Don't you know if someone succeeds and does well, it had to be crooked somehow.  Look at the Clinton DOJ going after Bill Gates.

Also, investors think they should never lose money.  If they do, it must be someone else's fault because they never make a bad investment decision.  It is easy to point fingers at someone who is doing well.
