It has potential to hold them more accountable than taking the money and running. A couple millions dollars and the story just goes away, maybe to resurface as an added line in an article if it happens again. This says we're trying to help, and at least keeps the footprint on the issue for another few years.

Not only that, it's a much better gesture sacrificing personal gain for the wellbeing of everyone else. He's moving the issue forward in a positive light instead of flinging crap at it for the sake of making noise. Blake's a good dude in my book.
