I'm still shying away from the buggy because of all of the negativeness but I'm still wondering if anyone knows anything about it and what's it running? Chevy, yota, tons, tire size, t-case, anything else. Maybe it would be worth the parts alone and I could throw it all in a new chassis.

If I remember right it has a tracker motor auto Tranny with manual valving. Dana 60's and bald 37 sticky treps. Not sure what the t-case is but It was a stockish one (not and Atlas or anything like that.) The stupid gas tank was like 2 gallons or some dumb amount like that.
I drove it a few years ago. (before SHTF) It worked great and Unless it has been hammered since then it would be a great little toy. At that time it had creepies on it, but those bald treps were stacked in his shop.

My thoughts exactly bart!!! The money you save buying it at that low price, you can dump the extra funds into making it your own unique rig. I would never let the preceding issue of someone being a social dueschbag detour me from getting a good deal on a rig.
Actually, I would try to capitalize on the issue... (although I say that because I have no connection to the story at all)

I'd be scared that a former owner of said vehicle would want his parts back.
That thing went everywhere though. I was on a trail led by him before the crap hit the fan, and it was a pretty cool buggy (assuming it's the same one I'm thinking of).

So did the pawn shop swap them? It looks like it's pretty beat.

If I remember right he used some of his illegal money and replace the engine before he went to see his mom in the hospital in the middle of the desert in CA.

What's the trailer like? Tandem, dovetail, fenders above bed, motorhome axles or standard 5 lug?

It sounds like just about everything will need to be gone through/rebuilt. I wouldn't be surprised if the future owner finds a few more surprises about what it needs.
