The issue was broached on After the Bell, Monday's episode of the ID series Hollywood Demons. 

Dan Block, a friend of the late actor -  - displayed evidence of the miniscule monetary totals Diamond received as he dealt with money problems throughout adulthood.

'Here is one for $12.74 and this is from 2002,' Block said of residual checks Diamond received for playing Samuel 'Screech' Powers on the series.

Block, who said he was friends with the actor for the last decade of his life, claimed that Diamond told him 'more about how much he made or how much he didn't make.'

Block said that while Diamond claimed to earn up to '$1,250 per week' for his acting efforts, he 'alleged that his parents were stealing his money or taking his money.'

Diamond past made public claims in a similar vein, telling FOX6 Milwaukee in February of 2015 that the situation surrounding his finances were 'a shame.'

The station reported he said he only had 'a few hundred thousand dollars in the bank' when he turned 18.

'My parents wasted so much of my hard work,' Diamond said. 'A lot of my youth.'

Dustin's father Mark Diamond denied the claims on the Investigation Discovery special, saying he was 'upset' when his late son spoke publicly on the issue, and he didn't have a proper platform to respond.
