To me it looks like a guy made a mistake and could not work in his chosen profession for three years. During this time he had financial problems (understandable when you lose work) and his personal life went into a little bit of a tailspin. At some point he turned things around and now is leading the campaign of the hottest candidate out there. Meanwhile, disgruntled ex-employees and former opponents occasionally lob unsubstantiated accusations his way. Is that about right?
I’d say you’ve gotten it nicely summarized.
