@logorok @daniel_bohrer @Gerego @brianstorms @rodhilton Yesno. He did successfully advertise himself, sold promised features he wasn't able to deliver, etc. It is a talent, but also a lack of moral and integrity, to an extent which *should* be prosecuted and punished.
Also, success *always* requires a bit of luck. He definitely had a large portion of that.
I wouldn't deny the marketing talent, though.
