He purchased a giant induction furnace that he claims he can stand it, that cost him well over a million, and then went further to name so huge industrial incinerator that he could drive a forklift into it was so huge, at the time I thought it was just talk, and I have heard in this business a lot of that. But now that I think about it, he did say he threw 200+ lbs of ceramic CPUs into his induction furnace just to see what would happen, and I think now he really did. He has more money than he knows what to do with, and likes hoarding industrial equipment. I think he incinerated lots of things and threw them all together.

    I would think for that kind of $$$ the furnace would be outfitted with after burners and a bag house to meet EPA specs. I really don't think that he purchased that equipment on a whim.

    The guys that have the money aren't going to make you rich.
