That’s where they encountered what some have described as potholes on steroids – massive sinkholes impacting roads, businesses, and homes thanks to crumbling public infrastructure.

In the 1980s, Jean Pierre Van Rossem ran a stock market investment company called “Moneytron” in Belgium. Van Rossem claimed that he had developed a statistical model to predict the behavior of the stock markets and beat the capitalist system. Investors believed Van Rossem’s claims, and that trust, coupled with his gift for self-promotion, allowed Van Rossem to accumulate US$860 million (about 32 billion Belgian francs). He also traded duplicate stocks. In 1991, he was sentenced to five years in prison for what was in part a Ponzi scheme; according to him, it was “a way to fuck the system”.
