Dostoevsky invented the anti-hero here. A man who prefers suffering over being told what to do.

Have you ever sabotaged yourself just to prove you're free?

Mr. Terry Waya is not the founder of Banana Island.🤦🤦

The original concept and land reclamation for what is now Banana Island in Lagos, Nigeria, was founded by the late Chief Adebayo Adeleke, a University of London-trained civil engineer and CEO of City Property Development Ltd. However, the modern luxury estate was ultimately constructed and completed by the Chagoury Group in partnership with the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing.

LAGOON CITY VISION: Chief Adeleke originally conceived the project as "Lagoon City". After the Lagos State Government acquired an earlier urban development he commissioned in Maroko, he won a 10-year court battle that granted him swampy foreshore land off Ikoyi as compensation.

RECLAMATION AND DESIGN: Adeleke hired Dutch engineers (Westminster Dredging Company) to dredge and sand-fill the swamp. He also collaborated with renowned architect Minoru Yamasaki designer of New York's original World Trade Center, with plans to build a commercial hub complete with twin towers and a city airport.

GOVERNMENT ACQUISITION: In the 1980s, after the land reclamation was underway, Nigeria's military government forcefully acquired the land from Adeleke's company without compensation and renamed the layout Banana Island.

In 2020, nine traders from a small village outside London made $660 million in a single afternoon.

One of them was 22 years old. He made over $100 million.

The day was April 20. Oil had never in history traded below zero. That afternoon, it fell to minus $37 a barrel.

The traders weren't from Goldman Sachs or a giant hedge fund. They worked out of a tiny firm in Essex called Vega Capital, whose website just said "under construction." They were led by a former trading pit veteran whose nickname was "Cuddles."

They were friends. They drove Rolls-Royces and Bentleys, went on holiday to Marbella, and supported West Ham together.

In the video below, the Bloomberg reporters who tracked them down explain what happened.

"I think they made as much money in one day as Apple makes from its international sales in one day."

At 2:08 pm, oil went negative. They had bet on it falling, and every contract paid them on both sides of the trade.

"I can't think of another example where you enter a trade and you get paid on both sides."

Thousands of ordinary investors in a Chinese oil fund lost everything that same day.

And in the final half hour before the price was set, nine guys from Essex were the biggest sellers in the entire market, bigger than the world's largest banks, BP and Shell.

They've been sued in the US for market manipulation and investigated by UK regulators. They say they did nothing wrong.

Was it the greatest trade in history, or did nine friends from Essex push the price of oil below zero?

The most powerful interview you'll watch today!

I interviewed a 90-year-old millionaire in Beverly Hills, and I asked him about his life story.

I asked him what living through the Holocaust taught him about life and what he experienced.

I also asked him about his faith and belief in God. Lastly, I asked him for the best advice he’d give the younger generation.
