Jimbo Wales (hiring liars, then telling the press it's not a problem); Anthere (babysitting stipend); Essjay (a liar handed highest rank); Angela (edits Wikia article against policy); Arbcom; Our favorite admins. They stopped publishing their financial statements. They stripped all users of their membership. In fact, according to the lawyer who wrote the original bylaws (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Alex756), they stripped all users of their membership in part because of a fear that members would demand financial statements. Multiple top officials/former officials have privately expressed concern over financial wrongdoing by certain board members. At least one former staff member has publicly accused the current board chair of embezzlement. The executive director and head legal council resigned due to problems he had with the organization. Wikipedia lacks a Board of Trustee with a wide base of civic and social stakeholders. WMF is by design narrow and weak, reflecting only the interests of a dysfunctional social networking community. | | # '''Wikipedia's leadership may be corrupt and inept.'''
