Tai Lopez was charged by the SEC for a 120 million dollar Ponzi scheme and people are STILL going to see him speak. WHY?

For the love of God, how many times does this asshat have to scam people before they see through his sociopathic bullshit? The man has been a scammer since day 1 when he started 20 dating sites and filled them with bots, while refusing to let people quit their membership. How stupid do you have to be to follow this guy and believe he knows what he's talking about? \- Created an NFT scam that lost 95% of value immediately \- Bought the rights to Radio Shack, Dress Barn and a bunch of shitty companies. Used this portfolio to fleece investors. Not one company made money. \- Claimed his sister had experience managing multi million dollar companies. She was a dog walker and interned at a radio station \- Promised 20% returns if people invested in his shitty portfolio of distressed companies There is an active FBI investigation against him and I cannot wait till the 5am raid where they cuff his ass and throw him in next to Andrew Tate.

    I haven’t heard any updates on this case? Anyone know what’s going on and where we’re at with that

    Some people think that these are problems that **only** hyper-successful people have. As someone moderately successful you may have some issues with IRS to the tune of 4 to 5 digits; and it's not the end of the world. So having those issues, is somewhat a stamp of approval for people who are naive enough to not look into things further.
