Has he ever plead poverty?

So he takes a “low” salary and no ownership as to, according to him and the company, not influence his decisions in the pursuit of financial gain — yet that’s a complete omission of the whole truth.
I’ll stop short of calling it a flat-out lie, but a mischaracterization of reality for sure.
In my opinion a mischaracterisation of reality is just a lie with layers of indirection to weasel oneself out of it. It's definitely a lie.
