More about Arthur Chu:

 "THE NEXT TIME YOU WIN 37,500 DOLLARS ON JEOPARDY!, WE'LL SEE HOW HUMBLE YOU ARE." -ARTHUR CHU

Arthur Chu was once a quiet insurance analyst who got a shot on JEOPARDY! – and blew it up. Twelve shows later, Chu had racked up nearly $300,000 in winnings and created an international hatestorm. Chu threw the usual JEOPARDY! geeky politeness out the window. Instead he preened, he postured, and he found daily doubles...all of them. His strategies—bouncing around the board, pragmatic wagers, and keeping a hyper-aggressive pace to the game—have led some to declare his $300,000 winning streak akin to a MONEYBALL moment on JEOPARDY!. He crushed his opponents and he tangled with host Alex Trebek. While his detractors called him a "thug," or simply the "the Jeopardy! villain," Chu ate it up. Living his version of the American Dream, Jeopardy! gave him his 15 minutes of fame. He has something to tell you, and you should listen. The uproar has already caught the attention of the Wall Street Journal, The New Yorker, USA Today…and bloggers around the world.

THANKS ARTHUR!
