Dr. James Eason, who performed the March 2009 liver transplant, moved into the palatial house Jobs bought for his recovery just a few months after the operation, according to a report.
It isn't the first time questions have been raised over whether Jobs, a California resident, received an unfair advantage in landing the Memphis transplant.
Eason lived in the house in midtown Memphis for two years before buying it outright in May 2011, a few months before Jobs died.
Eason bought the house for $850,000 - the same amount Jobs paid for it, through a nondescript LLC, in March 2009, according to the report. It was unclear if Eason paid rent while he lived in the two-story, 13-bedroom house at 36 Morningside Place. A man who answered the phone there on Monday evening said Eason was unavailable to talk before abruptly hanging up.
Comment: California has always been a trend-setting bell-weather state for the rest of the country. No doubt that will be true of the impoverishing of the American population as well.
