That was definitely true in 1999 when the Fund was valued at close to $600 million and it looks like over $200 million of that was GlobalLink stock which was probably already worthless by then. In 2003 there was some cash and stock in the Fund, but it was almost all real estate. My guess is all the hotels that the tmo has been selling lately were in there - have no idea if the market price is close to what was on the books. PS. It seems Hartnett made out OK in his dealings with the mov't. Got huge tax write-offs for donating essentially worthless stock and got out of his big mortgage on the headquarters building by selling it to the tmo for a million dollars when no-one else was interested -- the tmo raising the money from local donations under the ruse it was for King Tony who come here to live, bringing some sort of divine vedic rulership with him -- how is it the donors keep forgetting so easily the grand schemes for which their $$ went?
