Investment in Arts & Culture GV in 2024?

Why would anyone be happy with giving away 250k and receiving absolutely nothing that was promised, over two years later?

That isnt to say I might not still end up happy eventually, but all the uncertainty makes me wish I had an opportunity to at least recover some of the money via investment fund or real estate.

Not sure why anyone would choose this route now, knowing what a shit show ARI has become.
