          1. Nowhere does the article mention his current wealth (or lack of)

          2. He didn’t “forget” — he misunderstood his contract, and only caught the error much later.

          3. He’s not looking for pity. He writes: “I offer this in the spirit of a cautionary tale. I remain sanguine, and amused.”

          Maybe something about his story bothered you?
