I think that's exaggerated. From what I understand it was more like one $70k and one $40k, after something like 6-8 months of study.

That said, anyone with anecdotes like this is invited to share them. They sound cool, and give one hope for this world.

The 40k one wasn't the one I had in mind, but I'll accept your correction re the 70k one.
