Why would anyone take anything at face value posted on reddit?

So this one random lawyer on reddit has hundreds of clients with a net worth of $300M+?

Or, they're LARPing.

I wonder which is more likely.

Those are not the only options. That's a pretty bad strawman.


What are the other options?


You want me to enumerate the potential experiences a tax lawyer may have, outside of having hundreds of clients with a net worth of 300M dollars, over a 20+ year career, that would allow them to do the math outlined in the post?

I don't think that's necessary.


They literally said they do it for a living for hundreds of clients, and that it doesn't make sense to do it for a net worth of less than $300M.

So, they are either a lawyer who has done it for hundreds of clients worth $300M+, or they are lying.


I don't see where they claimed what you're saying.

I see they claimed to "do it for a living". I see where they say it only makes sense for clients with 300M+ net worth.

There are plenty of other ways to interpret those two points. For instance, it may be a thing they do at their job, but not the only thing they do.


There's plenty of valuable information on reddit. In fact, there's a strong search trend to put 'reddit' on search queries to get better results.

Could this guy be LARPing? Sure.

I looked up a few of the references, they look accurate. They would need to be an excellent LARPer to get that detailed. Or they actually know what they are talking about.
