... badly. This to me is one of the funniest parts of the story. He wasn't even good at it[1][2].

- gurchik 3y agoHe is bad at League, but that article framing it as some kind of mental disorder is grasping at straws. 20% of all League players are in the Bronze tier. I've probably played more League than SBF has and I'm still Silver. Why? Because I'm just trying to have fun with my friends. Not everyone is trying to climb the ladder. A lot of guitarists have been playing for years and only know the basic chords because that's all they want to play. There's nothing wrong with that. The other examples the article points to that SBF has "fried his brain" are not compelling to me either. The author is attempting to explain how SBF could have lost all this money. I think the simplest explanation is that his "intellectual ability" has nothing to do with it, he's just a crook who thought he would get away with it.
