Maybe you should. According to his own posts @lasseehlers is a "Flat Earth Billionaire" and he once paid someone 16 HBD to generate a post using ChatGPT and publish it to Hive. If I didn't have ethics I would have catfished him long ago to get as much as I could out of him.
A fool and his money are soon parted after all.
