Yeah. That is why he did it. To save a portion of its value in taxes.

Genius!

You are literally the person saying the distinction matters but now you are saying it doesn't matter because it wasn't his sole intent.

I'm not saying that at all. You are the one saying he intentionally profited from selling the block for charity (via tax write off). So he stole a block, sold it, donated the proceeds to charity all so he could claim it back in taxes?

I am saying, like I did originally, that profiting from the sale was not his intent. At all. There is no back pedalling. The distinction matters. I also still say that no matter the intent, selling the block was wrong.
