An eighty year old with a billion dollar asset and what I'm sure is tens of millions more in other interests panicked? Guy has always been a jagoff when it came to bleeding every nickel he could out of the state. I remember an infamous press conference he gave around 2000ish or so where he quipped 'What about my grandkids?!?!' as if they were somehow in danger of ending up paupers.
