I'm interested in this question as well.

• One Alcor member told me that wealthy people like Peter Thiel are members of Alcor, and so they have a personal interest in Alcor's long-term survival.

• One CI member told me that CI keeps the money for storage in an entity that is legally separate from the entity that administers perfusions, which makes it less likely that a lawsuit will result in their patients being thawed. This is confusing because the person seems to have been talking about Alcor's Patient Care Trust.

• One CI member told me that they signed up for CI because they lived in the Midwest and were not wealthy.
