JK Rowling doesn't give a sh*t about a good story anymore now it's all about the money.

Whatever her motives for writing "Fantastic Beasts", it's not for money. She's already rich beyond the dreams of avarice, and spends a lot of her time giving the money she already has away.

This is NOT a defense of her screenplays in this series, which and been weak and godawful, respectively. Just saying that money isn't her primary motive.
