Well, I don't know about "no clue about anyone's financial situation". He has doxxed a few people successfully (if you can call that a success), so clearly he has some level of access to something. I don't think it's a stretch to say he could probably find out at least a little about someone's finances. That said, I probably wouldn't believe him (EtS) in this situation. PM strikes me as far more of a "straight shooter"
