Now why couldn't you just reply with that, alone and in the first reply, instead of raging?

Because I am tired of people who, after 5 seconds of thought, think they've come up with a decisive refutation because apparently they think cyronics people must be idiots and the organizations involved have survived by sheer luck, and can't be bothered to so much as read a Wikipedia article (the ALCOR Wikipedia article mentions in the infobox the patient trust fund as a source of revenue!).

And how does the existence of a separate trust fund change the fact that a nonprofit is a still company, just with a different tax scheme?

It makes all the difference in the world, as I've already explained.
