He is a Jordan Belfort wannabe.
My favorite Belfort quote, "Smart people don't buy penny-stocks." Well duh... Yet even after watching Wolf of Wall Street people still flock to people like Belfort and Sykes, because they want to 'be' like them... without realizing the only reason these guys are rich is because of the morons they feed off of.
This is the game every penny stock trader, ponzi scheme, pyramid scheme, etc. feeds off of. "Look this guy got rich doing this. I'm going to do it too." :facepalm:
