>What an absurd argument that a guy worth $200MM would not spend his time and money on a $22MM deal.
The argument is that a 200MM+ guy wouldn't spend his time on such an elaborate and risky 22M deal that's sure to get a lot of attention even if it was fully legit.
Your straw-man version is indeed absurd, though, I'll give you that.
>So you telling me if your Net worth is $1MM, you wont bother with $100k deal?
You seem to have a keen eye for missing the substance, since you've missed the gist of the argument twice.
And, no, even with $1MM net worth, I wouldn't bother with a $100k deal if it was risky, illegal, and sure to get attention, including of the press.
And the tendency to risk everything for such 0,1*X more falls as one's X net worth rises, so it's even less probable than someone at 220M would risk it for $22M, since they have much less need for an additional 10% boost and much more to potentially lose.
As for whether I'm poor or not, that's not something you'd know -- besides it being an ad hominem and rude to boot.
risky and illegal? I don't see them in jail.. or in any sort of legal trouble.
As of getting attention, I'm sure if they got all this attention and no legal recourse, I bet any businessman in town would love to do business with both of them!
