The thing I always ask about articles like this: If they are really making so much money, why go public?

Clearly, this is the first time this kid has done something like this.  Someone older and wiser would keep their mouth shut.

I'd say either:

1) Prelude to selling an info product, how to do this.

2) Story is BS.

3) Idiot.

I suspect 1&2 together.

You only sell the how to guide when it is running out of steam surely?

I vote #3 in a massive way.

Well, that leans to my #2, which is why I think it's a 1-2 punch.

I think he could be the guy selling the software he refers to a couple of times.  Those threads on BHW have blown up since he went public.  I bet the SE Nuke etc guys are kicking themselves that they couldn't get that type of PR.
