Legal and Financial Problems
On two occasions in 2020, Ryan was caught by police in England driving more than 70 MPH in his Mercedes. The charges were subsequently dismissed but he was ordered to pay roughly $2,000 in court costs. During a virtual court hearing in August 2021, Ryan claimed he was too broke to pay the fine. He informed the court that he was "out of work due to COVID" and "I just don't have the money."
