love If Books Could Kill. highly recommend.
i can recognize that sometimes getting away with massive amounts of fraud and theft is sometimes as easy as just being the right kind of charming and personable guy. that someone who talks smooth gets the benefit of the doubt. what i don't understand is how SBF's outstandingly bad interpersonal skills don't seem to immediately disqualify him from getting the starry-eyed treatment he got (and still gets). is it really just the fact that he's rich?
They say at one point that by being flaky, aloof and indifferent while rich SBF may have accidentally discovered the rules of pickup artistry for VCs, which is not a bad take.
i suppose if Elizabeth Holmes can wear Steve Job's turtlenecks and carry a biomedical scam to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars by doing so, maybe "financial pickup artistry" will see more success attracting VC funds than "pickup artistry" has attracting the ladies
