That sounds like fun, would you like some company?

That proxy thing is bullshit.
I wouldn't say that.

A lady in the maritime provinces won one of the largest jackpots in my lifetime, a total of $38 million dollars. She was forced to move three times due to constant harrassment by beggers, solicitors and other such people. Earlier this year she suffered a triple heartattack brought on by the stress of the whole ordeal. Arranging it so that no one knows you have the money is most often the best way to go about his sort of thing.

Lord knows I'd go that route. I'd also have my phone number changed and delisted, my official address made a rented postal box and go so far as to do everything in my power to remain out of the public eye.
