Moon Knight has considerable financial resources to fund his operations; however, he has had some occasional difficulties in the past considering major unexpected expenses considering he is "cash poor": much of his wealth is tied up in physical investments such as fine art and business interests, which are difficult to liquidate for cash quickly. For instance, the Bushman once kidnaps Marlene Alraune and a minion delivers a $10 million ransom demand to be delivered in a week's time lest he kills her. Spector consults his accountant on the matter, who tells him that acquiring that much cash on such short notice is simply impossible. As such, Spector decides he has no choice but to rescue Marlene himself.
