priced a great deal based on the "cult of personality" of Edolph and prior to his entry into politics and Twitter the most obnoxious parts of that personality were overshadowed by the "manufactured" idea of him as "boy genius".

He benefited from an SEC and FTC that never held him to account for what amounted to false promises and taking "deposits" based on those false promises.
