The Register story is about one thing: The COO of the WMF having a
rather serious criminal record. Anything else mentioned is
insignificant. It's quite clear what "this" means.

That said, are you now claiming that you did know about "this" (for
whatever value of "this" you thing appropriate) before the register
story? If so, you've just confessed to gross incompetence.
