And it's amazing how many people are so careless with huge money while we have hard working people who do everything right in their life and smart financial decisions never gamble but still struggling financially.
I don't know what amazes you about these stories, but I pity them.

To answer it simple and clear, money is a rigged game that can't be earned only with hard work but need to understand how it works and we need to start working towards it. There are two different ways: people will do anything to make money and there are other who do what they like and money is a byproduct for them.
I want to use OF as an example, girls just being stupid and nude make millions in a month while a woman who works 60 or even more hours a week and doing an extremely hard job or doing her own business fails to see a thousand dollars.
And the guy you are talking about probably a con artists who pretend to help the desperate people and showing fancy crypto terms and use their money on shitcoins which doesn't make him a sane person either, if he actually wanted to help he would suggested BTC and long term not quick rich schemes.
