No, he "hauled in very little cash". Part of the ROLE-PLAYING of this
character was that he was not completely money-oriented like most chars
(that I've seen)... he was more oriented toward various goals, which were
part of the ROLE-PLAYING of that particular character. And no, he didn't
spend his cash in a poor fashion... he spent it very well... he spent it,
investing the TEAM, the payoffs of which would be an easier time of
things, and the occasional ass-saving.
