Billionaire brothers David and Charles Koch launched a legal battle Wednesday over control of the Cato Institute, the influential libertarian think tank one of them helped found nearly 40 years ago.

The Kochs filed a lawsuit in Kansas, where the institute was created, demanding that the widow of its longtime chairman give back his shares of the nonprofit company.


If they win, I wonder if they will change its name back to what it was originally called...the Charles Koch Foundation?

How does a non profit "think tank" (lulz) have ownership shares?

I think we should declare the OP a non profit think tank.

I think we should turn the Outpost into a for profit non think tank.

Yeah, it's for profit. The problem is they don't make any money.

Which is why the Outpost will be closed in 2012!
