The longer they can keep >the stiffs stiff, they can keep stiffing them. Why not just let the bodies thaw out, and abscond with the maintenance funds to the Cayman Islands? A much more lucrative (if not personally satisfying) proposition. In fact, this actually happened (minus thawing) with $100,000 of maintenance funds belonging to a cryonics organization several years ago. Who was the culprit? An outside *attorney* entrusted to invest the funds. How ironic. And John Sharman calls *cryonicists* money-grubbing? *************************************************************************** Brian Wowk CryoCare Foundation 1-800-TOP-CARE President Your Gateway to the Future http://www.cryocare.org/cryocare/ Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=5919
