Thanks for the details. I'm very far away from this world but it's always been my suspicion that that is what it takes.

As for your last point, I think if you amass a certain amount of money then you can eventually just get out of that and into something more "legit", it's like buying your way out of morality. I do wonder deep deep down what these people are like in their minds when they're not riding the highs.

I queried this and I got the answer that "the business probably literally wouldnt be profitable, much more profitable this way."

"Fuck em, if they are dumb enough to fall for it, they deserve it. Ill take a pensioners every last dollar if they give it to me."

I "can't fuck" like that indeed. I simple do not have even one tenth within me of what it would require to be able to live and operate like that.

I saw government organisations, Google, payment processors, paypal, all have dealt with him, and somehow the scheme just keeps on working. Probably because everybody involved is making boatloads of money and none of them actually truely give a shit.
