I mean, is the guy broke now? Surely he had somebody watching his money. I'll hang up and listen.......
My understanding is that he only found out in February he was not "part of the family, and Adopted" like he'd been told for 20 years. And instead, the people he thought loved him and took him in off the streets, did it for what appears to be, the money he could make them.
Both for his athletic ability, and then his own story.
As for "who was watching his money", It was a personal friend of who he thought was his dad.
You'd trust one of your father's friends, right? I don't think that is unreasonable. You'd assume someone that cared enough to adopt you would have your best interest?
Would that trust change if he wasn't your dad but someone that only cared about controlling your money?
And You can adopt an adult in Tennessee, It's easier, cheaper, and faster to adopt an adult than a child.
Not as easy an on conservatorship. But easy.
If it was me and I'd just found out. I'd be pissed too. As an adopted child, he'd be an heir. As a conservator, he's nothing...
And all of that is before accounting for not getting any money for the book, or the movie.
