greatwhite 0 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Mon Aug 07 15:18:00 PDT 2006All For CharityDavid Einhorn has just told Cardplayer.com that he has pledged all of his tournament winnings for the Main Event to charity. Einhorn has decided to give whatever he makes in this tournament directly to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Disease. I don't know who this guy is or what he does, but I want him to win. Link to post Share on other sites

CrAcKeDaCeS 0 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Who is David Einhorn? After I read that on CP.com, I googled his name and all I could find is a rabbi that died in 1879. Shalom, Mr. Einhorn. Link to post Share on other sites
herokid7 0 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 The only thing I can figure is that guy must already be rich. I respect him for doing it, but it seems to me that would be a hard thing to do if you weren't already well off. But, if he's not, he's a MUCH better person than me. Link to post Share on other sites
nell789 0 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 David Einhorn is an asshole.I actually know him personally, and you are 100% correct. He's a multi-millionaire, and got there by stepping on every unfortunate person he could. He may give all his winnings to charity (tax reasons i'm sure), but I bet he doesn't even tip the dealers if he wins. Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteSpade 0 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 If he does win, I'm sure the donation will be highly publicized and great for poker. Link to post Share on other sites

I doubt that PR from this will make much of a difference. I'm rooting against him.Also, has anyone else heard about that guy who gained musical talent after getting PD? Think of all the people who enjoy his compositions. Think all off the talent that will never been gained because of advancements from a $12,000,000 grant. This is a very, very bad thing.

Elpedro 0 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 this gets old because unfortunately a lot of people who say these things are doing it for PR reasons. Why not just donate the money after it's all over without announcing it? I hate PR moves, it's pretty convienient for him to do it now when the field is small and he can get some extra TV time and featurettes based on his "good will". Link to post Share on other sites

Sure you might not like the guy or have other reasons for not wanting him to win, but to think the money would be better in the poker community than for research is sad.
