Adolf Hitler. Before being a victim of his own success, Adolf Hitler was an Austrian-born German politician and the leader of the Nazi Party.
Saddam Hussein. Before being a victim of his own success, Saddam Hussein was the fifth President of Iraq.
Osama bin Laden. Before being a victim of his own success, Osama bin Laden was the founder of al-Qaeda, the militant Islamist organization that claimed responsibility for the September 11 attacks on the United States, along with numerous other mass-casualty attacks against civilian and military targets.
Mark Karpeles. Before being a victim of his own success, Mark Karpeles was an ugly fat kid with no prospects.
Bernard Madoff. Before being a victim of his own success, Bernard Madoff was an American stockbroker, investment advisor and financier.
The list goes on. There's no shortage of victims of their own "success", for some values of "success" such as "being incredibly conceited, deceitful, stupid and offensive".
Later update, for which I am well paid:
Bruce Wagner. Before being a victim of his own success, Bruce Wagner was part time television show host in his own head, part time self-styled Bitcoin Jezuz and part time prostitute. And part time convicted felon. And part time.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.
