Stu was a real person. He wouldn't like being called a legend or having his finances discussed with strangers on a website.
The Stones did right by him.

You seem to have an awful lot of faith in the Rolling Stones... I can't think of a reason why, really.
Note what Ian Stewart said (in his interview with Bill German) about the early days and about Andrew Loog Oldham. Doesn't give the impression that Stu felt he had been treated fairly.
"BG: Is it true you helped put food in the Stones’ mouths ?
IS: I was the only one with any money. They were living in that apartment. Well, Mick had a university grant – he had a little money – but Keith and Brian had nothing.
Andrew ? No, Andrew had money. But I wouldn’t feed Andrew anyway. I wouldn’t piss on him if he were on fire."

I believe stonesrule is referring to how Ian Stewart's family and estate were seen to by Mick and Keith..

I have no personal insights here, but everything I've read over many years has supported the view that Stu was treated fairly. And I don't see any resentment on his part in that article. I don't really understand where the assumption they DIDN'T do right by him comes from, to be honest.

Was Ian Stewart an "introverted Englishman" ? I thought he was a Scotsman.

The Scottish are at least as introverted and reserved as the English.
