      @@ph11p3540 There is a reason why a lot c suite executives are borderline psychopaths. You have to be able to be smart and not a complete psychopath with no social skills, but willing to do whatever it takes to "win" and not feel guilty about stepping on others. Also taking the risks needed to get rich is also a trait that many borderline psychopaths can make because they assume (as Sean Quinn almost rightly did) that some form of moral hazard will happen and other people will take the downside of the risk and they don't care.

    The moral of the story to Sean Quinn, and the other fool Sean fitzpatrick, was the idea you can leverage huge ammounts of fake stock in order to prop up real commodities while all the while gambling out of your own narcissism that you'll get super rich while others in the real economy suffer.

      I legitimately don't know what that second half is meant to mean. It wasn't farming that made him rich my man. So I've no idea what relevance that's meant to hold.
      You're basically doing a less extreme version of going upto some midwestern farmer who just hit oil and telling him his farm is useless because farms don't make much money...
      (edit: I'm not saying the guy didn't have an eye for opportunity or smart decision making, but those are different from working hard. I'd imagine most farmers work hard and by your own admission they're not rich, so just working hard clearly isn't the explanatory factor you think it is.)

      Rich/successful people are often keen to push their rags to riches story because that means they are where they are through merit and anyone who didn't make it failed on their own. This guy was handed a farm with valuable resources on it, immediately putting him in a position that only a fraction of others would ever find themselves in yet for some reason feels justified to say his family was poor. If owning a farm with valuables resources on it is poor what are the ordinary people who don't even own their own house, let alone acres of farmable land and mineable resources???
