What happened to Ed Seykota?

Everyone seems to have liked his interview in MW, and so I visited his site several years ago. Some of his comments were interesting and amusing. Many were witty non-answers. Not to take away from his impressive accomplishments in the markets, but I think he may have gotten caught up in his own mystique.
 
He is a Libertarian that doesn't understand the profound irony of declaring bankruptcy. He moved to a little house outside of Austin, TX.

I think he lives in Puerto Rico now. What's this bankruptcy thing you're talking about?

The move to TX appears to be accurate, but I've only seen a few individuals in trading forums allege that he went bankrupt, with no corroborating evidence aside from mention of a tax lien filing. (There was a fairly long thread in here that veered off about that, but with no apparent resolution.) You'd think there'd be a huge amount of information out there related to a bankruptcy, if true. Not looking to argue the point, because I have no direct knowledge either way -- but interested because I have long looked up to him as a "market wizard."
