That’s what makes it such a genius scam. He doesn’t have to cover his tracks. He can just intentionally make bad investments while collecting millions in managing fees until the fund is insolvent and it’s all completely legal.It's not great at all just successful. It's quite stupid and obvious. Openly and flagrantly violating. He didn't respect the investors enough to even try and cover tracks. I always mention that people who were calling him into question during his money raising campaigns were silenced by others in the room. The flaws were openly visible but people were so emotionally invested they shyt on others for being suspicious and critical. There's infinite lessons here. But the simplest take away is to not invest behind emotions. Look at the business plan. Look at the history of the people behind it.
This whole scam is only possible because of an obscure law created by the Obama administration that allowed for these types of crowd funds where there’s no required accreditation. The fact that he found this law and created this whole scheme including the “buy back the block” marketing the simply genius.
