The best I can tell from talking with insiders at a couple of his properties, is that he did a beyond bad job at “succession planning”. The light exception being MoPOP of course but that’s a different beast. So without setting up foundations/entities to fund/run your projects and getting people aligned before you pass, odds are your estate won’t.

So want to blame the family. But really Paul Allen’s fault here.

It’s a shame, was such a great museum.

It's crazy that Bill wouldn't step in and solve this problem. This place is a rounding error on his checking account.

I would guess that there's also family politics at play and I can't imagine anyone wanting to get involved with that.

It sounds like all his family want is cashdollars, so they might put on their Sunday suits and play nicey-nicey if Bill showed an interest?
