      Greed has no limit. It is a shame that Rotary wanted the money and kept saying they didn’t know the full picture. Now you knew the full picture, withdraw the court case and let the widow to do what she wanted with the money!

      horrible. Nobody in their right minds gives 1 charity 40 million.. he was probably affected from old age and now his wife suffers because they won’t accept 13 million instead of the full amount… that’s what I read…
      she offered them 13 million, they said no…

      The stalling tactic is deplorable. Refusing sit downs, 13 million is a lot of money, they knowing she wants to split up with 17 other charities and not letting her do it is not very charitable in itself. It goes against what they are supposed to be doing. Helping others

      Rotary saying, ‘we’re not the bad boys’ while hiding behind legalities doesn’t sit right. If the dude changed his mind, isn’t that what matters most?

      The wife, while good-intentioned, is clueless. Rotary can do nothing about the will. This is between her husband’s estate and the probate courts. Once that is done, then the money is awarded and the Rotary can negotiate. As stated by the Rotary , they need all the information, like what taxes could be owed, what is the dispersal arrangement.

      Frankly, the jerk is the dead husband. If he wanted something different, he should have got it done right away. A will is a will, and it can be very difficult for anyone to change it after the fact. You usually need to be a dependent child or a living spouse who is not going to be taken care of. Neither of these are applicable.

      Rich people are the worst. If the old guy wanted to change how his money was split up then he should have updated his will. Now his family who are probably also pretty wealthy are actively dragging a charity through the mud for no good reason.

      how much are we betting the big sticking point is the family wanting a big hunk of this 40M rather than letting Rotary or any other charity have it?

      Former banker here.

      If you EVER will money to a charity, it must be in EXACT dollars.

      Any percentage will be raked over the fucking coals by an army of assholes that still wear neck ties to work.

      Yes they are. Let the surviving spouse decide who gets what and stop the greed.

      As Rotary says they weren’t aware of the windfall until much later. Then were offered 13 $13M. So why would rotary refuse this offer from his surviving widow? Sounds quite generous. Why reject the offer if Rotary is sincere in their passive role?

      Is this about a charity fighting a window for every penny they can get, or is this a humble charity that would appreciate any offer.

      In terms of who would know her husband better, I’d say its the widow.

      Give it up Rotary or risk your reputation as a fair play charity.

      /u/SwordfishOk504 are you a Rotary Member?

      You’re arguing with everyone in the comments who supports the widow. No one seems to be claiming that what Rotary is doing is illegal, but there’s a valid discussion to be had about the morality and ethics of the situation.

      Are we the baddies?

      🤔

      No, it’s the widow who’s trying to honour her husband’s wishes that’s at fault.

      If his intention was to change his will, she would have moved heaven and earth to make that happen. Regardless of her naming Covid as the challenge, there was only one real challenge; he never wanted to change it.
