Because of the subject they're responding to, perhaps. They're a top-level visible reply to an article about a hedge fund 20-something getting sent to prison for years, so perhaps I'm dim but I'd say there are troves of better articles about hedge funds to be asking for guidance on how to get there, unless the "there" is prison of course.

Although I might just be dim, and you and I simply don't have the same understanding of context then.

They're asking about how the scammer obtained a seemingly undeserved visa, not about how to scam people.

Then I apologize for misunderstanding the point of the post, and it's probably better for me to leave the whole chain without edit after this realization.

No worries! I was feeling a bit stick yesterday so apologize if the original doesn’t make much sense. Above is right, I was wondering how I could do something similar but legitimately, since last I checked biggest issue for me would be the immigration.

I know I’m in a super good situation, especially compared to others in the rest of the world, but there’s still that feeling when you know you’re ready for a new stage in your life yet some invisible hand is holding you back.

I'm not from the US but I have heard of a sometimes tough road to take no matter how anchored and "productive" you are. In case the road is blocked in the US I'll offer the insight that Canada is a very welcoming country too :) (it has taken this European in, for one).

I wish you the best of luck with that immigration process.
