not reading news lately, but picked up on the madoff story:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_Madoff
heh we got the same bday.
madoff is somewhat similar to kiyosaki. everyone thought he was a brilliant investor, turned out to be a brillian liar.
the difference is.. kiyosaki did not break the law the way madoff did.
kiyosaki also didn't 'steal', he only pretended to be rich when he wrote his famous book (of course he is really rich now).
so how do these people trick everyone?
well.. because the majority of us tend to believe that all those high-flying investment bankers & investors really know what they are doing.
and because we all want to be rich and richer.
there is a good article on sat paper that mentioned madoff.
of course not that people will learn from this.
proof: no matter how many time the pyramid scheme comes out, people will still rush for the scheme, and got cheated in the end.
