This happened to anyone else?

Used to be on dozens of lists, and suddenly I'm not.

I don't think they invented a word for what this post did.

Mutuals are a very underutilized metric on X.

It can be the difference between getting a follow and someone moving on.

New addition to the setup.

Posted for 500 days on X.

Ask me anything.

Haven't celebrated a milestone in awhile.

So thanks for 7.5k followers.

Been loving the conversations I've been having lately with founders and creators.

Looking forward to 8k.

In business, attention is leverage.

A strong personal brand turns ideas into influence.

Influence becomes opportunity.

Without it, even the smartest ideas get lost in the noise.

Sarao exposed a broken financial system.

Wall Street firms had been spoofing for years.

Nav’s only mistake was beating them at their own rigged game.

He showed the world how fragile the market really was.

In 2015, the FBI raided Nav's parents' home.

He faced 22 criminal charges.

Suddenly, the kid from Hounslow became Wall Street’s enemy #1.

They called him a villain

But here's the thing...
August 15, 2025 at 11:41 AM
But Wall Street needed someone to blame.

Firms couldn’t admit their bots caused the crash.

So the FBI hunted for a scapegoat.

Their target?

None other than Navinder Sarao.
August 15, 2025 at 11:41 AM
Sarao continued trading from his bedroom for years.

No flashy cars.

Still rode a cheap scooter.

Nobody knew he had $65 million in offshore accounts.
August 15, 2025 at 11:41 AM
Nav calmly ate dinner in his parents' kitchen.

Meanwhile...Wall Street was burning.

His algorithm kept printing money.

In under an hour, he'd earned $800,000.

Nobody suspected a thing.
August 15, 2025 at 11:41 AM
May 6, 2010: Sarao launched his boldest move.

He flooded the market with fake orders worth hundreds of millions.

Wall Street’s bots went crazy.

They dumped stocks automatically. No human control.

$1 TRILLION disappeared in 36 minutes.
August 15, 2025 at 11:41 AM
He built his own trading bot.

His bot placed giant fake orders, tricking other bots into panic-selling.

Then he’d scoop profits as prices crashed.

In minutes, he made more than his parents' house was worth.

In college, a roommate introduced him to trading.

He quickly got obsessed.

Within weeks, he was trading nonstop

At first, he lost most of his student loans.

He called it "tuition" for his real education.
August 15, 2025 at 11:41 AM
Sarao had one rare skill: Hyperfocus.

He would obsess over tiny details.

In FIFA, he was ranked among the world’s top 200.

The trick? Study his opponents' patterns...

Then do the exact opposite.
August 15, 2025 at 11:41 AM
Navinder Sarao didn't start out rich.

He grew up poor near the Heathrow airport.

Quiet kid, with few friends.

His only passion was gaming.

More specifically, FIFA.
August 15, 2025 at 11:41 AM
This kid crashed the entire U.S. stock market from his bedroom.

He wiped out $1 TRILLION in 36 minutes.

The greedy Wall Street giants? They panicked.

This is how a London gamer outsmarted the world's richest traders:
