Transcript excerpt

Last tier, we flew to Puerto Rico to meet a 22 year old dropout making 7 figures per month from trading. We gave him $2,000 to trade live, and it went pretty fucking well. Okay. Don't stay. Don't stay. Don't stay. Don't stay. Don't stay. Don't stay. Don't stay. Don't be nice. You guys rated up to over 10,000 likes. So like we promised, we're bad. But this time, the stakes are much higher. We gave him $10,000 to trade live, and that's not all. He invited us to document the limited launch of his clothing rank, No, and casually bought a brand new supercar in the middle of it. This is part two with Tier trains.
