How much does John Marston owe the bank?

John Marston owes the bank less than $2,000, which is revealed in the Epilogue of the game, making his debt relatively manageable compared to the large sums of money involved in other parts of the story. This amount is significantly less than the $150,000 that Dutch had hidden away from the Blackwater job, which would be equivalent to $4.4 million in today’s money, highlighting the contrast between John’s financial situation and the wealth that could have been available to him through his association with Dutch Van der Linde.
