Stan Lee, an icon of media itself, was never a smart guy with his financial interests. He was leveraged into a buyout of Marvel for a relative pittance while being threatened with infringement lawsuits every time he forayed into new publishing ideas (costumes, secret identities...it got very foolish). Frankly I’m amazed they let Stan continue having cameo appearances in every Marvel film.
If the man is guilty of wrongdoing in his contributions by all means go after him. I just point out that he’s very disassociated with reality as most of us know it and probably took some bad advice for granted because - all his public life he’s championed truth, justice and the heroic way (nerdy as that may seem). His cable show, “Who Wants To Be a SuperHero” stresses these values over all else and the guy obviously agonizes over choosing one contestant over another on the basis of their positive values.
I can’t believe Stan Lee’s capable of disassociating those values in regard to his real-life actions. I truly suspect this is another case of villainous agents of the Democrat Party snookering another well-off person out of money while leaving them with the “smoking gun”. Shades of Whitewater.
Wait until you see what Stan and his insider pals did during the Stan Lee Media bankruptcy. He may have very substantial legal problems.
