He raises money for charity, and is still pretty active making videos on Youtube on various topics.
If you want to check out what hes up to, check his Youtube channel:

I'm not sure how much hes making doing other stuff, but he did and was probably quite easily capable of continuing with SNE what at the time was like $100-120K? But he lost his Team Online Pro status, either because Belgium got some regulation that they're not allowed in Stars anymore, or the angling of Stars he did with his 100% rakeback.
He doesn't seem like a guy who is motivated by money (or short term money) anyway. I think he considered poker 'completed' after reaching SNE, doing 1M hand challenge and getting Online Pro status, so he probably just decided to move onto next computer game
