some woman telling him she's a trading agent who handles people's investments in crypto, apparently "trust me bro" was enough of a guarantee to get him to send her money in the tens of thousands without being given any direct way to check where it was all going.
To be fair apparently they would speak on the phone every day, sometimes for more than an hour at a time, so she must have managed to manipulate him real good.
I was surprised because I don't consider my uncle stupid, but he's the kind of person who thinks he's more clever than he actually is and this is a recipe for disaster

What i dont like about this scene is how everyone in the firm is looking at Leo like they’ve never once thought about puffing up the penny stocks they are shilling over the phone. Like, Leo is the first person to have learned that you can lie.

>Had no idea how investing worked back in the day and thought they'd meet face to face etc before going over the details of the investment(s)
>Film shows it was basically cold calling with someone handing over 10's or 100's of thousands after
Insane what a world boomers lived in, no wonder they get scammed by Indians so easily

funnily enough indians had nothing to do with that particular scam (it was partly exposed by journalists in the following months), also he already dislikes brown people so I doubt that a pajeeta would have managed to charm him like that

was there meant to be some appeal to any of the characters in this movie?
other martyslop you can understand as there's a subversiveness to them in a world full of such other people where everyone deserves their fates
this meanwhile was just some despicable jew jewing on regular joes and I'm supposed to admire such deplorable handrubbing?

I don't get why boomers don't just put their savings into HYSA. It's safe and guaranteed passive income every month. I'm guessing they prefer the gambling high from stocks.

My dad died almost two months ago. He was 75, he gave to charity and everything. For many reasons, he was a massive piece of shit.
I'm glad he died before he squandered to much money. Not getting the house, but I am getting 60% of whatever the house sale will be and I'll be fixing my life with that money.

Wasn't really a fan of this movie. The sex and drug use were absurdly over the top, and I didn't like how they made the FBI guy out to seem like a loser compared to the exciting and intelligent criminal fraudster protagonist. The scene with the agent sitting on the subway looking around at how he has nothing compared to the gangster in particular turned me off. Just more gangsterslop from Scorsese.

Why do so many of you faggots simp for this 4/10 mongoloid who literally has fetal alcohol syndrome just because she’s some quirk chungus consoomer attention whore? I thought most of you faggots tend to admonish this kind of disgustingly transparent, manipulative behavior

the dilemma of economy isn't that people spend money on stupid shit, it's that there are no reasonable means to define stupid. ultimately only the man who spends his own money can best judge what gives him the most utility.
many have tried to impose on this principle, and none have succeeded. someone would say "expensive rims and lifts are retarded" and another would reply "nigga that's how i met my wife"

Well, he shouldn't have been an emotionally abusive narcissist with mood swings who would falsely accuse me of various crimes (I have no criminal record and no history of delinquent behavior) and even gave me Covid in 2023 despite him being paranoid of unvaxxed me giving it to him. Which I didn't.
Speaking of...yes, he was vaxxed and boosted. He died of cardiac arrest despite no history of heart problems.LOL

Eh. I just think it's funny that he struggled with money his whole life and pinched pennies like crazy (he even got really good healthcare as a resident alien, went on 3-5 doctor's appointments a week, one week he went on 10, looks like they didn't do much). And yet he gave hundreds to charity each month.

The admonishment is part of the fetish. Haven’t you figured out the business model for Fresh & Fit and their ilk? Men put themselves through a ritualistic admonishment of the women on the pod, the hosts degrade the women on behalf of the audience, the women get free advertising, and the men turn around and pay for these women’s OF.

Savings accounts was more for the generations beforehand who were averse to equities after 1929. The main investment for boomers was real estate. Once they got out of stagflation and high interest rates by the early 80s, they had their properties paid off and were able to waste their income on anything and everything.

yes, everyone knows. the term of art is 'speculation'.
the question is, how else are you storing wealth? is a mattress full of dollars any safer? there's even an official devaluation rate. gold? it'll still be gold in a hundred years, that's nice. but many fortunes of gold have been lost, stolen or destroyed over the centuries. real estate requires upkeep, but is certainly an evergreen. much easier to, say, buy a share in a business that manages real estate. and we're back to stocks.

i hope you're paying attention to the growing spread between certs and physical. a lot of people got robbed when the london exchange failed to deliver.

Yep I do the exact same
Just don't forget HSA with a HDHP if you're single/have no kids
And roll that 401K into a Roth 401K if you started it before you could make a Roth 401K (happened in the last 5-10 years I forgot when it started)
