Are all “entrepreneurs” just big liars?

I just watched one of the Fyre Festival movies and was struck how much Billy, the organizer and entrepreneur, is like Trump.

Every word is exaggeration. Everything will be great and wonderful, better that we’ve ever seen. Lie after lie. Sometimes things work out as planned and sometimes they don’t, but what strings is all along are the lies of something exclusive and extraordinary around the corner.

Looking back through life, I’ve encountered so many of these big talkers, all trying to sell me shit. Before I was too poor to buy. Now I’m too smart.

Maybe.

But walk a mile in his shoes and report back to us.

Who knows. As I always say, ‘Somehow, Someway, the scams, deception of an individual is always somehow brought to light.’ Whether it’s after death the truth always prevails.

It's a business lie, it's not the same as a regular lie.

Nobody involved in Fyre Festival had a clue how to throw an event like that. And because of so much stupidity, along with an organizer who tried to throw everyone else under the bus, lives were ruined. People lost their life savings by trusting that prick. Glad he's in prison.

No.

This guy was a huckster, not an entrepreneur.

Whenever money is involved, people lie to get you to give up your money. Entrepreneurs, Wall Street, etc

All liars
