The mathematical community gave everything to him, if it was for all they people that took their time to teach him in Russia and in the USA he would be nothing, a nobody, it would be only fair if he could pay this debt by teaching others as well, and yet he refuses it, refuses the money he rightfully earned, he spits on Hamilton's face, he spits on the entire mathematical community, so you don't accept prizes and money because of ethics? What a joke, what is ethical about spitting on the face of all the people who helped you get where you are now? What is ethical about letting your own mother getting poorer and poorer, what is ethical about being a parasite to society? There's nothing ethical about doing nothing all day, about wasting your huge talent. This man is treated as a hero, but he should be nothing more than a joke, a clown.
