While I can applaud the purity of his dedication to mathematical research, if I were him, I'd take the money. How often will math make you a million dollars?

Thank you for coming forward. It's so rare these days to run into someone who would accept a million dollars.

So take the money and donate it. There is a lot of good that you can do with that sort of cash. There is no moral high ground in not taking it.

I definitely agree with you. To me, accepting the prize money in no way devalue the scientific achievement.
