** It's entirely possible that in the gap between season three and the movie, Logan pissed away much of it in his self-destructive spiral. That's a period of time that is (understandably) not brought up, but it's clear based even just off of his behavior in season three, where he first gets himself arrested just to go after Mercer, then the beating of Piz, capped off by getting the attention of someone with what are implied to be the Russian mob, Logan spent his early twenties in a very dark place that probably would have led to him having gotten himself killed in not-long order. He could have burned through his cash and sold off the ownership of Aaron's estate in the name of paying off threats - or, potentially, even just outright signed it all over to Trina because he expected he'd be dead soon anyway.

Veronica Mars has always examined socioeonomic structures, institutions and how it harms the disenfranchised. Why are the Armed Forces somehow exempt from that? The movie, books and season 4 treat Logan's service as an unambigously heroic path for him,as if being in the Navy would've been an instant sign of a good moral compass. The US military is involved with some terrible events in real life,and the work hasn't given any reason why it's different in-universe(other than "just take our word for it"). Besides,we don't see Logan having any moral conflict about his career choice. Because of that,I sometimes take the Navy as a hardcore version of Veronica's lawyering job in NY: prestigious,looks clean but has a large chance of working to powerful but dishonest people(the fact that Logan didn't care much about morals or altruism in the main series doesn't really help). Okay,Keith Mars(someone very principled) was sheriff before the show,and has shown to want to go back. Keith is also shown to grapple with the hardships of being a principled guy wanting to do good while living in the moral cesspool that's Neptune. Logan didn't get any scenes like that. I'm not denying the Armed Force's importance,nor saying honourable military people don't exist,but the denial of the military's dark side goes against one of the series' themes.

Can someone ''please'' explain to me ''[[WhatTheHellHero what]]'' [[WhatAnIdiot Logan]] was thinking when he destroyed the evidence that put Lilly Kane's murderer behind bars as opposed to doing everything he can to see him put away?

*** A more likely scenario would be that the rich half of the town would get their half of the town made into an incorporated town with a mayor and public services while the poor half has to deal with being an unincorporated township or having their own much poorer town.
