Paid in cash, or in stock that turned out to be worthless?
I bet he was paid in stock that ended up being worthless because he said he took a loss when the firm went bankrupt.
I bet Brady thought he was gonna get a good deal like William Shatner dead with Priceline. Shatner was originally played in stock when he was doing all those Priceline commercials 25 years ago, and the stock exploded, and he made a hell of a lot of money.
