Looking in the Internet Archive, their staff page never lists anything with the keyword ‘finance’ (for the past 2-3 years), so I’m not sure that’s a strong argument from silence.
The “finance board” that she’s a part of is one of LF’s “advisory boards”, which look like they total 1000+ people; see the first link in the grandparent. These people aren’t employees even though they have bios on the site. My impression is they just get listed on the site and added to a mailing list.
Yep. They seem to just look for people who have some connection, however tenuous, to what they do, and then ask nicely if you’d like to be on the board. Then they email you occasionally and maintain a wee profile with links to your stuff. It’s pretty okay.
I think you may be right. I just took a look at the 2011 form 990 (2012 is not out), which is where I’d expect to first see her mentioned if she was handling books for them, but the form is listed as being prepared by the president Eric Klien and Isaac is not mentioned anywhere in it I can see.
So in December 2009, Alicia Isaac was arrested for stealing from SIAI. One year later, she was hired by the Lifeboat Foundation, where she apparently still works.. On the finance board, no less!
Was she vindicated in 2010, or is the Lifeboat Foundation just stupid?
Luke in his questions page for when he became director said the case was ongoing and scheduled for trial, IIRC, and that was either 2011 or 2012.
I’m not sure stupid is the right adjective for the things I wonder about Lifeboat...
Based on the links, I don’t think she actually works there any more than all the other advisory board members do. She isn’t listed on the staff page.
