The Luckiest Man In America (2024)

He is the greatest, the absolute greatest, I bow down to him🙇‍♂️

i mean, sadly, late in his life he was bilking investors with a ponzi scheme.

other than that, he seems like a swell fella. (and that's not sarcasm. it's sad what desperation can drive people to do. still doesn't excuse conning others out of their money.)

ummm...he was doing that shit well before he showed up on the show in 1984.

just watched this. very interesting story. and tragic. certainly not the first (or the last) guy to lose everything in the pursuit of a quick easy buck.

i can only imagine his anxiety on the last few spins, when he was clearly losing his focus. would have been insane to get that far, and then catch a whammy.
