Jack couldn't win in high school. On the internet he was known for being jacked. But that was because you could just get swole and look big in pictures.
In high school you had to actually be big or fast to win. Jack couldn't win back then. Wasn't over six foot....

He had a reasonable excuse he thought for why he skipped the last two orders.
The coins. They were pumping. so he took the money and invested it.
They hadn't tanked. But they didnt' go up either. Now down 20 percent he didnt' want to sell. Wanted to wait it out.
