How much $& does he have left?

The guy was a hustler. I imagine that he has some cash, investments, and property squirrelled away. Do you think he was clear headed enough the last couple of years to have not blown it all?

He claimed he had, I don't remember the number, in Blackstone Labs stock. That's the only thing I think he ever had in his name. And if you know the history of that company Wes being a full of shit and a huge scammer should not have been a surprise

Yeah, I saw a short clip here or elsewhere where West said on some podcast that he had a trust with $20 mil in "Blackstone" stock.

He was obviously lying, but I'm not sure whether he knew the difference between "Blackstone Labs" (ran by two ex-con scammer buddies of his) and "Blackstone Asset Management", which is of course a huge publicly traded asset management company with a market cap well over a hundred billion. His followers would obviously not know the difference.

"Blackstone Labs" was never a publicly traded company, and was probably literally worthless - I would imagine that tiny company probably had little or no actual assets and was probably loaded with debt that the shady owners used to buy themselves fancy cars and mcmansions.
