The money is in. Our bank account is so full, money is spilling out of it. I
mean that in the most literal sense while still not talking about physical
cash. Knowing that the funds would be in there by the end of the day, I set an
autopayment for a number of various charities, so the full amount was only
available for a few minutes before a chunk of it was gone. I’m laughing now,
reading all of the replies and comments from readers who were under the
impression that I was getting scammed. Oh, so many of you thought that it was
never gonna happen; that I was just setting myself up for failure. We kept
mentioning all the things we had to do at the bank, and whatever. You were
convinced that it was going to come back to bite us in the ass. I suppose I
can see where you could have guessed that. In an alternate reality, that’s
what would happen; us becoming the victims of a long con. The thing is,
though, even though I’m not telling you who commissioned me to give up my
specimens, he’s not just some random guy who claimed to have a bunch of money.
He’s fully on the books, and can’t run from me. The FBI, and other agencies,
were fully aware that this was all happening, and they could have easily gone
after him if he hadn’t been on the up and up. I know that a lot of scams work
by telling you that they’ll give you a whole lot of money if you just give
them a tiny bit up front, and the idea is that they’ll accept the tiny bit,
and just run away with it, because to them, it was better than zero. But this
guy didn’t ask me for a cent, and like I said, he’s a public figure with a
life to lead. Taking my index and bone marrow probably won’t do much for him,
especially since as I’ve been trying to tell everyone, they’re not the key to
immortality. Risking going to prison by stealing them? That would have been
even more absurd. He set the price, and he paid it. He paid it today, and now
that business is done. I’m keeping enough of it for the three of us to live
comfortably in this house, and to pay my security detail and publicist.
Everything else should be spent on things that help the community, and maybe
the world.
