I think he's one of those types that's smart but not like limitless smart yet they don't realize it.

Dude played League of Legends during business meetings. (While staying hard stuck in bronze) He was not the brightest tool in the shed. His intelligence was projection. People think cryptonerds are wizards for some reason.

Eh, the guy's a fraud and asshole, but he'd probably pretty smart. You don't build a company as large as he did, even with fraud without being pretty smart. And he probably would have gotten away with it for a lot longer if he wasn't so damn greedy.

Yeah I'm basically saying he's not any more or less intelligent than your typical tech bro.

He's smart enough to know what he did was fraud/illegal, not nearly smart enough to get away with it. I think his ego was probably inflated to hell from all of the attention and press so he probably believed the wonderkid persona.
