The inactions by the board of directors are a big part of the issue here. They knew, or should have known about all this financial abuse. They should have stopped it or fired Wayne, or both.
You assume that they weren't involved. I don't think that's possible, given that fact that utter idiots don't' end up on Boards of Directors.
Unless I'm mistaken, the Board doesn't govern, the bureaucracy (WLP) does. The Board, it seems to me, is more window dressing and there for PR, ultimately to encourage donations.
At least the NRA won't be paying WLP's legal bills with my donations.
Although I'm an Endowment member, I dried up that spigot some time ago.
