I would not so quick to judge the circumstances surround their divorce. There are quite serious allegations of physical and financial abuse lasting for years.

He seems to deny the allegations here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/still-amazed-at-39693289

"Seems" to, but does he? He goes on about how "never been convicted or found guilty of doing shit", points out (correctly) that anyone can allege anything on the internet -- but I don't see him actually deny any of the accusations?

Per the gofundme, she got 'approximately 1/5th of the marital estate' plus 2.5 years of alimony. This seems a long way away from 'ruined for life'.
