Yeah, that’s rich, so to speak.
He “made his fortune” by being born into the Mellon banking family.
If he had 2 million before speculating on Ripple, it probably means he started with 20 million.
Stupid author.

Pork speculation tips from Hillary Clinton?

She was a whiz who turned a couple thousand into $100,000.

But that is small potatoes to Terry McAwful who turned a $100,000 investment into $17,000,000.
