16m x 320 = 5,120,000,000 16m x 3877 = 62,032,000,000 so you're telling me he spent over 5 billion on 16m torstol, then sold those 16m torstol at the correct price (being around 3877 currently) and made 134m? you're either an idiot who doesn't know how to do basic arithmetic, or a liar, or both Edit: and before you say "no he bought 16m worth of torstol not 16m torstols" 16m/320 = 50,000 50,000 x 3877 = 193,850,000 193,850,000 - 16,000,000 = 177,850,000 so the math still proves you wrong Or he sold them before they were back 3,877ea? 134m/16m = 8.375 gp increase per torstol The math never proved him wrong at all. But the story is probably just a big lie.
