I'm not familar with him, I don't know what his genre is, but he might end up in the 6 figures from his backlist. not bad, for another revenue stream, much of which, I suspect are O.O.P. and earning nothing.

You misunderstand. I think he will make a CARTLOAD of money. That is why I don't understand why the publisher didn't try harder to cut a deal to keep some of that cartload. I think he will do more than just "fine." More like "Very, very fine."
He writes tough guy books and also tried his hand as working with Jennifer Cruise on romance/chick-lit (talk about two ends of the spectrum.) He also wrote some stuff on Area 51 (those were the books that I believe he was getting the rights back.)
