lol at him saying that he didn't really make all that money but that he is doing very well in a simulation in his stock club at school, and suggesting that he therefore easily *could* have made the IRL money. It's like in the movie Squid and the Whale where the Jesse Eisenberg character gets confronted by the guidance counselor for covering a Pink Floyd song at the talent show and passing it off as his original song, and he's like "well I feel that I could have written a song that good, so the fact that someone else did is irrelevant."
