Shiny_Flakes: The Teenage Drug Lord

Actually when it comes to time served, some probably will argue not enough time served. Now starting right off with that: depending on your moral understanding and on your willingness to run with the "whataboutisms" Max fka as the Teenage Drug Lord (or Shiny Flakes I reckon) also dishes out: If I didn't do it, someone else would.

Again I am not telling you how to feel about this, because only you know what your morals are and if this is just an excuse or a legit argument. I know where I stand on this. One thing is for sure, he may have served time, but it's not like he seems to have learned his lesson(s). There are new allegations of him dealing or rather distributing again.

The documentary is really in depth though, so no matter what you think ... it will try to give you both sides. And it asks things relentlessly ... even the things Max does not want to reveal. At times therefor it almost feels like a mockumentary ... like this is just made up. Some of the things that happened seem way too far out there ... but then again "stranger than fiction" and all that.

Interesting to say the least and maybe more controversial to some than to others ...

It's crazy to think what this person did but also for so long without being found out. Very interesting documentary.

Very well done documentary with good interpreters/voice actors. I found Max really likeable and not arrogant as the cops seemed to want to characterize him. Yes drugs are illegal and dangerous, dont do drugs. But as one person said, drug companies have been doing the same thing in tall buildings for years. This kid had talent and motivation and saw what others didnt.

I found the police to be somewhat arrogant, save maybe one, because of their almost refusal to acknowledge how smart he was and how bad luck played into his getting caught.

Now if after release he starts up again, welll that's a different discussion.

Or in my own house, by my own kids....? Have a look at this german production, its extremely subjectivly made, but still tells a good story about the minor dealing drugs via data machine. '' i bet my life'' there are even younger and an astronomical number of individuals out there dealing with the same stuff.

If this guy was paid in Bitcoin all the time and he managed to store them somewhere safely.. regarding the crazy increase of Bitcoin worth he must be crazy rich.. for those who don't know what that means google Bitcoin worth increase of that past years ;) One Bitcoin in 2014 when he was active was worth around $700.. today one Bitcoin is worth $40,000 (yes 40k) it's getting even higher.. so imagine. He could be a billionaire.. pretty sure.
