I’m thinking cars, dope, and hookers. Lots of hookers.

And he'll just squander the rest of the money.

I’d invest it all in houses and lots. Whore houses and lots of whiskey.

I'd say he'll do just fine.

Yea the Attorney will make out like a bandit, but what about the kid?

Sounds like it will be gone before he’s 25

I wouldn't last 5 years with it either. I'd pay off debts, put some aside for my kids, then give the rest away to charity.

At that age, I would go for the annuity.

LLC is the designation for a type of corporation.

Limited Liability Corporation

He can best help humanity by registering to vote and vote for conservatives and, if he donates to non-profits, ensure that the recipients are conservative organizations. If I were he, I would try my best to hook up with some Spook who can get him a new identity with all the back stories and pocket litter and anonymous accounts. Probably won’t get it here but maybe from an Israeli organization.

That I know. What I don't understand is what would make one "private."

Might mean privately-owned (by one or just a few members) as opposed to publicly-traded (like, say, Ford Motor Company).

I don’t know except that maybe the stock isn’t available
for public trading per se.

Jeez, doesn’t the $170 million in taxes already do enough “good for humanity”?

The trust is a good idea but he needs to buy a nice, SECURE home.

I mean, he’s got to live somewhere for the next five years, no?

I’d give Free Republic at least a million, and announce it as publically as possible just to watch leftist heads explode.

They say you are more likely to be the only winner if you play numbers over 30 as most people play birthdays anniversaries etc with most numbers lower than 30. Frankly I think the 170 million in taxes would cover the taking care of humanity part. :-)
