Best guess is he personally dragged out a few hundred million.  Most of 
that was in cash.  A few years ago they were using sacks of cash to pay 
overdue utility bills for their desert base near Hemet, CA.  They were 
paying as much as $50k at a time in this little grocery store.

Elron died with his butt shot full of tranquilizer.  He was living in a 
motor home like poor white trash and on the turn from process servers. The 
money was stolen by his successor--who does know how to spend it.

"Why do they need a Hummer? Why does anyone need a Hummer?
Why does DM need a Mazda Maita, Mazda RX8, Acura RL, a $100,000 pimped out 
bullet proof GMC van, a Range Rover, a brand spanking new BMW M-Series, a 
big ol'
motorcycle that cost around $20,000 and took Gold crew 3 months
to custom make for him? Why do you ask such silly questions?"

Most of it is gone now.  Chicken feed of $1.5 to 5 million was spent 
harassing me.
