He surely didn't achieve the status being an oblivious dummy and stock manipulations only...what argument am i making?That he's allowed to get away with stock manipulation and other forms of cheating isn't proof he's smart when he makes money.
It's proof he's allowed to cheat to make more money. Which means he can make more money and be dumb that someone with less impunity who is smarter.
This is a weird argument you're making here.
