It also helps to ask who the intended audience is. A lot of high visibility finance figures target early stage investors, students, or people new to markets. That audience can sometimes interpret strong opinions as guarantees, even when they’re not presented that way legally, which later leads to disappointment and frustration.

When I look at regulatory filings, I’m less concerned with whether someone has ever been involved in a dispute and more interested in patterns. Repeated sanctions, repeated client losses tied to the same behavior, or repeated regulator warnings would be meaningful. Isolated disputes without findings don’t tell me much on their own.

Something else worth mentioning is that finance attracts people who are comfortable being polarizing. In some cases, controversy actually fuels visibility. That doesn’t mean the criticism is false, but it does mean it can be amplified far beyond its original scope.
