But Rusty says he wants no part in what Tommy is doing. Giving him money to spend on drugs would be inconsistent with his speech.
Rusty doesn't want to have anything with Tommy's addiction.
But, I doubt Tommy knows about Rusty's drug business. Rusty probably didn't tell him cause he's junkie, he can't trust him. He's using Quinn to sell his stuff - I don't know where he gets that but we know Quinn is dealing with everything, including steroids for jocks and Quinn/Riona conversation showed that Riona wants out of that drug business.
Thing is:
- in 0.1, we learned from Maya DIKs just showed up one day (4 years ago precisely), bought a big mansion and nobody knows where they get money from;
- in 0.2 we learned Tommy is junkie from Josie; later we learned same thing from Heather/Quinn when Heather said how he is stealing from her stash - that confirmed he's just a junkie;
- Rusyt is rich - he paid for the whole club in 0.3 and he gives max. $ to MC if he'll spend all in the club. If he is a rich kid, he would be with Tybalt but he isn't there. Why? Unless his money is not from something legal and he doesn't want others to know that;
- IMPORTANT: now, the whole story is based and progressing because of the CUM-petition. Without that, Mc and Derek wouldn't do anything in this game.
Story-breaking plothole is: HOTs came and helped with CUM-petition because "Tommy made an offer they couldn't refuse". What could piss-poor junkie offer to Quinn? Unless he was sent by Rusty - who has money. Without that offer, there wouldn't be CUM-petition and there wouldn't be rest of the game.
Now, it's possible Rusty have money from something else but we didn't see any other clue so far.
