10 months agoTo Nole Skum it is a joke. He has a total wealth of about $270 billion. $250 million is approxinately 1/1000 of that.
So divide your wealth by 1000, think of how you would feel losing that due to a rare event, while you knowingly took the risk. Does not seem like a big deal to me at all.
