Kinda hilarious, the journalist asking the question pretty much had the answer he was looking for laid out in his question. lol. Chris Lendt just kind of confirmed it.
That's why I always said KISS was never as well off as they sold themselves to be because Aucoin made almost all the profit on the merchandise while the band blew their money on the road demanding luxuries. There was almost nothing left after their popularity diminished.
All thru the 80's Gene and Paul had this problem. Paul stayed with Gene for a bit. that was later in the early 90s. But then it was the ......Reunion !!!!! that got them out of it.
Remember the Olympic Towers apartment well in 1979.Spent a bit of time there. Was then that had the cover on achetectual digest
Love his book!
Probably one of the best out there, not by one of the original band members.

Bill was a great guy. Gave his life and last dime to make KISS happen. He took he was not legally entitled to.
Sounds like dude just repeated Paul Stanley’s description & opinion of AuCoin verbatim out of his book. Actually that’s exactly what he did
They still had tons more money than me,
From what I've read Aucoin's lifestyle was cocaine, young boys, and spending money.
Bill Aucoin (1943-2010) age 66 and was gay🤫💰
Who cares that he was gay?
And a pedophile
