New HBO/Max Docuseries "Generation Hustle" about grifters

[JupiterHawk]

It's really well done. There are ten episodes and each episode is a unique story so it doesn't drag as some other docuseries tend to do. It won't win any awards but it's a fun watch.

Some of the scams are relatively small like a teenager who takes his friends for about 500k and some are huge like the WeWork CEO - what a POS! Same for the UGA Frat boy Ponzi scheme.

Most men of God ate grifters, you got that right swag. A man with faith in Jesus is a man mankind cannot trust in matters concerning mankind.

Below are a couple of the multi-million dollar grifters on the show.

Pretended to be a Saudi Prince. Probably the most amazing scam I have seen on the show and really a nod to the stupid

This guy setup an office/hub for entrepreneurs in a small town in Bama. Of course the locals supported with investing a lot of money.

The Frat Boy Ponzi scheme made me laugh. For the life of me I can't believe people would give a 20 year old thousands of dollars off one fairly easy, albeit ballsy, market play. After the Dec 2018 fade he shared the exact same spread sheet from the month before and no one noticed? No one noticed the huge market dip and didn't find it odd their account stayed the exact same? I sure as hell noticed mine (greatest economy ever, my ass 45).

A Jackass ripped off a bunch of stupid douchebags and is now in prison. OK.
