Thoughts on Michael Astone?

He started Arcstone securities in Toronto, and he seems to also have a very large social media presence (lots of bots following him). They hired a good team of bankers right off the bat, some from big five and some from non trad backgrounds. Why is he so controversial and do you believe Arcstone can be a good boutique in Toronto?
