"The whole story was made up. The New York Observer caught up with him, and he told the paper he was never worth eight figures and that he had only ever made simulated trades in his high school investment club, which he pretended were real."
Is there ANY figure? Have you invested and made returns at all?
No.
So it's total fiction?
Yes

I look for interesting features like this for radio fodder, but when I saw this one in the Daily Mail, I immediately suspected it was a hoax and rejected it. How could a New York magazine writer have actually been that close to it and run with it when just one glance at it set off my BS alarm?
