The Vanity Fair Article

Read “Insurance Broker Accused Of Scheme To Join Forbes Billionaires List” on SmartNews: https://l.smartnews.com/p-gDUHW/ilqHkq

“Meet the Hong Kong billionaire targeting a new Formula 1 team,” reads an article from The Independent published in May. “Hong Kong insurance billionaire Calvin Lo staying clear of crypto investing,” says another report on that same billionaire, this time from CNBC. A quick internet search of Lo’s name reveals numerous other articles that also refer to him as a “billionaire,” but those media assertions are false, business magazine Forbes claimed in a bombshell article published this week. Instead, they allege, Lo falsified his wealth in an effort to gain a position on its annual Billionaires List, in which the magazine ranks the wealthiest people in the world.

The one who dictates wealth also dictates criminals. Ain’t no shock. My readers, positions with Forbes has always been known to be purchasable. Paying attention to Forbes list could mean a lot of things. I don’t. But it was the way the article was written that had me suspicious. I couldn’t have written it. But who did? Who could have concocted such amazingly superficial verbiage? The answer was satisfying: Vanity Fair. And no, this is not an intellectual article.
