I watched the full movie about this called “Tread”. I recall he had a clever way of gifting money to his siblings that kept it from being repossessed by the authorities. He gifted it to his dying father, who died before the rampage and passed it on to Marv’s siblings. After being handed off in an inheritance the authorities couldn’t touch it.

$7 million in damage, that guy stuck it to them. jewbucks, but it's what they care about.

I don't understand why people idolize this guy. From what I've read about him, he was a totally unreasonable, rude asshole that ignored even reasonable property regulations, and was fined for things like dumping sewage.

He didn't even own the property for long, and initially agreed to a generous price for it. After he changed his mind, everyone bent over backwards to try and negotiate with him, even though he was a total dick to everyone.

It looked like he could have taken the payout and easily re-opened his shop anywhere else. Or retired comfortably. But instead he went nuts, destroyed a few buildings, and suicided himself.
