I don't think it's directly about the money. It's more that Virgil sees himself as "too serious" for Chapo. He's been doing a pivot from comedy to Serious Politics for a while. My hunch is that he expected a Bernie-admin press position, got too high on his own supply and had a mental breakdown when that all fell apart.
I think he expected a Bernie victory to be a springboard into a career in more serious political punditry, the sort of guy CNN could have on as a talking head.
