This hypo sounds far-fetched, I am not sure it could ever happen irl. Isn't more likely that a first time investor could just get lucky and make outsized profits in a very short period in the complex world of the commodities markets, cash out on a high and then never trade in such instruments again? The latter seems more like the common fact pattern to me.
