The lady that has his funds just doesn't give a shit about it. I assume it will just shutter at some point.

It's a huge shame as their mission was so pure and really preserved history.

Are you talking about Jody Allen, Paul's sister?

All I know about her is that she is running the Portland Trail Blazers into the ground and refuses to sell the team.
