Fj you described it wellI "think they are very aware of Sheldon’s ways but he was a means to an end at the time." So in essence Sheldon was a asset to POET but over all maybe an a$$ole to himself. If a person has tons of money why would you risk scorn and ridicule from the general public for being so greedy. It doesn't make sense, life is just too short. But ,I guess, one has to be in that situation to really find out what one would do.
