Two years ago on June 14th, Steve Morgan's astronomically large yet unexplained #guesstimate for "the cost of cybercrime" exceeded the U.S. national debt.
This week the national debt officially topped $32 trillion, and the World Bank revised its global GDP projections…

…so let's revisit the #absurdity of Steve Morgan's ✌️predictions✌️ for "the cost of cybercrime."
We'll incorporate the latest numbers from the U.S. gov't debt website and the World Bank's global GDP projections.
Strap in. This absurdity is HUGE.

As I've said before, it amazes me how often Steve Morgan's absurdities #dupe cyber experts like @dralissajay, @WaleMicaiah, @LHMphaphuli, @KenBeattyJr, @eSentire, @LilyLopate, etc. Their gullibility is part and parcel of cybersecurity's "infotainment sub-industry."

Steve Morgan continues his unashamed touting of absurd guesstimates (see below).
So, let's chart his multi-trillion annual "global cost of cybercrime" as the individual cost to every man, woman, and child on Earth:

Steve Morgan's guesstimates stretch from 2015 to the end of 2025. This chart shows how, in less than two years, everyone on Earth will be on the hook for $8,441 of his "global cost of cybercrime."
And that's just by 2025! It gets WAY worse as you project a few years forward...
And that's just by 2025! It gets WAY worse as you project a few years forward...
"$10.5 trillion" exceeds $1,000 annually for only 8+ billion people on Earth. It's simple math.
When we project the 20th year of Steve Morgan's absurd guesstimates, we see the "global cost of cybercrime" per capita in 2034 will reach $19,507 for every man, woman, and child:

553 days ago, Steve Morgan's astronomically large yet unexplained #guesstimate for "the cost of cybercrime" exceeded the entire U.S. national debt.
Morgan has bragged that his wild-ass guess is already larger "than the global drug trade":

"Staggering" is ✌️right✌️ — it amazes me how often Steve Morgan's absurdities #dupe cyber experts like @dralissajay, @WaleMicaiah, @lhmphaphuli, @KenBeattyJr, @eSentire, @LilyLopate, etc.
So, let's chart him against the GLOBAL GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT

This chart plots Steve Morgan's asinine #guesstimates against WorldBank.org's figures for the 2015-2021 Global Gross Domestic Product with projections up to 2024. For 2025 onward, these charts show a 2.5% increase from an acceptable 2-3% for a healthy global GDP.

An innocent questioner came to me asking "Why do you start [see chart below] at 2021?"
And it stumped me. Because I've studied Steve Morgan's tweets enough to know he's touted "$3 trillion" since at least 2018.
So, why DID I start at 2021? Quite simply…

…I had Morgan's more recent #guesstimates in front of me when I first decided to "chart the math."
Really, though, his multi-trillion $$$ guesstimates date back to 2016. And they're not … exactly … "scientific," if you know what I mean:
