    Bernie started by selling motorcycle parts at meets. He ended up building a billion dollar industry. He built it. He didn’t have a hundred chimps writing code in the back room. He did it. For that he is owed some respect. Is he eccentric? Sure. Did he do dodgy stuff as you say? Sure. I suppose if you take a review of self made billionaires you’ll find those qualities in many of them. As far as Flavio being a buddy, I’m sure he himself questioned that through the years he ran his club in Monaco after he was banned.
