yes, maybe they spent some of the profit on personal things that they shouldn't have, but don't a lot of publicly-funded organizations do that? i'm not justifying it. i'm saying that when an institution takes a wrong step, or it is shown that the humans who make up its operating team take advantage of the situation, the whole institution shouldn't be squashed.
same reason you don't want to abolish the police force when a handful of them inappropriately take advantage of their power. work with internet archive to set up some transparency for fund-allocation. have them donate profits to libraries around the world.
