There's a saying where I come from that making more money doesn't get anyone tired. Even if he did have more of that in triple or raised to the power of ten, in gravitas I'm not sure he would've risked that much if he had an idea what Bitcoin would be worth a decade later. I consolidate with the later part in your comment as quoted. Nonetheless, like it's argued in several quarters that action kick started the real Bitcoin transaction as we've it today. While someone like me sees it as a loss for Lazlo, I believe it's a plus for the industry as a whole. So, I like to conclude that it should be seen as a win–win for all since the dude in question didn't fall into depression because of that.
