The foundation that runs  and accepts donations for  the online encyclopedia Wikipedia neglected to do a basic background check before hiring a chief operating officer who had been convicted of theft, drunken driving and fleeing a car accident.

Well, now I get it. If one can't be a success anywhere else or even if one can't get a job anywhere else, one can at least edit pages on Wikipedia and/or be their Chief Operating Officer.  I wonder how much money this scam site stole from people over the years?
