Another so-called financial “guru” bites the dust. Former CNBC analyst James Arthur McDonald is headed to prison for securities fraud after misusing client funds on luxury items—including a $174,000 Porsche and a six-figure home rental—before fleeing to Florida. He’s just the latest in a long line of slick-talking TV pundits who crash and burn after bad bets and worse ethics.
Chris breaks down how media personalities like McDonald (and even big names like John Corzine) use their platforms to mask incompetence and mislead investors. And why real financial professionals don’t give one-size-fits-all advice on national television. Financial advice isn’t entertainment—it’s a responsibility.
