T. Boone Pickens Farewell Letter
I had no idea who this guy was. Quick excerpt:<p>&gt; Thomas Boone Pickens Jr. was an American business magnate and financier. Pickens chaired the hedge fund BP Capital Management. He was a well-known takeover operator and corporate raider during the 1980s. As of November 2016, Pickens had a net worth of $500 million.<p>So, it seems, a &quot;financial&quot; predator, possibly of the worst kind. Not a lot of sympathy for these kind of people.<p>Edit: to be clear, &quot;late&quot; philanthropists are a nice thing, but as Ricardo Semler [0] once said, &quot;If you need to give away money, you took too much in the first place&quot;.<p>[0]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Ricardo_Semler" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Ricardo_Semler</a>
