He suffered from severe OCD and germophobia and most likely struggled with bouts of paranoia. Conditions that had yet to be discovered therefore impossible to understand. There is no doubt that the man suffered, however even in his state of suffering and while in reclusion, when it came to business, his mind was still very clear and sound and as a result he made many lucrative deals over the phone.
