That led me to believe he had bank, because I recall the Micon who agreed on a tourney chop and then there was a technical glitch or something, and he had to be convinced to live up to chop. That dude wasn't paying off a year's salary level wager unless it wasn't that much to him. But then Bitcoin crashed, so who knows at this point?

I think you're right, he may have even taken his payment from seals in bitcoin. If he took bitcoin as payment right from the jump then he would've done well. Also, didn't Drexel say that Micon took out 100k in cash and put it on the table in a cash game in Vegas? So I don't think he was living on 40k a year.
He was living off the 40 a year, the bitcoin money from the 'gold rush' is what he had as his bankroll.
