If you've been feeling "unlucky" lately and can't figure out why, first check if there's a "parasitic ghost" around you.

1. They stumble upon a way to make money, like a drowning person grabbing at a straw, without considering long-term sustainability or the future. What could have earned 300k or 3 million, they ruin for just 30k.
2. Money distribution always goes wrong, accounts are perpetually a mess, and they play sly tricks behind the scenes.
3. They only put in 30% effort, spending the remaining 70% scheming about the people around them.

4. After a brief involvement with a project, they think they know it all and are all-powerful, immediately start their own venture, poach users, hire away team members, and betray the entire team.
5. They have no sense of boundaries, using any means necessary to make money. Integrity, which you value deeply, is precisely what they care about the least, with endless false promises. When it all backfires, they still say they just wanted to close the deal, for your good, for the company's good, for everyone's good.
6. If the project has a shade of gray, bringing them along will turn it directly into a black-market operation.
