Well, he obviously needed cash. Someone mentionned GAS, it's ok but it take so long to get a real amount of gas.
With 207,000 NEO you will get 64.4 GAS per day based on actual calculation. 1932 GAS every 30 days if he/she needs money just sell them on Bittrex since the neo already there. Withdraw everything from Bittrex with their daily limit will take a long time.
