Shitty reputation aside, the guy has never been a developer has he?
He was a developer on whatever company he had that got folded into PayPal. It would be accurate to say that he never was a good developer.
That said, I did make about an 800% return by investing (a small amount) in Dogecoin immediately after he tweeted that it was his favorite cryptocurrency that one time. Figured his fan club would pump it, and boy did they. I got it at about $0.05 and sold out at $0.40, believe it peaked at $0.58 or so. Wish I'd wagered more than the $250 I did on it.
