The sad fact of life is that people are lazy. They want to be told what to do and how to make money. Tai Lopez, just like the 1000s of others like him, is not a scammer, he's just telling people what they want to hear.
The funny thing is that this is exactly like religion. Wealth and freedom are the new unexplainables that people search for an answer for. He is filling the void for people too lazy to really look.
