As soon as Mike was asked that question the
foundation
should have done their own investigation and then broken the
story. It
would have taken a couple of hours to get enough information
together
to spoil The Register's scoop.
Criminal background checks take at least a day, and possibly a few
days, to do properly, at least in the United States. The allegations
made in the Register story would have taken significant time for us
to
confirm or refute.
So the Wikinews volunteers are better at legal research than the WMF
General Counsel? Great...
