At the beginning of December, Forbes magazine ran a long, paywalled article on Cornel West’s personal money problems (four ex-wives, multiple children, hundreds of thousands in unpaid taxes). Other ‘major media’ outlets don’t seem to have picked up the thread, but LGM had what seems like a pretty comprehensive extract:

… Obviously, if he paid his child support and his taxes his romantic life and how he spends his money is his business, but…that “if” is the rub. And it also makes one wonder who besides Harlan Crow is funding his current pro-Trump ratfucking efforts and how much of that money will find its way into his personal kick.
