SBF and Qinxuan Pan were both super smart and accomplished young people. SBF became the richest man under the age of 30 while Qinxuan Pan won a silver medal at the International Mathematical Olympiad in high school before going to Harvard and MIT for college and grad school. Yet, today both men are sitting in jail during their early 30s facing two to three decades in jail. They and their parents never thought that all that work since childhood would end like this.
SBF wasnโt that smart. He only got rich under age 30 because he cheated all these people. He got rich because he was willing to take the risk. Anyone couldโve done the same but they didnโt want to risk getting caught. Not to mention SBF came from a good family and was given every opportunity yet still managed to blow it.
They were book smart. If you don't have morality and mental health, you have nothing.
Won't somebody think of the nepo babies? Why does no one care about the nepo babies?
Lesson is to always have a scapegoat.
