Re: It'd be such a blatant scam that there'd be no other scam in history to compare it to.

This is just ridiculous.

1. Cryonics patient are not dead. That's the whole point of what we do. Dead people cannot be resuscitated by definition. That existing law does not seem to allow cryonics patients to execute an individual trust (although this cannot be completely correct because some individual cryonicists have executed such trusts) does not make these people dead.

2. If the patients cannot be resuscitated, the trust can provide for donating the money to a non-profit or existing relatives. There is no apriori reason why the cryonics organization would benefit from such trusts.

This part I do not even understand:

"Well... You could wake up one of the richest people on earth purely for gaming the system.

So let me ask you: If you were born in 2100 would you allow some random frozen people to become earth's new financial rulers?"

???????????????????

How does earning interest, or return on your investment, during long term care constitute "gaming the system"? How is that different from a person investing his money and not touching it for a long time? Where do you draw the line?
