You continue to ignore the fact for some reason, that Gore WON. If Nader's goal was to make him lose, he failed miserably.
Unless you are denying that Gore won.
Your link is simply another individual imbued with Nader hatred and therefore not a reliable source.
However in all the actual credible analysis of the theft of that election, Nader is barely mentioned.
You are free to hate him, I don't have an opinion of him one way or the other, but he had zero to do with the theft of the 2000 election and anyone who says otherwise, is simply allowing their hatred and emotions to guide their 'opinions' because that is all they are, opinions. The fact contradict them.
I really don't know why you are so outraged at anyone in DC enriching themselves unless you apply the same standards, to say, Diane Feinstein. Or Daschle, or anyone else who arrived in DC and managed to become millionaires while supposedly serving the people.
He is just another individual among so very many, who have gone from being ordinary people to wealthy millionaires and billionaires. The fact is he did not vote to help his portfolio, whether he would or would not have is not known. But we do know that many of them HAVE and as far as insider trading, let's not even talk about that in light of recent revelations.
Your outrage is misplaced unless it includes all the others who have benefited from 'inside' information provided to them because of their elected offices.
Nader had zero to do with the theft of the 2000 election. In your mind he may be as bad as a serial killer, fine, but he did not lose the election for Gore because Gore WON THE ELECTION.
