It’s actually a cool story. The dude was a technician and was shunned by the phd’s and had to repair equipment which gave him the skills to modify the machines to eventually succeed.. and he later got a phd like he always wanted…. If the story is to be believed…. Either way pretty sure that dudes family is loaded unless there’s a weird thing from his country where they don’t allow hereditary stuff but maybe not…. Dum dum dum…. Does he get rich I can’t remember but he seemed happy I think and proud rightfully so
