Maybe this is Melvin's retirement plan? I've heard mention that his family isn't directly involved and he needs succession. I'm not calling Melvin old, but everybody thinks of calling it a day sooner or later.
If this is the case, I consider it another one of his brilliant ideas. If Forbes thrives, he (and his heirs) may make more money in the long run.
The most successful people I know didn't do it by themselves. They surrounded themselves with individuals as capable (or more so) than they were and let the business grow with the help of many.
