That AFR article on Woods referred to one key factor, but failed to analyse it.
Namely that Woods left an inheritance of around 1 billion dollars!
The problem is that as Woods did not reside anywhere, the idea that his inheritance should be ratified at his last official residence Melbourne - in the 70's - is a sick joke.
The reality is that shysters are going to milk it for all it is worth - namely 1 billion dollars. So there is about as much left over as we taxpayers received from the Chase for Skase.
His protege David Steicke will feel aggrieved that his record of boosting shyster revenue by $38 million for a mere divorce preliminary will be obliterated by the Woods figure.
Now given that Woods had ample advance notice of his own death, and dedicated his life to dodging taxes, why didn't he figure out some way of transferring his estate to his intended heirs, rather than open up the mother of all shyster benefits?
Not only will he be remembered as a cynical crook, but as dumber than the average mug.
Some leviathan!
