There are a lot of little red flags littered throughout the book. One thing that rankled me was his assertion that he independently discovered Black-Scholes before Merton/Black/Scholes and offered as evidence a chart that post-dated the original paper. There's a lot of stuff like that in the book.

Don't get me wrong, this is a person with many admirable characteristics. Just don't drink the Kool-Aid.
