	Why not just let the bodies thaw out, and abscond with the
maintenance funds to the Cayman Islands?  A much more lucrative
(if not personally satisfying) proposition.

	In fact, this actually happened (minus thawing) with
$100,000 of maintenance funds belonging to a cryonics organization
several years ago.  Who was the culprit?  An outside *attorney*
entrusted to invest the funds.  How ironic. 

	And John Sharman calls *cryonicists* money-grubbing?
