In a sense, if you're acting legitimately. Yes, if not. In this case every indication is that Bill is using the mechanisms as intended,and then some. Money goes from him to the foundation. The foundation spends it. Once the money is in the foundation it can't go back to him, legally or ethically. They are doing good work, unquestionably charitable. I get the skepticism, given how anything involving tax often works. But, not everything is a scam.
