Jimmy Wales has a networth of about $1 million. That's not a terribly large amount of money, but it's still a good chunk for someone running a non-profit beggar site. There is also no record of how he made this money. He's obviously skimming some money from the donations, which is highly illegal.
Or, you know, maybe that's his salary.
Yes, non-profit salaries. That's not an oxymoron at all.
Jimmy Wales is obviously a crook.
uh non-profit organizations have to pay their employees as well
With donation money.
Yes.
That's called stealing.
No.
Let me get this straight...
Wikipedia asks for donations annually. Gives this money to their employees (Who do... what exactly? Beg for more money), then they get volunteers to actually run their site. That's called stealing. The money should go to keeping the servers running ONLY. The bulk of wikipedia was created by unpaid volunteers.
Jimmy Wales uses the money he makes from begging to line his own pockets. That's called stealing, because he's esentially lying to people when he's asking for money.
Jimbo: "We need money to keep the servers up"
Unassuming nice-guy: "Aw. Alright. Since you guys are non-profit I will donate to keep the servers up for this great site"
Jimbo: *pockets the money for personal use"
Blanko, c'mon now. That's stealing. You know it.
