How unfortunate for Matt Halprin. As far as I know, it was his employer,
Omidyar Network, that made the big donation, not Halprin himself
personally.
Simply replace my conclusion by « I had my company donate $2 million
because I managed to convince them that this cause is worthy. How much
will you or your company donate? »
Fairly huge difference, when you put it that way. I'm still untwisting the
details trying to figure out who's getting paid what by whom for what,
though.
