According to the Register, the Foundation's former COO was convicted felon. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/12/13/wikimedia_coo_convicted_felon/
This is just great. And now all the Register's previous material looks correct because they broke this nonsense. This is likely going to be all over the newspapers tomorrow. I'm so shocked and appalled that I don't even know what to say about this. Why were basic background checks not done and why didn't we know about this sooner. Are we trying to implode?
