Subject: Why Foresight Institute and Not Jonano

1) Nanoaging is only a website, not a non-profit organization like 
Foresight.  Jonano must provide proof in the form of official documents if 
this is not correct.

2) Jonano's website asks people to send money to him, in his own name, at 
his own mailing address.  I would therefore guess that if someone sent him, 
say, $1,000, he would immediately use it to get the broken car he has 
elsewhere spoken of, repaired, and either claim it as an "expense" against 
his non-existent "research organization," or write himself an IOU to pay 
back the sum out of his next several months' receipts of his welfare checks 
(which he has also elsewhere spoken of).  Either way, no legitimate 
research organization is likely ever to see a penny of any donation sent to 
Jonano's home address.

I could be wrong, and Jonano might immediately forward all funds received 
to a worthy research organization (which he himself obviously does not 
have).  But if that were the case, he would simply name those organizations 
on his website, to send the money to directly, instead of to him at his 
home address, now wouldn't he?  It would save himself a lot of extra 
effort.  Not to mention, the taxes he might have to pay on the "income" of 
that money before he forwards it on.  Not to mention, he would have to 
report it as "income" to the welfare department, having possible 
catastrophic consequences to his monthly dole.   Even if he did not report 
it to them, somebody else might.
