Kid Who Made $72 Million In Stocks Actually Made Nothing

Mohammed "Mo" Islam, 17, claims he made eight figures in stocks that he invested in basically during lunch  break at school. The student posted photos of he and his friends out to eat $4,000 caviar and talked about waiting to turn 18 when he would finally receive his money and could move into a giant apartment in New York City. 

It's all false.

The story of "Mo" traveled through almost every news site and everyone seemed to be talking about it yesterday. I mean, 17 years old making almost $100 million before his 18th brithday. That just doesn't happen. Now we know it truly doesn't happen - didn't happen. Mo admitted he and a classmate dressed up in suits, found someone who would listen and made up the entire report. The same report the New York Post picked up. He admitted that he said he earned "eight figures" but doesn't know where the actual number of $72 million came from.

Mo's parents had no idea their son had been spreading this rumor. When they found out, his dad wanted to disown him and his mom said she'd never talk to him again. Their morals, according to Mo, are that if anyone lies and doesn't own up to what they did, they can no longer trust that person. This includes their own son.

I checked his social media accounts and they are either set to private or shut down.
