Why is Dan Bilzerian willing to bet his entire fortune?
On Tuesday, Dan Bilzerian appeared on the Piers Morgan Uncensored show and made startling statements. The discussion began when Morgan, during the interview, asked Bilzerian if Jews were justified in feeling like victims due to the Holocaust.
In response, Bilzerian suggested that he believes the Jewish community is currently the biggest threat to the world.
"I believe Jewish supremacy is the greatest threat to the world today... most of the problems today are caused by Jewish supremacy," Bilzerian said.
Furthermore, when Morgan mentioned that six million Jews were killed during the holocaust, the American businessman suggested that the figure is under six million and he could bet his entire net worth on this.
"Yeah I mean that figure has been revised... Well they said that it was four million that died in Owitz and then they said it was down to a million, they have revised the figure," Bilzerian said.
Then Bilzerian continued when Morgan asked how many Jews were killed in the Holocaust, to which he suggested that he was unaware of the exact number but knew that it was under six million. He then further added:
"Um, I don't know but I would bet my entire net worth that it was under six million."
The interview continued, with Morgan asking Bilzerian what motivates him to make such claims. In response, Bilzerian explained that he is a gambler and stated that he would be inclined to bet if he identified something with a low probability.
According to the Holocaust Encyclopedia, during the Holocaust, six million Jewish people died. Furthermore, they were killed by a systematic regime of Nazi Germans by placing them in gas chambers; conducting mass shooting operations; and through deliberate privation, disease, and brutal treatment.
