I didn't even say a 30x return of his net worth was impossible, I said it's "hard to believe" and "very high'.

It's simple if you have the talent.

E.g. here's a person who deposited $1000 in cash into a trading account and wound up with $100,000 after just 10 months of trading. That's a 100x return.[1]

Think of how rich that person could have been had she decided to continue her trading!
