Recent events have me thinking

I would just like a responce on how the money being transferred would hurt the game.
I feel that Zenith owes the community, especially Pinky and I, an explanition as to how the money being transferred would hurt the game in any way. I will offer an explanition on how it will help the game...

I am a fairly active player. The money donated to me (~15 million) became a 10 million dollar house (up from my previous 750 thousand house) and money in the bank. I promply donated money to my gang (100 thousand) and distributed it evenly to my members (12500 each). Projecting this wealth forward, I would have had faster stat gains (gaining ~42/full/full training vs ~25). I would have been able to buy any weapon I want. I would have made some interest in the bank (~1200/day, I think). My gang would likely become stronger with increased giving to the gang. All in all this would positively affect 8, and maybe as many as 18 players (if you include the entire Bad Family of gangs). It would affect the rest of the community negetively how? those 18 players would, in theory, be harder to kill, and it would be easier for them to kill.
Should that be the reason to remove this gift? If it is, then I demand the removal of wealth from myself and all of the elders, because nobody should be more powerful than someone else. Levels are ok, because you have to work at that, but them having more wealth than the rest of us has already ruined the game.
Zenith, what has "destabilized" the game is the ability to spend real cash for game cash. Fortunately for you, Casanova does not live in the US, and I am not litigous. Based on the rules you had in place at the time the gift was given, and based on prior precendent within the game, in other similar games and in the court of law, you could be sued.
I just want a well explained explanition on your decision. For taking 20 million from your players that someone gave you cold hard cash for, you owe the community that.
