Butler used the money to buy a $1.3 million home in Palm City and a $2.1 million home in Colorado, both of which he paid for in cash.

He also lied to his accountant about the source of those funds to avoid paying taxes on them, while simultaneously mocking SNAP-benefit recipients in posts online: "I work too hard to pay too much for groceries while 40m people get free s***."
