If this is true it would certainly signal "trouble in River City". It's no secret he cashed out a significant if not all of his eth holdings some time ago. That should also have been a red flag to the devoted.
Leaving eth will cause irreparable damage. The devoted view him as some kind of messiah.
To be honest, I have not heard anything about it. It would be very good if you could give us some information about this, because I have not yet seen this. If this is true, then of course this is a serious signal, but I think he just will not be able to get out of it.
