The reason why I bring this video up is because it's funny. Why is it funny? Because when the government commit scams and steel money they get away with it SCOTT FREE. What this guy did is PEANUTS in comparison what our government does.


Oh the hypocrisy, eh guys?

He didn't.  He didn't even TRY.  He pulled a long-term INVESTMENT TRADING scam.

Yep. There's a lot of woo--especially numerology--in the investment world. I wrote an article on this for the now-defunct Skeptic Wiki, in fact. I miss that place...
