I get the feeling he may not be in it for the rave reviews. By my estimate, as of a few months ago, he was at least $6,000 dollars ahead, just going by his known sales, not counting Second Chance, private transactions, etc. He may not be selling more units, but his inflated prices are drawing in more dollars than many of the TPP scenario producers. Which I know is not the primary reason why they are doing this. By the time he's done, he may be in the position of making more money at it - by "money", I mean profit - than all the ASL TPP combined.
I don't mean to imply that is anything to be proud of, just saying that if his motives are open to speculation, his rewards are also.
