I must admit I would not do the same thing. The risk/reward ratio was not right for me; more importantly, I would never risk all my capital in one go. But then different people see things differently.

I think he would make a great trader in a BULL market......takes no brains at all........
Risk to a real trader is a 4 letter word.

Well, his asset was only @ $140,000.

With some media coverage... even if he lost it all, he could get them back with interviews, books, and selling the self-made documentary.
