RE:"Why do you insist on seeing the worst in this situation when you could just as easily see the best? Someone is giving away an astonishing amount of money. He could have blown it on hookers and booze but he gave it away to a very worthwhile cause. I see this as good. Too bad you can't do the same."

Elmer, I didn't make the situation. I don't blame anyone for doing it. What I question is a system that complicates things to the point where you have to do it. You know who really benefits from all this don't you?
OTOH, there is often another side to the story.
Mr. Moores heirs may well get to see people they don't even know milk fees of their fathers money...churn it for fees, even lose it all.
You, of all people should know what I'm talking about, Mr. Nevada.

you're kidding right? Do you have any idea how much drinking and womanizing he has to do just to waste %10 of the money he's giving away ? Above $100M (maybe just $10M actually as regular inheritance), there is nothing one can do with money but to give it away to a worthwhile cause; not that it makes what he's doing any less laudable.
