LAGUNA BEACH, Calif., Dec. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ Bill Gross announced today that he was donating up to $500,000 to Orange County foodbanks and other charities providing critical assistance in this time of need, despite his neighbor Mark Towfiq s rebuffing his proposal that they settle the lawsuit between them and donate the legal fees to charities. Mr. Gross called on Mr. Towfiq to do the same. Regardless of whether Mr. Towfiq is interested in resolving this lawsuit, I am renewing my offer to him to join me in my donations to Covid relief causes, Mr. Gross said. If he has enough money to spend on multiple legal actions, he can certainly afford to help those in such desperate need. I have always believed that those who can help others less fortunate than themselves should do so.
