  1. #Narcissism ⚠️ In 2020, the year the taxicab video went viral, Michael Platt’s hedge fund had bigger problems than just boasting: "BlueCrest agreed to pay $170 million to former clients to settle a U.S. regulator’s allegations that it effectively placed its own profits ahead of its customers." — as per Bloomberg article.

  2. 🥇 Subjectively purporting yourself to be #1 is bragging. (An objective measure of Platt’s current affluence does not support his claim of being #1.)

  3. It does seem ridiculous how many of the same comments come up again and again, just slightly varied wording.

  5. You’re absolutely correct about Jim Cramer and his days of running a hedge fund.

  6. You seem to be one of the few (in this comment section) that knows what is going on with Michael Platt. Good for you! He did recently pay $170 million fine for placing his own profits ahead of his customers.

  18. subjective < OBJECTIVE An athlete claiming to be the best is not always easy to verify. Often, it can be debated endlessly. On the other hand, the verifiable math of someone’s net worth is really hard to argue with. In other words: a statement like "I’m the best football player" or "I’m the best scientist" or "I’M THE BEST PRESIDENT!" is often a disputable subjective statement — while a statement about one’s wealth is a verifiable objective fact — which makes it very easy to measure and compare 'apples to apples.'

  29. That’s a reasonable assumption (of corse, it is not always necessarily true). For example, Warren Buffett is approximately 6 times richer than Michael Platt — and Buffett has always driven himself. Many investors get really rich because with all their heart — they prefer investing rather than spending their money. They enjoy their work and the money is just way to keep the score of the game. I suspect that type of mindset is formed, in part, due to the unique psychological predispositions of some people’s personalities. For example, individuals with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder traits (#OCPD) — tend to be not just frugal but full blown misers. People like this, they tend to understand that a penny saved is a penny earned!
