No one loves money, and no one goes to seek it. But there is an ancient saying: A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way. People in the world live in this world of ups and downs, what they pursue is different, and the way they pursue is also different. However, when seeking the necessary money, it must conform to the rules of the world and society, be allowed by society, and be carried out through legitimate channels.
"Don't forget to be poor, don't forget the way" is a truth taught to us by our predecessors in ancient times, which means that even if you are poor, you can't forget the ethics of your own personality, and no matter how rich you are, you can't forget morality. Although ill-gotten gains are taken quickly, they cannot escape the punishment of the law after all, and those who make these wrong actions will eventually have to pay the corresponding price.
There is such a mathematical genius, who invented the lottery algorithm and won the lottery jackpot 14 times in his lifetime, but Australia and the United States had to change the laws for him to restrict his actions.
Running around for a livelihood and researching algorithms
Gorky said: Only labor is glorious, and labor re-education nourishes the body, and study educates the soul. China's thousand-year-old traditional virtue is that labor is the most glorious. Some people say that if a talented person is lazy, even if he achieves something, he will not be able to compare with a hard-working person.
"Genius is the ability to work hard without end. "And there is such a hard-working genius in the United States, and he is Stephen Mandel, one of the greatest stock pickers of all time. He did make some "achievements" because of his intelligence and hard work, but shockingly, his "achievements" led Australia and the United States to change the law for him.
As the managing director of the famous hedge fund Tiger Fund, Stephen Mandel's life is rich and magnificent.
Stephen Mandel has shown an unusual interest and talent in the field of mathematics since he was a child, and compared to other classmates who studied together, Stephen Mandel's extraordinary learning ability made his teachers pay close attention to him, and in the eyes of the teachers, Stephen Mandel's talent may be buried if he learns with his peers step by step.
With the support of his teacher, Stephen Mandel began his in-depth study in the field of mathematics, and as he grew older, Stephen Mandel mastered more and more knowledge, and his life also progressed to a very important stage, that is, marriage.
Stephen Mandel and his wife have a good relationship, and after giving birth to two children after marriage, Stephen Mandel, who got married, instantly felt the pressure increased dramatically. At the end of the 60s of the last century, there was a shortage of food and employment difficulties, Stephen Mandel received a meager salary every month but could not support the family, the two children in the family were waiting to be fed, and his wife needed to take care of the children at home, and the whole family could only rely on Stephen Mandel to support.
It's a pity that Stephen Mandel is a math genius but not a money-making genius, and Stephen Mandel, who is struggling on the poverty line, can only get a salary of $88 a month.
As a father of a husband and two children, Stephen Mandel is desperate to change the situation in his family, and it is well known that buying a lottery ticket can make the poorest people rich in an instant, and the lottery buys luck.
But for Stephen Mandel, who has a lot of research in the field of mathematics, winning the lottery doesn't seem that difficult either. Stephen Mandel used his knowledge of mathematics to work on one of his own algorithms after observing lotteries for a long time.
After painstaking research, he invented a set of "number selection algorithms", which allows him to accurately predict 5 out of 6 winning numbers, so that even if there are millions of permutations and combinations, it will be more accurate than blindly buying lottery tickets.
Started to shoot and hit the jackpot 14 times
Stephen Mandel designed and invented this algorithm to get the lottery jackpot, but no one was sure that the algorithm would be successful, so Stephen Mandel was very low-key when he first made his first move, he conducted an experiment with the small lottery beforehand, and this initial sale of Stephen Mandel was a success, and he won the grand prize of $20,000.
The $20,000 grand prize not only solved his financial poverty, but also affirmed his invention and design of the "number selection algorithm". Stephen Mandel was inspired, but he knew that the algorithm would not be known to others, so he was careful in his purchase of lottery tickets.
In this way, Stephen Mandel has been buying these lottery tickets, although there is a certain cost to buy these lottery tickets, but these costs are not worth mentioning compared to the final winnings, so Stephen Mandel quickly accumulated a certain amount of capital, and then moved his family to Australia.
Stephen Mandel, who arrived in Australia, found that the Australian lottery industry was more prosperous, for example, he needed to spend $4 million as the principal to buy lottery tickets, but if he won the jackpot, he would have a prize of $10 million.
So Stephen Mandel still did his old job, but he really didn't have that much principal to buy lottery tickets, so Stephen Mandel thought of another way.
He used his ostensible status as an insurance agent to do some clandestine work, and he persuaded some clients to invest in him, creating a "lottery syndicate". Stephen Mandel used investors' funds to buy lottery tickets in large quantities to make money for himself.
It was with this step-by-step foreshadowing that Stephen Mandel's lottery syndicate won 12 first prizes in Australia, and also took home a small prize of $400,000. And Stephen Mandel's frequent winnings have caught the attention of lottery officials, and no one can believe that anyone can really be lucky enough to win the jackpot every time.
As the internal controller of the lottery, they all have a deep understanding of the lottery, and when they realize that Stephen Mandel can win the lottery every time, they know that this person must have discovered some patterns in the lottery.
The Australian lottery department regarded Stephen Mandel as a "mortal enemy", but in any case, Stephen Mandel did not break the law, so Australia had to change the law several times to stop Mandel's behavior.
Stephen Mandel, who was completely "blocked" in Australia, had to withdraw from the Australian lottery market, and moved to the United States, to the United States, also using his special algorithm, Stephen Mandel took a prize of more than $30 million at one time in a lottery event.
Stephen Mandel's crazy money collection behavior has aroused the vigilance of the United States, and the CIA and FBI have conducted some investigations against him, but no matter how they investigate, the result is that Stephen Mandel did not break the law, and everything he did was within the scope of the law.
The United States was helpless for a while, and it was at this time that Stephen Mandel won the lottery again, winning a total of 14 jackpots, which combined with tens of millions of dollars.
The two countries have revised their laws and washed their hands of gold
It is precisely because of Stephen Mandel's crazy behavior that in desperation, the United States can only amend the relevant lottery laws like Australia and prohibit Stephen Mandel from buying lottery tickets.
Stephen Mandel also washed his hands after being banned from buying lottery tickets, after all, for him, he had already made a lot of money before, which was enough for him to change the living conditions of his children and live the life he wanted.
Brief summary:
As the old saying goes, "Ill-gotten wealth will eventually go away unjustly." Although Stephen Mandel did not break the law, his design and invention of the lottery number selection algorithm was already unfair to most people.
At the beginning of human society, there was no law, but there were many conventions, and after a long time, they naturally became laws. The law is always improving, and the law cannot make everyone equal, but everyone is equal before the law. Not breaking the law is a major principle of life.
