On being an entrepreneur… “When…you solve problems for people and
they like what you have to offer, of course you
automatically make money.”
On his intelligence… “I’m smarter than Bill Gates.”
On his weight… “It makes me an easy target for the FBI. I
stand out in a crowd . I am a crowd!”
Think about it! What do you think of online piracy? Do you use any
file-sharing sites? What do you use them for? Are there
any famous hackers, web pirates or pirate websites
from your country? If you were very rich, what kind of
lifestyle would you lead?
