"he's rich therefore he has no incentive to scam anyone" is not a good heuristic, though it will help you get a degree from Trump University.

"he's rich therefore he has no incentive to scam anyone" is not a good heuristic, though it will help you get a degree from Trump University.

Anyone can follow what he does without giving him a penny.

What he does is run a YouTube channel that appears to do that. That makes it an ideal vehicle to advertise supplements with little research or scientific backing to an uninformed and trusting audience.
- WarmWash 3mo agoEach day the stock market likely moves his NW more than the ARR of his supplement company. Again, if he is trying to run a supplement scam with an NW north of $1B, he needs some pointers. Dude could announce an AI startup tomorrow and get more funding than any of his current companies would make in a lifetime.
