First, this case is near 30 years old.
Second, California did seize millions from him.

So, he did business in California, collected royalties in California, and lived in California, and after the fact tries to "move" to Nevada (without a home or address) in an effort to not pay taxes on what he made in California, $13 million of taxes.
In the end, it was found he did do business in California even though he claimed Nevada residency at the time, and he lost the case (contrary to the narrative) and he was charged $1.9 million in back taxes (but not penalties).

This looked like a criminal investigation because it was one.
Making his SS# public, that should be actionable, although it was far less of an issue in the early 90's. I bet that's a big part of his $50k offset.
