I read Rich Dad, Poor Dad back in 2000 when Kiyosaki was just about to become a phenomenon. I thought it was great. I was sixteen. I've since learned better. I'm not going to rehash the "Robert Kiyosaki is a fraud" argument. I'm just going to point out something I just discovered today through real estate scammer and loser Casey Serin's info page. This video is six months old, but I can't find a single reference to this anywhere else online, so I think it's worth posting. Listening to Serin blather on while Kiyosaki chuckles snarkily is infuriating, but skip to 20:10 to hear Kiyosaki admit to committing mortgage fraud - a federal crime.
