46 An 'Insider' claims GRRM finished "The Winds of Winter" in 2016. He didn't publish it because of fan's dislike of later GOT seasons and ending. You guys buying or selling this?

I don't think it was finished, but I do think he had a lot more to do with GoT's "original" elements than was advertised. Since it bombed so hard, he would have had to rethink everything he was planning, but he's a hack so he just gave up instead.
He can live out his days on royalties. It's doubtful he even wants to do anything else.
