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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
