13. "His friend sounds like an Uber Douche" In response to Reply # 6 Mon Dec-15-14 10:57 AM by nipsey
All three plan to attend college next year, but they’re not concerned about classes getting in the way of their goal: “A billion dollars!” Damir said. “By next year!” Mo affirmed the number with a nod. “But it’s not just about money,” he added. “We want to create a brotherhood. Like, all of us who are connected, who are in something together, who have influence, like the Koch brothers …”
“Like in Wolf of Wall Street!” Damir interjected. “And Mo is Jordan Belfort.”
Which is to say: a believer in Wall Street. “A lot of young people do start-ups, but I think it’s a bubble. Trading and investments will always be there. Money will always be rotating—”
“Money never sleeps!” Damir added. “That’s from the Wall Street movie.”
“New York, that’s where the money’s at,” Damir shouted, pulling out a credit card.
This reminded me of an old joke about robbing banks because that’s where the money is. Damir grinned. “My father has a quote,” he said. “It’s really dope: ‘You can rob a bank with a gun, but you can rob the whole world with a bank.’ ”
This means nothing to me because it does not say what his initial investment was...
and how is a 17 year old allowed to trade stock for real...?
You take the blue pill, the story ends. You wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.

He goes to Stuyvesant which means he's way more intelligent than the average person.
men are so simple, and so subject to present necessities, that he who seeks to deceive will always find someone who will allow himself to be deceived. (c)Niccol Machiavelli

I'm not surprised one bit.
Also been hearing shit like the kid in Detroit that made a few hundred thousand building websites back in the early 90's. Duke was proud he was able to buy his parents the Jaguar they always wanted with cash.
