We do not see any donations from anyone by that name.

The activity you describe is obviously
unacceptable. However, the amount
of time and effort that out associated with tracking down and returning a
particular $20 contribution would not be worth it.

Newyorkbrad, it wouldn't be all that difficult, given that the
person's name is known, it was clearly done with Paypal, we have the
date the donation was made, etc, etc.
Furthermore, as the WMF have publicly spoken on these edits,[1] it
would be amiss to condemn the edits but not disavow donations made as
part of those edits.
The WMF should be refunding the donation.
Even more worse, the Kremlin is using the English
Wikipedia to support a
misinformation campaign around the shoot down of MH17 by Russian
separatists in Ukraine.[1] Thankfully we have these new watchdog Twitter
bots to spot interference by unsophisticated government actors, of both
the
playfully harmless and the dangerously harmful
varieties.
Nathan, it is fantastic that Jen Psaki wishes to engage with the
Wikimedia community, but could you please in future ask her to send
her brainfarts from her own account. :)
Cheers
Scotty
