten over his head (in a too full of himself but not actively malicious way) until the end where he's pulling the same idiotic ticket scam from Magnesis while he was awaiting trial for Fyre Fest!
