Great vid man. Really disected the mechanations of what i call economic auto immunity, where fraud is the only combative action taken to address fraud, in essence, retraction, it is however one cog in a redundant cycle, no literature on that, maybe have a dig there, avoid going down the confused rabbit hole of philosophy as it offers nothing but glorified poetry without the requisit rhyme. Thing about the cutting edge is not the blade, its the cuts 😂

My aunt was an MLM queen and then a cryptocurrency seller. And there came a point where I absolutely believe she got swept away in the easy money, which she cleaned using real estate that she then rented. She made good money, but the trail of destruction she left with people who bought into her pitch was sad. One guy, an elderly Latino man who couldn’t even speak English, invested $64,000 with her, his life savings, and was totally wiped out. He died, and my aunt just walked away while the guy’s daughter struggled to raise funds for his funeral. So sad.

I work with people who have unsolvable debts in the Netherlands . More and more young people end up having huge debts before they reach 30, because they trusted scammers. People often forget the 'most start up businesses fail 'part . Because most people who failed obviously don't feel like sharing out of fear being called a 'loser' , all attention goes to those who succeeded. This creates a false narrative. A lot of young people that are successful often have rich parents (or other financial backup) to try and fail a few times before succeeding . There's this social media induced illusion that everyone and their mother can start a business and become financially independent without too much problems.. This is when the scammers come in with sweet promises and no guarantees .

One scam that has been around for decades is car accident insurance and fraudulent theft claims when people burn their own cars. We all end up paying for fraud. During Covid, PPP loans and unemployment insurance benefits were scammed in the billions of dollars. So called honest people with a lot of money were committing fraud.

To hear someone reputable actually lay out the reality of how much money is needed to make real ‘full time’ income from investing, as well as recognizing how hard small business actually is. I have a small business, and have worked ungodly hours, while being constantly gaslit by social media and self titled “entrepreneurs” to think that maybe I’m the moron because it’s not been easy, but as time has gone on, I’ve found these types to be frauds and grifters that blow away in a few years.

​@chrisl4999 It's not just essentials my dude. The Bath and Bodyworks (skincare/beauty place) subreddit had a thread earlier this year complaining about how many shoplifters there are and how bold they've gotten since corporate won't allow the employees to do anything to stop them and the store won't call the police until they meet a certain threshold of merchandise stolen to make it "worth it" to prosecute them. Literally had teen girls filling up bags of products and just walking out the door while commenting how easy it is. It wasn't recently but I also stumbled across a subreddit years ago about theft and a thread discussing how to get security tags off of stolen merchandise...the person was someone younger who had stolen from _Hot Topic_ using the excuse of the clothing being a necessity and something something capitalism is evil. A lot of smaller stores (and even chains) are also closing down because of theft making it unprofitable to be in that location, leaving gaps in lower income areas. Walgreens is a particularly good example of this since they're sometimes the only pharmacy nearby for people with no car. So no it doesn't really "make sense" since people aren't stealing bread and milk, and even if they are they aren't doing it once and are causing some businesses to lose so much that they can't operate.

Fraud is definitely one of the top growth sectors, currently.

And, at least in the US, the "getting all the money you can" is deeply embedded into the culture. So much that I think most scammers genuinely think they aren't doing anything wrong.

It's how you get people with PH.Ds and multiple degrees sending thousands to some check scam. Or how you get people who scoff and laugh at those in MLMs throwing all of their money into game stop stocks and NFTs. They target the emotionally desperate.

One of the most common things to hear someone say when purchasing a scratch-off lottery ticket is: "Give me a winner!" I look at them and ask, "Why would I knowingly give you a winning ticket rather than keep it for myself?" They then ignore me and start a cycle of buying a ticket, scratching the ticket, buying another ticket, scratching the ticket, etc. This goes on, winning and losing until they have dipped into their funds long enough for them to realize how close they are to having to skip meals or walk to work. I once told a woman, who was handing me a solid inch-thick stack of scan sheets, that if she quit playing the lottery, she could probably retire from her job.

I never personally fell for any of these investment or passive income scams because I assumed that they required the sort of extroverted, go-getter, hustler personality that you also need for normal sales jobs and I just didn’t have. It’s only in the last few years that I’ve realized how much of that stuff was scams, and how much I was falling for it in an emotional way even if I never lost any money in it. But as the non-scam opportunities for success wither, I suppose this is what you get.

I don't know about short term success. But if you want long term financial security, then you can get some through the use of US government bonds. They're rock solid. Though the pay out isn't great. An 1,000 dollar 20 year treasury bond isn't a bad investment at all. Though those kinds of bonds are usually bought by parents for their kids. Typically in the form of 6,000 dollars worth of treasury bonds bought after the child is born. To act as the kids "college savings". Unfortunately, a 5% interest rate hasn't historically kept up with the rapid inflation in the cost of higher inflation. But the 5% does protect your money against normal inflation. So Bonds are still a good way to preserve the value of your money.

One big difference that comes to mind between your generation and mine is the costs of higher education. Whereas my generation was mostly able to access college and post-grad degrees regardless of income (modulo some systemic discrimination), yours is widely expected to get in debt for large amounts of money before they can even get one of those precious degrees. Some would be tempted to describe once prestigious educational institutions as vulgar profiteers, if not scammers, that couldn't resist the temptation to skim off of top of the future earnings of their students, and in so doing have compromised their past ideals of equal access to education. It's obnoxious, because it remains true that a better degree correlates strongly with a better career and income, and I have to wonder how many of the folks unable to afford a degree they once would have been able to to earn through their studies may in turn fall into the scamming ecosystem.

Gotta love it when people buy into some of this stuff. “Residual income”, creating “generational wealth”. The best advice I’ve heard regarding this stuff is “if it was so easy, we’d all be rich.” And these schemes will always be around simply because nobody wants to spend a large portion of their life working. Stats show that most millionaires follow strict rules regarding money, and didn’t become millionaires well into middle age. Two characteristics that common people don’t have regarding money : patience and self control.
@RugnirSvenstarr
@RugnirSvenstarr 10 месяцев назад
That's ridiculous. Most people manage to save for retirement, and back in the day buy a house. You don't become a millionaire through ironclad self control, you do it by education and opportunity. If you never got a university education in the right fields you're never going to get stock options in a business, let alone run one. Then you've got to live in the right place, very few millionaires made in impoverished or rural areas. You've got to have the right people around you that set certain external expectations (again, nobody willed themselves rich) and know people who offer opportunities. This isn't to say it's all doom and gloom (or easy), but you'd be better off buying a nice suit and surrounding yourself with the right people than trying to cut back on calories to eke out a few extra cents savings from your minimum wage salary

Write a law that bans MLMs and I will create an MLM that bypasses this law. In the meantime, small businesses are suffering from the additional administrative burden to prove they are not an MLM (because Lawmakers are paid by NOT small businesses). Meanwhile any good MLM can postpone any lawsuit long enough to get away with it even if it is discovered at all, all whilst keeping their members in the scheme by telling them about unjust persecution. You can ban driving to fast because it is obvious when so does, you cannot ban MLM because MLM are not obvious. Truly only teaching people about the basic economic principle, that: "the sucker is you and if you partake in a scam as anything but the og scammer the scammed is you" is the only way out of this.

The example of the Chinese regulators is particularly disturbing. When they forced ordinary bank depositors to pay for the fraud incurred by the banks by setting deposit rates extremely low for a decade, they forced millions of people to pay for the mistakes made by a few, since the low rates meant their savings were being eroded by inflation. The people with the smallest savings effectively paid the highest price. Someone always pays when the scam is exposed and the bezel disappears. But in a just world the cost should be paid by the scammer. In a somewhat less just world the damage should be at least limited to the victims. In the least just world we all end up paying for other people's fraud.

And they are doing it again with the housing crisis. There is no personal Bankruptcy in China. Their housing system uses a "pay to build" system, where the individual pays a large lump sum to secure a loan from a bank, that the builder than draws from to build the home. However, the Banks have not been doing their due diligence, releasing the funds from the loan without any of the work being done on the home. The construction firms have been operating like ponzi schemes, using new buyers to build homes for old customers after having lost the money from the old customers in land speculation. Many buyers are finding themselves with massive loans, and no house. The Banks (and by extension the Government, as the banks are state run) are going to force the individuals to pay back the loans anyway. Making the most recent customers responsible for absorbing the Bezzle.

Could you explain why executives at firms get to have huge departure packages when a company is going under? One would think that the company would have to (or at least should be forced to by the government) to deny or void these contracts to fulfill existential obligations. What are the legal gaps or facilitations of this?

Probably because of some backroom plays. They knew the company was going under and set money aside for his pension. Fucking everyone under him over. Definitely feels like it. And imo ot should really be illegal or regulated. As we all know a market with no regulations is a market like crypto. A lawless Wasteland of scams amd frauds.

​@@HelloHello33333​Fair enough, burning bank notes does not make someone a scammer. But flashing wealth to build an image of a successful entrepreneur is a cheap marketing gimmick. Especially if he pitches implausible grand dreams and charges thousands for a seminar. Edit: my initial reply was dismissive and arrogant, sorry about that. My point is that someone following the guru template of large promises isn't trustworthy. Let's consider this in terms of numbers.. if we google gc, the top result is related to his brand, which is 10x. It even markets 10x'ing your income. If we take a 10% compounding annualized growth rate (very good in my opinion), it would take 24-25 years to 10x an amount. You can check this by taking 1.1 and multiplying it by itself for 24 or run 1.1^24, it gives a number around 10. So what he's pitching is just unrealistic, my 2c.

Hearing that Coffeezilla thought he'd run out of work eventually after he exposed all the scammers is both sad yet surprisingly a great view of his character. He had a belief that there would be a finite amount of scammers he would find and was going to eventually be done with that, needing to move on, and it's probably not exactly all good news that he'll have plenty of work for a long while

Griftopia... One of the most egregious changes in enforcement action in 2009-12 compared with S&L or the Dotcom fallout was that the DoJ was so gravely concerned about the sentiment effects of going after more banking and FIRE actors that they held back on prosecutions. So the bezzle was allowed to deflate - had there been 3000 bank examiners like Bill Black roaming the countryside it would have crashed confidence that the problem was "contained". Thus further ire and mistrust, because everyone with half a brain could see the absence of bankers doing perp-walks and knew that a loss transfer onto taxpayers and other borrowers still in the market was under way. The net lesson seemed to be that impunity was possible, especially if you're big.

The thing about passive income, if it is that easy to get in and invest, they wouldn't share. Obviously this reason is due to saturation. Any area like that will quickly reach and then exceed capacity, which will ruin it for further investment, or even for current ones. Another possibility is that there is a finite cap of profitability for each investor, but that is only really something that artificially exists, or is due to an unwillingness for additional investment due to volatility. In either case, real profitability would be limited, you really couldn't quit your job.

Like it was essentially just early retirement for people who were lucky enough to get certain opportunities in life, like becoming a businessman. And required serious commitment and non-pickiness. And alot of personal austerity and living in cheap countries.

The Government in Australia ignores quite a bit of white collar crime both in the public and private sector, if you do get caught and convicted it ranges community service orders to no more than a hand full of years in a low security prison of which you’ll probably be out in 2 years with good behaviour. A life time of hard work or a scam that sets you up for life with the worst case scenario being a few years playing ping pong and catching up with Netflix.
