Tinder Swindler和Simon Leviev
Just watched Netflix documentary Tinder Swindler, featuring Simon Leviev, mastermind behind the dating ponzi scam. I am really astonished by this whole story, and particularly by the cunning nature of Leviev's character. Having polished his profile, he masterfully plays his victims to scam thousands and millions of dollars out of them to fuel his extravagant lifestyle, effectively perpetuating the vicious cycle. It definitely takes considerable effort and savvy to put together a scam like this, and Leviev's ability should not be under-appreciated. What's even more striking is that Leviev manages to swiftly bounce back even after he loses everything (or does he really?) - after serving several months in prison, he earns himself an early release, quickly returning to his normal lifestyle of extravagance and luxury. All of the above makes me think that Leviev is a real genius, who could have otherwise been very successful, if he were to apply his talents in better, legal ways. Another reminder of the great importance of integrity, for any capable person striving to build a sustainable success and fortune for the long term. Feel free to share your takes on this quirky movie.

Tinder Swindler在生活中有明确的目标(奢侈品),了解受害者的心理(他们想爬上社会阶梯并嫁给金钱),并且知道如何建立信任,以便他的受害者不怀疑他们是受害者(支付decade废的日期数周,然后索要钱)。
我不会说这是一套独特的特征。即使他不那么“浮华”,伯尼·麦道夫(Bernie Madoff)通过通过验证者(他是纳斯达克董事长)建立信任而做的基本上同样的事情,这使得投资者直到为时已晚,才质疑他的一致回报。或尼古拉汽车公司的特雷弗·米尔顿(Trevor Milton),他与通用汽车和安海斯·布希(Anheuser Busch)等大公司签署了交易,使他的公司似乎能够生产零排放卡车,即使演示视频是用他的车辆拍摄的。
在这方面,我认为Tinder Shindler并不是一个天才,实现他所做的一切并不需要伟大的才智。它需要狡猾,对他人缺乏同情心,并且缺乏羞耻,这会阻碍大多数普通人取得如此“成功”。
If he was operating above board, he would surely be an excellent salesman and could be adept at climbing the ladder in politics or in business. I would say that his talents limit himself to just maximizing his share of what the world produces, instead of contributing to the world. He can manipulate, but he does not really make anything of value himself. Still, those are enough to earn many, many people great accolades so in society, so he could surely have been considered a success.
如果是HF工作曾经吹来,您应该是电影 /剧集审稿人 - 您的分析 /写作风格很好。
Thanks! Appreciate it. Writing is underrated. There is the obvious benefit of communicating ideas to others, but also the non obvious benefit of improving your own thought process. Human brains cannot retrieve a wholly thought out argument instantly. And writing things down allows you to test, rearrange, and improve your conclusions. I always prefer writing a research note, for example, before having a verbal discussion because it allows me to vastly improve my conclusions.
绝对也将YouTube视为爱好/侧面演出。有很多才华横溢的人创作了非常深刻的内容(显然也有很多垃圾)。很想有一些创造性的渠道来制作自己的渠道(如果发生的话,货币化将是一个副品)。
他不是一个天才,他只是缺乏同理心和re悔。如果有足够的动力,并且不在乎其他人的福祉,那么任何智力略高的人都可以解决这个问题。他实际上没什么特别的。
