Curtis "Wall Street" Carroll sat down for his first in-person interview with VladTV since being released after 27 years in prison. Known for becoming a stock investing expert in prison, Carroll detailed his life journey. He described moving from Washington, DC, to Oakland, where his life consisted of a drug-addicted family, crime, and illiteracy. He talked about his criminal activity, which included robberies and shootouts. However, at 17, one of his robberies resulted in someone getting killed. Although he was not the triggerman, his refusal to cooperate caused him to receive a 54-year prison sentence. Carroll described the prison dynamics and how he was able to survive as a young inmate. Later in the interview, he explained what led him to teach himself how to read and learn about stock investing. After reflecting on the media attention he received due to his financial literacy classes for inmates, Carroll described how he was able to get released from prison. He concluded by talking about how he's adjusted to civilian life after spending most of his life in prison and what he's achieved with stock investing.
