The kid didn't finish college and was being paid hundreds of thousands from foreigners along with money from gullible patreon subscribers listening to his garbage, being jetted and limousined to events/conferences, and getting main stream media attention for saying outlandish things. He was taking it in and basking in the attention. A younger Nick would have been smart enough to invest much of that easy money. No idea if he blew it all.

I still cannot believe I knew Fuentes when he was a little kid through his mid teens.
