The fallout of this disgusting incident continues, and is going to go on destroying lives all over the place for so long a period as to be inestimatable.
The Picower Foundation, with a billion in philanthropic leverage lost, will close. Among other things, funded MIT, the New York Public Library, diabetes research at Harvard Medical School...
Which lost dollar in Picower's grants for diabetes research might have been the one that ended juvenile diabetics from having to take take insulin daily?
JEHT, a law and justice foundation, closing as well... The Litwin Foundation had donated money to research for cancer and Alzheimer’s disease and charities... Dozens more.
To be honest, I find the situation so sickening that I can't accurately convey my rage and disgust.
