He wasn't that rich to start with.
Wealthy, not ridiculously so.
I did a deep dive into his company's history, their debt load, revenue growth, and more.
Assuming any wealth he derived from his company was invested at 2% above market, he could never have been worth more than $25 million.
That also presumes the enormous debt load (debt:equity nearly 5) was at market favorable interest rates. (When D/E hit 3, it's unlikely the risk didn't substantially increase rates,)
And, revenues of the company have plummeted, but the debt load still exists.
This whole charade has cost more than he could have had? So, who's really paying for it? I ain't Mikey. He simply can't.

Russian money? Maybe the lone surviving Koch brother?* But that doesn't seem likely, since the Kochs only reluctantly jumped on the Trump train as it was leaving the station.

* There are two other Koch brothers, but they aren't part of the Koch business, and it has been reported that at least one of them is not on board with the Kochs' political activities.

It was regarding Shasta County, CA ending their contract with Dominion, and Pillow Guy said that if Dominion sued the county for breach of contract, he'd cover their legal fees.

(Something like that)

When you say the names of certain evil people, it's like a summons for them to appear and make a public nuisance of themselves.

Don't mention those names, and they will *go away* to that dark underbelly of the maggots under the snakes under the rocks where they live. The idea is to get them to go away so long that they *stay away.*

Forever. You want people born 20 years from now to have no idea about the person when they happen to see a 50th anniversary retrospective about the 2020s.
