My personal hypothesis is that people keep attributing the successes of SBF to his intellect rather than a mix of intellect and luck, like the rest of us mere mortal. That list could as well include SBF himself. One can be lucky often but not forever, and sooner or later the "prodigies" see the fault in their impeccable algorithms.

this is it. Luck can look a lot like genius. We see it everywhere. And when you have credentials behind you, you really start to attribute luck to your genius.
