Wasn’t his sister busy buying or selling a sports team and showed no interests in the
museum? Same for Gates. Busy explaining how ChatGPT is the best thing ever while all the
money spent for “saving the world” seems to have led to nothing.

Maybe, but what grounds would there be for a suit? If you donate to the museum, the
thing becomes their property, to dispose of as they see fit. That is, unless you have a
contract that says otherwise -- and even so, you'd have to hope that a court would
enforce a contract. There is ample precedent of courts disregarding the plain English
text of contracts or trusts to permit museums to do things prohibited by the terms of
agreements with donors. A recent one (name forgotten) in Pennsylvania comes to mind.

Hopefully the LCM will be sold as a going concern rather than just a
firesale of the assets.
AFAIK, it's a 503(c), and I suspect if they started to
"fire sale" assets, lawsuits from folks that made significant donations would be
inbound.
