Thank god, that guy was incredibly obnoxious.

You can say that again. A total narcissist scammer of the worst kind. He started with Viagra spam and then found crypto shilling. He liked to hang out on HN to shill his scams and recruit developers, but I may have accidentally made him feel uncomfortable by asking him lots of pointed questions about his past, and he hasn't shown his face in a while. His go-to response is literally "Dodge, dodge!" His real name is actually Richard J Schueler, under which he is famously known as the "Spam King", for being one of the first people in the world to be successfully sued for online spam, specifically the Viagra spam scheme that he ran from Panama (which he lost).

  Given the difficulties in payments when it comes to gray-market dick pills, I’m surprised he wasn’t an early bitcoin whale and made more than enough from that to just retire.

  No way. Hilarious. Yeah, I also have noticed that many successful internet scammers, or investment frauds, tend to do it again and again and again.

  This guy was famous for posting these photos flaunting how much money he was wearing. It blows my mind to think someone could be this open about doing this

    It blows my mind people invest money with a guy doing this so openly

      I feel like it's fairly common for scammers to show off a fabulously wealthy lifestyle real or imagined. For some people it makes them think "whose money did they spend to get all that?" and for others it makes them thing "if I give them my money to invest too soon I'll be on the plane"

        It’s true. Designer clothes and social media is a weak flex though. Or, I’m just of an age/mind to see it as such. I can see how people fell for Bernie Madoff at a certain point. The social proof was strong.

    You can rent a fancy car, take a selfie with it, post it on instagram saying "DM me for a ONCE IN A LIFETIME investment" and take home $100k no problem. Some people have no idea how money works.
