I base my judgement on the information I have at my disposal. If the facts change my judgement will change accordingly. I could refuse to pass judgement until I have "the complete and true facts" (as if that's even possible). I could wisely shake my head and say "well, it's complicated", "there are always shades of gray", "people ought to be adult about these matters".

Refusal to take a side is just http://lesswrong.com/lw/yp/pretending_to_be_wise/.

Based on the post by the OP I consider the claim that he is entitled to $12.8 million ludicrous, and I stand by that.
