    #4  As I read it, the millions of corporate donations were likely from the hospitality sector.

    #3  This has nothing to do with the government or any legal finding, according to the article. Someone started a GoFundMe for thr victims, and in the end they got so many donations that it was turned into a proper nonprofit organization that will now start cashing out, as originally intended. The justice system will make whatever ruling they make, and perhaps the city of Las Vegas and/or the hotel will settle with the victims and their families whenever that happens; but in the meantime, the generosity of Americans will bring some measure of comfort to the bereaved.

    #2  Apparently somewhere there is 'sufficient' information that a ruling of wrongful death tops act of terrorism or criminal act.

    #1  A settlement that is fair for the arms dealer that made the worst atrocity since 9/11.

    Fair enough,
    But the USG has not settled with me yet about how their Rogue got into this to start with, and more.
