The problem with this, and it's something I've brought up a bunch of times before both here and in Discords and shit, is this little thing called Ordinary and Necessary Expenses. It's legal terminology, so ignore the "necessary" part because it wasn't necessary for him to move across the country for his business. But O&NE includes interest accrued by debt acquired to support a business. With him putting literally everything on credit, and what we've seen from his final statements from some of his lenders, it is not impossible for him to have been paying off "business-related" credit card debt that amounted to a significant portion of that $5k/mo expense. He put his movers on credit, probably part of the down payment, he probably had that CT khando on credit, who fucking knows what else. And I know, the whole "But he put down that his debt was consumer debt, not business debt!" schtick, but there's basically no separation between the business and person when you're sole proprietor, and they clearly didn't give a fuck about his other fuck ups on his filing, so I doubt they care about that tick box either.
Point is that to entirely exonerate himself, he would have to show those statements.
That doesn't explain why his O&N expenses varied from around $3500 to $9000. He didn't move, make any (and I mean ANY) equipment purchases, or make any other large purchases in July or the preceding months. If you want to include his PS4 Pro and 4KTV from March or April that he claimed were "gifts", they were all of $800, so that's not it either. His interest payments aren't going to drop by $6,000 from one month to the next. And honestly, even if they did, he could detail his interest payment in the expenses breakdown too.
He doesn't have to show any records at all. Just give a detailed list. Shit, do it for July and August 2019. That's all it would take.
