True, but I hope the lawsuit succeeds, not because I think those investors were other than willfully ignorant, but because it would have a chilling effect on "celebrities" lending their names to dubious investment vehicles in return for money. Knowingly abetting the fleecing of the ignorant is a time-honoured tradition of grifters and grifter-adjacent dirtbags that is insufficiently and infrequently punished.

Endorse cereal, athletic shoes, and energy drinks, not scams seeking to bankrupt the financially illiterate.
