That's really all about the shoddy writing tho as opposed to how it should be. I know we have to take it how they dish the story out to us but in previous seasons they did establish that Dushane wasn't a dummy like that. Legit or not legit, everyone knows not to put your entire fortune into one basket. That one back room lady couldn't have had his entire fortune like that. Maybe she has $8 mill of his dough but not the entire gwap. He couldn't even get the one-point-five for Shelly's business venture. But it is what it is, the show was entertaining but it could've been upper echelon status had they played their set pieces and storylines right.The amount was excessive but he wouldn't have gave a damn about Summerhouse if it wasn't for his mom. I guess in his mind, in order to try to make right with his mom, at least keep the community that she loved so much intact and he'd spare no expense. Also, given that so many people tried to kick game to him in terms of the real estate business, he never kept it in mind because he never thought he'd need it. If he were more proactive about it earlier, he woulda had everything. The P's, Summerhouse, Shelley, Then instead of being forced out by Sully he coulda walked away. At worst the only thing he really could worry about was keeping feds away from Summerhouse. He dipped his toe into the legit side of the game whereas Sully was 100% committed to living illegally.
