All of that existed when he was doing this in the first place. I didn't say he was still abusing expenses, I am asking if there is any evidence to support his claim that he no longer has any expenses paid for at all. I can not find any auditors or board members supporting that claim.
- nmridul 14y agoIs there any evidence from auditors et al that says he his abusing it now ?
- papsosouid 14y agoLike I said in the very post you replied to, I am not suggesting he is abusing it now. I am suggesting he draws a salary and expenses normal business expenses, but is saying otherwise.
- chris_wot 14y agoWithout going bough all the receipts, you can't. But can you see any auditors or board members denying the claim?
- papsosouid 14y ago>Without going bough all the receipts, you can't. Right, which is why claiming auditors, etc support the claim is farcical. Wikimedia financials only say "salaries" and "expenses", it isn't broken down per person. >But can you see any auditors or board members denying the claim? I don't know that they are even aware of the claim.
- metasj 14y agoConfirming: I have served on the Board with Jimmy for three years. He takes no salary or expenses from the Foundation. For instance, while most of our 10-person Board (who all volunteer our time) have travel and lodging for Board meetings reimbursed, he arranges his own. To the contrary, he promotes WMF fundraising, and encourages groups to which he speaks to donate or provide in-kind support to the WMF.
