YES!

He's saying he's doing what's good for the world, but really he's moving his money from his bank to his company which then pays him dividends or increases his portfolio's value.

Yes he's paying himself. The carbon offset thing is his idea primarily operated by his company. You dont think its odd he uses GOBS of electricity and then "offsets it" by paying himself.

Yeah, he should ignore practical business ideas and live in a cave, is that option B?

I'm not sure what this has to do with this thread, but interesting comment anyway. Thanks!

with being owner/chairman of a company that has assets this large...he is far from living in a cave...

and we don't and wont have visibility to what his "charity" has for assets as it is a "project of Rockefeller foundation" whcihwill exempt them from disclosing certain forms and financials...

sorry for the technicalities but they are important as to how to funnel money around...

again, I would have no problem with this if he was not pretending to take moral high ground and actually just paying himself...

wait..

so he pays money into it, and then gets it back as a dividend...



so, let's say his dividend is split among 50,000 shares total.


he pays in 500,000, and let's say ALL of it is applied to a monthly dividend. He gets back $10.


wow, he's rolling in cash from this SCAM.
