Looks like just another scam artist to sell stuff
- wouldbecouldbe 3y agoI don't think he needs te money tbh
- pcstl 3y agoAs an entrepreneur myself, I can tell you that "needing the money" stops being a significant motivation after a while, or at least takes a back seat to the thrill of just getting people to buy the thing.
- gloryjulio 3y agoWell a lot of the scam artists are rich. It's not like they have stopped scamming
- joenot443 3y agoWith a very, very short amount of research you'd find he has a pretty seasoned track record, having sold Venmo's parent company to PayPal for $800m in 2013. Not exactly the drop-shipping repackaged olive oil salesman you're painting him to be. Personally, I try not to throw out accusations about people when I'm this unfamiliar with their background. I'd encourage you to consider a similar habit :)
- pcstl 3y agoSo he's a successful businessman. How does that background translate to any kind of scientific competence? Because his website is heavy on the buzzwords and the Silicon Valley "glorious future"-talk and remarkably light on anything resembling responsible science. He clearly doesn't want to advance knowledge about longevity, he wants to be the world's top longevity marketer and salesman. It's just a business long shot to him. And yes, that is perfectly congruent with his background.
