The whole thing is a money laundering scheme.

Well, not much money is involved, so if it is, I don't really care.

$20 million annually from donations isn't much money?

Irrelevant.

And most of that is ad revenue. At least they're not beggars.

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.

Yes, non-profit salaries. That's not an oxymoron at all.

Jimmy Wales is obviously a crook.
