One small, but important, detail left out of this argument is that, in the Preface of Captain Tom's book he seems to allude to the fact that he was delighted to write the book to add to his charitable activities. So, it's still unclear whether, or not, the Ingram Moore family should have taken that money.

[@rb1062]

Very disingenuous of Hannah to aay that "it's all been taken away" - when it's her actions which have caused mistrust and could well hsve destroyed the charity founded by her father.

[@BK10011]

The argument put forward here by one of the panelist’s “you want to set them up if you know you’re going to pass away soon??” Maybe she hasn’t noticed the type of property they live in…how much is that worth? Just look at the grounds it’s set in! The family do not look or appear short of money. I believe it’s totally immoral to set up a ‘charity’ in any form, create goods in the name of that charity or use the word ‘foundation’ and then take a reported £800k from proceeds raised from members of the public who are led to believe ALL the money is going to the charity. The argument “we made a mistake” given by the family, I find absurd! A mistake is perhaps recording a figure incorrectly or saying something that’s misinterpreted…but building a pool/spa on the grounds of your home is NOT a mistake, it’s a well thought out planned decision. If they were totally transparent, why did they not communicate BEFORE the book went on sale that the money was for personal gain? I wonder what the book sales would have been had they disclosed this information? I find in life that people are always really sorry when they get found out and the truth emerges. If they are truly sorry, why not donate the proceeds back to the NHS? or another AGREED worthy cause. My last suggestion would be that no family member or anyone close to a charitable cause should have autonomy on where funds raised should go. How did the daughter end up a paid director of Captain Tom’s charity? and who, if anyone allowed her and her family to benefit financially?

[@hologram1954]

According to there website proceeds of the books were to go towards the foundation not to the family.

[@ginskimpivot753]

The gentleman was exemplary, and he personally raised a lot of money which went straight to the NHS. The sad irony is, the family's rather obvious fast and loose exploitation of the man's good deeds will now lead to a financial feeding frenzy for lawyers. It's a natural human foible to have grief and loss mitigated to some degree by a financial legacy, but It's starting to look like the shopping lists were being drawn up during the funeral.

[@SandraPrice-c5g]

The short answer to this question is YES. A great deal of money nearby is a great temptation to anyone - it would seem that this daughter succumbed. Greed is there, just plain greed. Her Father was a National treasure and his name stands without tarnish. His daughter stands before the world shamed.

While they sat in acres and acres of land, outside the massive house, with the children attending private school, the son-in-law using the wife’s surname because he’s clearly running away from something (debt I would suggest, it’s the usual reason) and their tragically failing business. All seemed a bit suspicious to me too! It’s a shame because I like the old guy, but I certainly wasn’t throwing my money at it or the NHS that failed me & my family multiple times, massively, when we should’ve had payouts and received nothing.

[@stephenlewis8760]

The problem here which the media seems scared to talk about as I guess this family does generate a lot of views is if you actually read the books, the foreword by Tom clearly states that he believed the books were part of the charity efforts and thus the money generated would go to the NHS. He was clearly a wise person who understood that these books had it not been the link to charity and the belief that buying one would be an indirect donation to the charity would never have seen the light of day. It's not helped by the fact at every stage the family have tried to keep control of the foundation and money and use for personnel gain. Why attach the foundations name to a planning application which turned out to be a luxury spa for family use, why the need to be CEO of the foundation with a 5/6 figure salary... If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck it's probably not the swan everyone's hoped for.
