"News to me, but a crafty tax dodge."
I suppose that may be the only explanation that makes sense.
In my opinion, all joking aside, Levine should have willed AT LEAST the amount of money he won in his settlement with the Met back to that severely struggling company. Or rather, more specifically, if he wanted to make sure that people like Peter Gelb and the other powers that be at the company didn't benefit from the bequest in any way, he could have donated it specifically to a fund for the musicians, many/most of whom he worked with for many years. |
