Possibly. That sort of thing is being asserted but so far there are no specifics (that I have seen) about what buildings he owned where etc., whether he really was so successful in the ways claimed, etc. It’s all pretty vague so far. How do we “know” that he was not a drug runner & money launderer (or in other criminal enterprises) who used real estate as a front to handle proceeds from his nasty doings? I don’t think we yet know a whole lot about the guy.
He lived in a LOT of places, reportedly. Given that his father was a rather notorious bank robber and prison escapee, there is plenty of reason to wonder if Stephen took after the old man in any way.
True, true. It'll be awhile before all the hard facts are in on this guy.
I'm only going on what I've seen reported, thus far.
