To be fair, Winston offered to pay off the 13 rs charge when he was prime minister but the club was happy to continue to list it as an "irrecoverable debt." https://www.thenewsminute.com/karnataka/why-winston-churchills-unpaid-bangalore-club-bill-featured-sc-case-132668

Carl Malamud (carlmalamud@official.resource.org)'s status on Saturday, 06-Jan-2024 09:56:36 JST Carl Malamud Sold the last of my legacy Internet addresses. Two /23, one /24, 6 ASNs. Raised $81k. Could have made them a me thing, but transferred them to Public Resource first so they could do good things.
Do you have legacy addresses but don’t want the hassle of selling them? Give them to Public Resource, I’ll sell them, you’ll get a tax donation for your in-kind contribution (the bill of sale sufficient proof for the IRS for you to claim them, I’ll handle all the registry formalities).
