i dont doubt he had access to money via cashing out or that he cashed enough btc to pay debts and sit in at aria with absolutely luridly huge stacks.
and its pretty well established that once upon a time, he was a btc millionaire on paper.
but he also was super vocal about NOT cashing out and loved to quote the winklevoss twins as his gurus and saviors, and the they were hyping up that 'to the moon' shit to anyone within earshot.
honestly, to me, it still sounds to me like he probably did cash out quite a pretty penny but long ago chunked it off on bets, debts, wsop, aria, and the chainsaw kessler slots system.
