I don't believe that's "very clear" at all. You yourself said "If what Ben said is true...." I think it's very possible - to the extent that Ben cautioned against it himself - that this may be a misunderstanding.
In my nearly seven years at the WMF I never once saw corruption of the sort you suggest. Not once. And I think it's safe to say I was well connected.

We should probably start with our high and mighty leader, Jimbo, just like everyone else, He should now be 'elected' into the BoT, no more free seats..Wikimedia has now grown to an extent where we may no longer need him to run the foundation or to hold a deciding vote on issues where he has his own interests in..This problem of lacking transparency has leaked down to the lower levels of wikimedia as well, is that the example they are going to set? .. As I said before, the longer this drags on, the more likelihood of a 'manufactured' truth coming out..
People who do wrong need time to come up with a good lie....everyone knows this..James spoke the moment he was "fired" for which he was reprimanded by the same authority that 'fired' him...If what Ben Creasy said is true, then its definitely not James on the wrong here and I'd be really effing pissed if he was made a 'scapegoat' by the powers that be to save their own useless hide..Its very clear that there is corruption at the highest order at WMF....the question is.. How deep does it go? ..
