The problem with money is too much, too fast, modifies the mindset of the holder. I know very good and smart people who earned money the ‘easy’ way change into douche bags or idiots or sometimes both. This is just another example.

To be honest I think he started out honestly with his true mission, not trying to scam anyone, but when he saw all that money in his bank account he probably thought “I guess I made it?” And decided to drop the whole thing.

The thing about people like him is, they are usually extremely careless and will eventually lose all that money without too much effort, either he will spend carelessly in gambling, or get caught by the feds, or burn it in some other way.

It’s usually always the same story. It doesn’t last. I studied someone who won a lot of money from a gambling business, to people who inherited a lot of money from family, to people who get money from investors without putting in much effort. They all usually end in the same way, they lose it all, and it’s usually because of bad management of wealth.

My hypothesis is that when they get money the shortcut way what they don’t get is the management skill that is required for having a lot of wealth. Money is fascinating, in what it does to the mind of the holder. How money reaches the holder, usually determines how long it lasts as well.

I’m studying a few more group of people, my hypothesis has not been wrong yet. People who work hard for their money tend to be able to make less go much further. They seem to be much more efficient, and are usually very good at turning 100 into 1000.
