He's not an "almost incel"? Sure seems like it. Did he spend a lot of money on hookers or something?

No, he spent a lot of time having orgies fueled by amphetamines with "work" colleagues.

  The amphetamines were confirmed but no sources for that claim

So "incel" is often interpreted a couple of different ways, you could be referring to either: - The literal definition - "involuntary celebate" - that he didn't have any sexual partners despite wanting to. There was a fairly widely reported story of him and a few of the FTX guys being part of a polycule. No real way for us to prove anything around this, so take from that what you will. This leaves us with... - The vibe of an incel - a socially awkward, introverted, depressed NEET. He doesn't really fit this either, he seemed comfortable talking, wasn't obviously troubled (a little twitchy, but he did a lot of "self-medication" so ...), he had a real job @ Jane Street for a few years before FTX. I don't really think "incel" or even "almost incel" is the right term for him.

  You’re right. He doesn’t have the awkwardness. He’s probably actually very confident around beautiful women.

  Polycule? NEET? I get distracted wondering why my Mc-A-Fee benefaction has expired, why my nortonn subscription has expired ... thinking about Charming Russian Girls, and when I come back to the internet there's a new language I have to learn.

    Neither are strictly "internet" language, but I feel you. Just be glad you're not on TikTok, it seems they have their own language and euphemisms there, and the teens get rather upset if you don't know them: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/feb/01/mascara-accountants-le-dollar-beans-on-tiktok-nothing-means-what-you-think-it-does https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/feb/01/mascar... But to fill you in on these words. While a couple is a relationship involving two people in a (usually) monogamous relationship, a "polycule" involves a few people in non-monogamous relationships. Not my thing, and I've personally seen them explode for reasons that are probably obvious to you or I from the start, but there we go :) NEET is shorthand for "Not involved in Education, Employment or Training" - it's usually a long-term unemployed person who has lost the motivation to try to get out of that situation.
