I appreciate y'all's feedback on my post, and provide the following rebuttal:

I'm not sure about that. I think Heisenberg was always dormant in WW, which is why his ego forced him to sell out of Gray Matter after Gretchen spurned him for Elliot.
I agree H was always been within WW; the duality of man applies to all - better angels of our nature and all of that. And the details of who spurned who are open for debate - if you believe Gretchen, WW dumped her. It seems she comes from a higher class, and WW does not and inside has an inferiority complex. He dumped her and grey matter and hauled ass.
What I meant is the symbolism in the show of the "confrontation" with E&G; "pure" WW being confronted by Heisenberg W.

Don't you agree WW has done certain things along the way that attempt to minimize his evil and reflect the still current good within? This is one such action. Disagree all you like but it's as good a theory as any about uses to which he'll put the ricin. The use on Lydia is too obvious for these guys, and at this point there's no reason for him to want to kill her.

He can't just roll up his barrels of cash to the drug center. They would be seized.
I disagree. They will certainly seize the money if it shows up almost anywhere else, but can you honestly see the DEA taking on the reputational shi%tstorm that would happen if they seized funding for a drug treatment center? That's about the only place it can land that they wont seize. It might be in barrels of cash, or some other way, but no way in hell DEA takes that money from those folks.
Heisenberg is gonna want heavy publicity for the donation for 2 reasons: (1) to stop DEA seizure and (2) to get credit for it. #2 applies to Saul's "turn yourself in, you'll be the modern day John Dillinger" speech in vacuum guy's basement room, and to the ego trip/slap in your face to E&G for trumping their donation.
