That's 2014's Mohammed Islam lie, Part Two.

"Schoolboy 'trader' who lied to New York magazine about making $72million issues official video apology but blames reporter for putting him under 'pressure'

"The New York teenager who gained overnight fame after telling a reporter he had made $72million trading stocks on his lunch breaks at school has apologized on video for 'making it all up'.

Mohammed Islam, 17, a Stuyvesant High School senior, told New York magazine's Jessica Pressler that he had earned millions of dollars by trading oil and gold futures, and small to mid-cap equities

But after the magazine ran the interview and his story made international headlines, the student quickly backtracked, hiring a pricey crisis PR firm and battle-tested attorneys to spread the word. "
