> I don’t really care about him one way or the other, but I read today his estate is only worth $18K and he wrote his kids out of his will. Sounds like a sad, messed up old man.

It’s possible he had divested himself of his assets before he died. He never lacked for work in recent years.

He also accused his stepson of embezzling from him, and last year he and his estranged wife sold their house and I think she retained most of the profits. He also had a well-documented gambling problem.
