Thursday, November 29, 2012
TAMPA, Florida (AP) — Abraham Shakespeare could barely read, only write his name in block letters and had given away most of his US$17 million in lottery winnings when he became friends with Dorice 'Dee Dee' Moore, a calculating woman who later became his financial advisor, prosecutors said yesterday.
During opening statements in Moore's first-degree murder trial in Tampa, assistant state attorney Jay Pruner said Moore swindled what was left of Shakespeare's winnings from his bank account in 2009, then killed him and buried his body under a concrete slab in her backyard.

Congrats to the breh!!!!!!
But broadcasting this in East New York
For the most part, it's not random goons he has to worry about, it's family and friends, it's all kinds of scammers pretending to be investors, it's also himself ... to not try and give and give before realizing there isn't much more left and no more coming in.

Doesn't matter. Family can still get him.
Bad spending choices can still get him.

You're overstating the ignorance of the populace here. For instance, check out the Massachusetts lottery winners and look how many trusts claimed winnings:

That first one is from a corner store in the hood, too.

For everyone asking, New York state doesn't allow anonymity for lotto winners.

That doesn't mean it's not true that just means a work around exist.

298 is a projection if you let them hold it and invest it, and give it you in increments. so it's 180 as a lump sum. then they tax the fukk outta you
it wouldnt be 298 if he took it in increments, it would be like 200. personally i would take the 114 immediately and invest it myself, fukk trusting the government with that
The govt is likely to invest it in U.S. Treasury securities which is the safest bet other than straight cash
With the difference being cash depreciates with inflation over time so your 290 Million isn't worth that in 2039-49 etc
He takes the lump sum now and puts it at risk but there's no guarantee he's gonna live the 30yrs to collect the annuity
At least they pay your estate now if you die early
taking the lump sum should be based on your age
If you're young (under 30) and/or generally dumb about money then take the annuity
