There is far too much unjustified suspicion about this. One administrator recently started deleting copyright infringing copies of Time magazine covers, an action for which he received the full authorization of Jimbo Wales. He was RfC'd! When finally he obtained from Jimbo permission to reproduce the email (which I also received) the response was to openly question his honesty, and demand that he prove that the email (which carried Jimbo's email address, that of the recipient, and my own name, and was posted openly on the wiki with Jimbo's permission) came from Jimbo.
Tony: Sorry guys! Queen Elizabeth gave me permission to tear down Buckingham Palace. Nothing you can do about it, nye ney! Tony: Evidence? What you mean I need evidence for? She emailed me and said I could. Tony: No I can't show it to you. She hasn't given me permission to show you the email yet. You trust me don't you? Tony: No I can't wait! Time is expensive and I have better things to do than argue with rules layers. I want this place cleared before tea-time.
Why do you make blatantly false accusations of lying against other editors?
This shocks me more than I can say.
