Talented, yes. But as the forensic psychologist cited in NY Times articles suggests, probably a psychopathic (aka sociopathic) personality: virtually without remorse; quietly reveling in his serial "murder of wallets."
There's definitely a lesson here for all business and professional relationships: about not mistaking a person's likability with trustworthiness.
...and not letting subjective impressions or word of mouth consensus overrule basic standards such as diversification of assets and "if it's too good to be true..." skepticism.
A super sad story of a super-sized Ponzi marketer and the pain he can cause :(
