Source of wealth

Lifestyle
Ezego led a flamboyant Lifestyle whilst alive. He had chains of businesses, mansions, a vast collection of expensive automobiles and always travelled with a convoy. All of which became useless after his death, All his cars rusted as no one was willing to drive nor purchase them, his houses were abandoned as no one wanted to live in them or purchase them either as the community firmly believed he made his money through diabolical means.
