Summary

A U.S. court blocked Rupert Murdoch’s attempt to amend his family trust to give control of his media empire to his son Lachlan, deeming it a “carefully crafted charade” favoring Lachlan over his siblings.

The trust is currently set to equally divide control among Murdoch’s four eldest children after his death.

The ruling highlighted bad faith efforts by Rupert and Lachlan and was welcomed by the other siblings.

Murdoch and Lachlan plan to appeal the decision, which has sparked internal family tensions likened to the TV drama Succession.

I hope his children destroy his estate through their greed.

I’d hope his children would heel-turn and dismantle his empire after deciding they don’t want to be an evil misanthropic Palpatine like him…

…but I’m a bit of an idealist. =\

Did rupert accidentally raise some children that aren’t cartoonishly ghoulish?

Yes, that’s why he’s trying to amend it for the one that is similarly ghouly.

It is a moot point because ghouls cannot die

What kind of name is Lachlan?!

interurbain1er@sh.itjust.works on 11 Dec 07:49 collapse

Lachlan is a masculine name of Irish origin, meaning “from the land of lakes” or “from the fjord land.” It is an Anglicized version of the Gaelic and Scottish Lachlann, which means “warrior from the land of the lochs” with loch meaning “lake” or “fjord” and lann translating to “land.”
