I don't get people who spend that much money with hopes of a lot more money by following someone else.

How could you trust a person when you do not know them at all? What if they are lying? What if they are not doing anything that would help you at all but just making them richer?

By all accounts this person could be running a scheme where he gives free advice time to time and mostly he becomes wrong and sometimes when he is right he invites you to a "special VIP" place where you have to pay a ton of money but since he made you profit you actually end up paying and he rarely ever finds a good trade again and you realize you were scammed.

I can make predictions a thousand times a day, create accounts for each of them and get them to share each other as well or like each others tweets to make it more visible too. Using all of this I can convince some gullible and naive people to pay me to get more advice on trading and scam them, quite easy thing to achieve.
