The Gonzo Trust of Hunter S. Thompson

Hunter S. Thompson, the King of Gonzo journalism (defined as, “journalism [which can be] more truthful without strict observance of traditional rules of factual reportage” according to Wikipedia) died of an apparent suicide on February 20, 2005.

Three days later, his will date June 27, 2003 was offered for probate. 

The will leaves his property to “The Gonzo Trust” and provides for his estate to pass through this trust managed by Hal Haddon of Denver (the attorney who represented Kobe Bryant ), George Tobia of Boston (attorney), and Douglas Brinkley of New Orleans (historian).
