    I have so many questions I want to ask both the victim and the guy who is going to jail. For example, was he actually good at trading or hacking?

    In the last few years I have become increasingly aware of a trend where we wonder if successful people with blatant signs of being an idiot are in fact geniuses. My recent favorite being the pizza bomber woman from the aptly but honestly completely inappropriately named Netflix documentary “Evil Genius”. (I would recommend maybe two episodes and then just wikipedia’ing the rest)

    I’m curious if this is Protestant work ethic fallacies in American culture or if it is prevalent elsewhere too.
