It occurs to me, legal back-and-forth can take years to finish. Just because the judge ordered McBell to give the money back doesn’t mean she did it right away, especially while distracted by other things (getting out of jail, entering the Academy.) And now that he’s dead, his heirs will probably be fighting over the bulk of his fortune and might not notice the few million in McBell’s possession, especially with estate lawyers and other legal fees that surround death (particularly the death of the wealthy.)
so ive got this friend. lets call her… Terry McDell
