Well, I do for one. It's great that you are able to get help through a rough patch, but maybe there is a charity that does similar work without ripping off the folks who are contributing to the charity. The people who are contributing money might not be too thrilled with the prospect that a significant amount of that money is going to bloated salaries. That, coupled with the fact that the FBI is investigating them would give me pause whether I was on the giving or receiving end of the deal.
