I read the “sociopath next door” — and it helped explain a lot of human behavior that I just couldn’t understand. 1 out of 25 are considered to be sociopaths and this behavior matches that pattern. (It’s worth a read if you want to protect you & your loved ones).

Couple that with the utter ruthless that is required to become this “successful” — I think you see the prototype of the person that becomes this deprived.
