    It's a shame that such an institute feels obligated to give the money back, but I can see why they do. I promise, if I win Friday's Mega Millions lottery, I'll donate the money back.

    Rothstein claims a friendship with Don, and Don did dedicate a song to him and his wife on their anniversary a while back. However, the Caddo Institute itself seems to not even be aware of him at all, according to that article - the Caddo Institute's president Lowerre says "We just thought he was an attorney." Rothstein probably exaggerated the personal connection.

    While I understand that this money is "blood money" tainted by the fact that Rothstein ripped off so many people, I still wonder why it should be given back. Given back to whom - Rothstein - the guy who stole it?! I'd much rather this money, though gained wrongfully, could at least be used here in a positive way.

    Now, if the money was being given back to the people Rothstein ripped off, that would be another matter. Perhaps that's what's going on?

    If the article said that it was, I missed it. But his company is probably being sued, or something similar and needs to raise the funds and after the lawyers, I'd think it would go to those who were ripped off.

    Yes, that's right. I found another article that explains this a little better. This is my understanding of the situation: The Caddo Institute, along with several other charities that received donations from Rothstein, has had to come to an agreement with the firm's bankruptcy lawyers in order to return a portion of the funds, thus enabling the firm to pay debts including settlements to the victims.

    In that case, it is more than appropriate than the funds be given back.
