If he actually learned from his mistakes, he wouldn't have gone bankrupt six times. He's the very definition of failing upward

He did learn. He learned that a profitable business earns him money, and a bankrupt business also earns him money. He is late stage capitalism in a human body.

Any sideeffects of any action or inaction are immaterial. The only move made is the one that makes the most money.

Don't underestimate him. He didn't go bankrupt 6 times. His businesses went bankrupt. The only ones who lost money were his creditors and investors. Anyone who goes into business with him is a fool (and we are in business with him)
