To me the reality of it is so damn stupid, If this were back to lying about quake, that's one thing. He's claiming on games with continual progression however. Of which even if you have amazing skill, it's meaningless without time. IE it would be well understood that if someone is in those leaderboards legitimately, they've been living the NEET lifestyle (IE spending almost all waking hours playing the game), not say... on a nation tour following around a presidential candidate, while also forming a new government consulting group, spending considerable time on twitter as a user... and being a micromanaging incompetent CEO at 4+ companies.
