Looks like he made a little over a million on the paintings, but he also has some expenses and unpaid legal fees.

So I dunno, his burn rate is pretty high and needs to decrease.

The classic play on this sort of thing is to give the kid a job. NGO, charity, campaign, whatever. Maybe something at the Biden Presidential Library. Keeps them busy and out of trouble and no one feels obligated to give them cash because they have plenty coming in. It just solves a lot of problems.

He is acting out like this because he's out of options. Someone needs to step in and help by helping him work and stay busy.
