I startet watching Arrow again a few weeks ago and actually I'm in the middle of season 3 and I'm wondering why it's often said that Oliver is broke? If I remember right he owns about 45% of Queen Consolidated, 50% is (or better "was") owned by Isabel Rochev and 5% by the Starling National Bank or what the name of the bank was. In one of the last episodes of season 2 he made the mistake of giving full control over his firm to Isabel and she fucked up the share price of Queen Consolidated, thats the reason why his lawyer told him and his mother that they have to save their money because else they will be broke. Later then Queen Consolidated is bought by Ray Palmer (or better, he bought 50-55% of it, because Oliver still owned 45%). So, Oliver still has no control over "his" firm, but at least he owns nearly half it. Thanks to Ray knowing how to lead a company Queen Consolidated share prices rise again and the company makes money again, so, Oliver is rich as fuck again, no control over "his" firm, but hey, at least owning nearly half of it. Later then Ray changes the Name to "Palmer Technologies", so you cannot really talk about "Olivers Firm" anymore, but still he owns nearly half of it. So, why the hell are they talking about him being broke? How can you be broke if you own nearly half of a billion dollar company?

Sorry for misspelling etc, english is not my native language (I'm german)
