Got an acquaintance who is trading cryptocurrency and charges people to access his "teachings".

When he first started, he would charge $300 USD (despite being in Australia) and send the applicant a physical USB drive with a powerpoint on it. I figured he was using the USB drive to install mining programmes but thankfully he's since stopped that and hosts webinars instead.

6 months prior? He was in Herbalife.

If it wasn't eating away some of my friends lives I'd say it's been fascinating watching the whole thing unfold.
