Do reporters even bother to fact check anymore?
With a name like that, one has to assume Taquiyyah.
See him soon behind the counter of your neighborhood McDonald’s.
Hmm
As fake as Fauxcahontas.
The reality is that you cannot invest in the stock market until you are 18. He would have had to have a front investor and that is illegal.
Goes to show you that the media are dumber than he is...all of them.
They were soooo keen on the idea that this muslim was able to make $72 million, and it never occurred to them to check the law regarding investing.
I’ve learned to take everything that a Moose limb, liberal, democrat, fascist, academic or journalist (they’re all the same of course) says with a grain of salt because they are all liars, cheats, thieves and whores.
JMHO.
Someone named Mohammed Islam lied? That counts as news?

You got played, idiot. You should resign your position.
Anyone who believed this was gullible to the max.
There are no one-way fortunes to be made in the stock market.
Most successful speculators were pathetically inept at trading in the beginning and will tell you that.
Others had a good run going and lost it all and then some while shorting or using leverage.
I was ready to give the kid the benefit of a doubt, although the story was indeed fantastic. Some kids today are doing amazing things.

She needs a new career, like now.
Not all high school girls keep up with the news, I wonder if the clippings he saved will win him any dates.
Actually, they would work pretty well in an adult night club.
Actually, they would work darn well framed and on his apartment wall in a couple of years.
Maybe his real name is Barry Soetoro.
This’ll be treated as a bigger scandal than Grubergate.
It took me 20 years to make just $1m in the stock market and it took about an average of $500 a month of investments during that time to build up to that.
A journalist has to be a total idiot to think that some 17-year old high school kid can make $72m in the stock market.
Most likely this is a play on the Muslim believe that they have 72 virgins waiting for them in Muslim heaven.
He learned the art of Taqqiya real fast.
Facts, smacts. I’ve got a paper to sell here.
The $72 million was too close to 72 virgins,LOL
“I’ll have to pay HOW much in taxes?? Oh, ummm- well, hey I actually made it all up”.
