Yea imagine that... The internet is an excellent invention to run smear campaigns this is EXACTLY why [[WP:BLP]] was drafted.
I do not know nor care if Jimbo edited his bio, there is nothing banning him from doing so regardless. What made people think Jimbo is not allowed to edit the article on him? It is not like Jimbo was involved in a political scandal he is trying to cover up.
If Jimbo is really wasting foundation money, he is doing a very poor job. When I saw him he was wearing a wikia t-shirt and not something remotely expensive. He was also not juggling $300 worth wine bottles.
Fund management is the duty of foundation people and I do believe they spend plenty of stressful time to balance the budget that historically had never hit the foundation target. I'd imagine they would be the first people to lynch Jimbo if he wastes a penny.

He did not edit the bio. He did not buy $300 bottles of wine with donation funds.
Please don't take everything you read on the Internet at face value.
