This conversation is tiresome. It comes up every time the LCM is mentioned. Jody Allen is simply respecting her brother’s wishes.
Paul Allen had many projects. Only a handful were ever intended to outlast him. LCM was not one of them. He wanted his fortune liquidated and donated. That’s exactly what his sister is doing.
This is unfortunately true. He had plenty of time to set up a separate foundation and he certainly had the means to donate plenty of money to it. But he chose not to. I wish he had.
