I don't like corrupt people who bribe politicians. But the article implies a lot and is not speaking of a corrupt people who bribe politicians. I call it great left wing conspiracy reporting.

As to 150 million. Billy gates extracted billions out of microsoft at the height of it value. I would get suspicious if the guy pulled more than 50% of his stake. But since only the number and not the percent is reported then I see character assassination spin being used. If the guy's stake was worth billions, I would not fault diversification or whatever reason the person used.

It's an open forum 3rdI. If you only want the poster you are posting to to respond, send a pm. Otherwise show a little class.

That is a question I suspect he is going to have to answer in court.
It will probably be small claims court by the time they divvy up the remains.
