The name is the same, and the bank from which he was leaving in the episode was in Nevada (i.e. Navada National Bank, Main Office, Las Vegas). And the death date is shortly after the episodes were taken. I wonder whether this is the same person and what the cause of his death was.
I cant set aside my suspicion that it had something to do with his (possible) failure to become a millionaire: and if so, then it also (ironically) shows the dangers of the radical free market that Milton purports.

Welcome to Free Republic.
A quick search of his product Oileater turns up the following company oileater.com.
There wasn’t any mention of the company founders or anything however.
Maybe it worked out for him.
So, it turns out it wasn't the illustrative example of the “dangers of the radical free market” that you were hoping it to be.
