>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.



Confirming: 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.
