Other mistake: Peter took the $100,000 bribe White gave him and turned it into $5,000,000 by betting on his team. He did this, so he could buy enough shares of Global Gym stock and take over the company, and in the process kick out White as the CEO. The problem is $5 million wouldn't be near enough to gain control of the company, to be public its value would have to be at least in the tens of millions.
