Greenpeace survives Salvation Army shakedown

There is apparently an end to the embarrassing dispute brought by the Salvation Army over a $264 million estate left to eight charities by H. Guy Di Stefano.

Susan Gilmore at the Seattle Times reported on rumors of a settlement:

The Salvation Army would not say how the case was settled, but Tom Wetterer, attorney for Greenpeace, said his organization expects to get $27 million.
That would be about $6 million less than the original payout of $33 million each of the charities received when the will was read.

Talk about "Don't tell the donor", this is a story that was amazingly ignored by the media. One has to wonder how many other examples there are like this that are never heard of.

Luckily... we have very good spies at Don't Tell the Donor who have their ears to the ground across the world.
