The Buffett Scam .

The Warren Buffett Myth

The Oracle of Omaha Was Never You

They sell his story like it’s a rags-to-riches Disney flick:

> “Simple guy. Ate McDonald’s. Read books. Bought Coke stock. Became a billionaire. You can too—just buy and hold!”

LIE.

---

1. Buffett Was Born Rich. Period.

His father? Howard Buffett, U.S. Congressman and stockbroker.

Born in 1930, smack in the Great Depression—but somehow had stock market access and elite mentorship before most Americans even had electricity in their barns.

At age 26, he was running an investment partnership, backed by doctors, lawyers, and family friends.

> This is not a bootstrap tale.
This is generational wealth + elite access camouflaged in folksy charm and cherry Coke.

---

2. Buy & Hold? No. It's Buy & Control

Buffett doesn’t just hold stock. He owns the game.

He gets preferred shares, insider deals, board seats, tax loopholes, and private contracts.

He doesn’t “ride the market”—he negotiates with it.

> When you buy 10 shares of KO, you're a customer.
When he buys 10 million, he rewrites the rules.

---

3. Buffett Was Helped Every Step of the Way

He studied under Benjamin Graham, the godfather of value investing.

He had access to tools, research, and balance sheets in an era where nobody else did.

And when his firms were at risk—like in 2008—he made sweetheart deals with Goldman Sachs and GE, backed by Uncle Sam.

> While you were panicking, Buffett was cashing government-guaranteed billions.

---

4. He Got Rich in an Era of Suckers, Secrets, and Silence

The truth?

> Buffett didn’t beat a field of elite investors.
He beat a nation of factory workers, housewives, and pensioners who had no access, no tools, and no clue.

The Average American in 1955:

Got stock prices from the radio or yesterday’s newspaper.

Had no charts, no indicators, no screeners, no online brokers.

No CNBC. No Reddit. No Robinhood. No FinTwit.

They were blindfolded.
He had night vision.

---

Meanwhile, Buffett in 1955:

Sitting in an office.

Reading Moody’s and Value Line like classified intel.

Running screeners by hand.

Digging through 10-Ks before most people even knew what a dividend was.

He was the only guy with radar in a war full of blind artillery.

---

5. Frugal Image? Just Branding.

> “I live in the same house I bought in 1958.”

Cute. But he also owns private jets, has elite handlers, and runs a trillion-dollar empire built on insider access, corporate lobbying, and regulatory privilege.

It’s not frugality. It’s optics.

---

6. He’s a Mascot Now — Not a Maverick

> “Don’t trade. Don’t time the market. Just hold.”

This is the message the system wants you to hear.

Because if you wake up—if you learn to swing, scalp, time, and think—you stop being their liquidity pool.

Buffett is now the face of financial sedation—not rebellion.

---

Final Verdict:

Buffett wasn’t a genius. He was early. He was connected. He was protected.
And now he’s repackaged as a bedtime story for your brokerage account.

> “He didn’t beat the market.
He became the market.
While you’re stuck with index funds, slogans, and a 40-year waiting period.”

---

Next time someone says “Just be like Buffett,” ask:

> “Do I get insider deals, bailout money, and access to distressed assets backed by the Fed? No? Then shut the hell up.”
