Depends on how well we get along and their credentials, like it'd be for most anyone.

Trust might be questionable, but they'd likely not feel too guilty about using people as resources. It'd highly depend on what else the person is about.

I value trust very highly, and often demand a certain loyalty or responsibility from people I work with. Sociopaths tend to have a hard time with this, not sure I would ever trust them.

Part of the reason I love working with selfless people, people winning to self sacrifice for others. Never understood it probably never will but it is highly beneficial to be on the receiving end.

Would you go into a venture with someone who was a Sociopath as a partner? Would you work with them IRL?

huh? like i would i let them be a investor? would i make them a partner of a growing services business? would i invest in a sociopath? would i let one go to auctions and buy the goods i'm selling? would they be the construction worker to my house flipping? or maybe, would i let them sit next to me in a booth at a ball game and sell popcorn and gum?

I think you would have to trust an investment with someone with no conscience, the same way.

Absolutely...

There are investors who are known for being risk-takers. The higher the risk, the bigger the profits/losses. Normally some of these guys are too careless to give a damn about the outcomes of their actions, lol.

Good advice. That is definitely smart. For me, when I loan money or give money to a charitable investment , it is a gift I can afford to give. It is more on my terms and what I am feeling. Kind of like a religious tithe.

My finances professors used to endlessly repeat this quote: "don't put all your eggs in one basket". I'd invest just a small part of it to see if it was profitable. 

 

If it was profitable, then it was a good decision. If it wasn't, well, shit happens shrugs

 I'd have to get to know the person very well first. Nevertheless, the idea sounds interesting. I wouldn't discard it at all.
