I think the bigger issue is that you're calling it a business.
It's not a business, it was a hobby/bot/side project whatever you want to call it (I'm still not quite sure what it does and don't really want to delve so far into the depths of stupidity to understand it) and it never made any money.

He wasn't an idiot for making poor decisions. Everyone makes poor decisions. But he was an idiot for thinking this could ever be a business (and staking apparently his personal savings and credit cards on it). Let's not tip-toe around the issue. Calling someone an idiot isn't as big a deal as you think it is.
We all had some wishful thoughts at one point or another.
This is just a cautionary tale of a guy who spent too much money on a hobby.
