Well-spoken and connected dude with MIT and Jane Street on his resume

Except there are thousands (at least) of people in that set.

You're not doing his cult of personality operation justice.

Cult of personality and appetite for risk, legal or not

Talking to Jim Cramer on CNBC with 8 computer monitors behind him. Super articulate kid who got in with the right crowd.

A high charisma stat can get you far until someone calls your bluff and you actually have to fight and know stuff.

But he knows his stuff, he's unethical and deliberately negligent, not incompetent.

Then why’s he behaving with such incompetence throughout this entire prosecution?

Same reason he sucks at League, he isn't good at everything.

He's technically competent. But he also seems to think the entire world works like computers do.

Appropriate, given the recent release of Baldurs Gate 3! Bravo for the comment.

> Talking to Jim Cramer

Talking to TV-personality and confidence man who made up his successful trading record should not result more credibility, but less.

The rise of Jim Cramer absolutely baffles me. His RoR is freakishly low - I have a savings account (with government backed deposit insurance) that performs roughly as well as his choices. The rational play is to ignore him. But for some reason, dude has become something of a shitty king maker.

I’m trying to make a joke about putting cats like SBF on the throne in an outhouse but can’t pull anything together.

There’s a fund that does the exact opposite of what he shills and it does pretty well iirc.
