I asked someone who is actually a gang member and he thinks this guy is fake. Wonder what his affiliation was.<p>Problem is these days you could go to up to anyone and say you're from a gang too and now you're an entrepreneur. Everyone would be like "oh my god, you're amazing" because they know no better. Makes a great story, gets published. But then no one would know how or care enough to track down whether or not you were lying or not.<p>Point is, someone should check on his story and actually verify it.
