The people being interviewed are the ones selling their courses to others. Of course they’re going to claim it’s very lucrative. If someone was losing money from something they’re trying to sell, they wouldn’t go on record with a newspaper proclaiming their losses to the world.

Perhaps, but at this point you're just assuming they're scoundrels. The article says he makes most of his income from trading. The first week of his course is free. It's $50/week after that. This is not a Bezos level of wealth.

Actually, one time payment of $50 for a lifetime access. Still high for their salaries though, it'd be something like $2,000 in US.
