My enquiries led me to the above explanation.

As an aside, it sounds like our druggie wasn't as well off as yours Ian, as the level of squalor inside this place was unimaginable. And the only TVs were the broken ones holding up doors that had been ripped off the hinges

Needless to say we got it for a 'good' price and made it into a little palace Interestingly, $5k in cash in a bag was part of the settlement deal - for the next purchase presumably

I have only had glimpses through his front door while driving past , and that's what I saw - got no idea how clean it is inside , never been inside to see.

He gets lots of visitors , often at strange hours - I hear them coming and going when up late studying (as I often do through the night). The whole neighbourhood knows he supplies , this is likely where he got the money for his goodies.
