The Leonard Lopate Show
The Man Who Gave Too Much
In the current issue of The New Yorker, James B. Stewart profiles the dramatic turn philanthropist Alberto Vilar's life has taken. After donating hundreds of millions of dollars to different opera houses, Mr. Vilar was indicted on charges of money laundering and fraud. Now, his name has been removed from the Grand Tier of the Metropolitan Opera, and he's facing the possibility of millions of dollars in fines, and up to 150 years in jail.
