Yes, according to page 8, Hopkins salary for 2015 was $175,850.

And?

Your opinion of that is what?

You all need to keep this on topic and not give into the troll otherwise they will shut down the thread.  Ignore her.

Any time stuff like this happens, whether it's a teacher, coach, priest, etc. people who try to say and theorize why or why not victims did what they did really really really upset me.  Unless you've been through that or are close to someone who has you just need to shut the hell up.  That's no ones place but theirs to tell, not ours to try and guess or shame them for.  Of course that's a huge part of understanding how this stuff can happen, the atmosphere and environment created for them to feel like the come forward is so important, but that's theirs to tell and discuss, not ours to theorize.  

This thread has been so shockingly civil.......until the last few pages.  Think it might be time for me to sign off DCP.  Was gonna do that anyway but reading the way this discussion has headed is pretty upsetting.

Ball game. They'll know how to proceed on the human dimension. Thankfully, the tax returns are all online these days which gives reporters a head start on financial aspects that may be of interest in parsing systemic abuses.

The corps' 990 forms have in fact been the subject of much discussion on these very forums, but as someone who has to work on a 990 each year, I know that they don't actually tell you all that much about the details.

I wonder how that compares with other world-class corps director salaries?  Related to this particular thread, I wonder if he will be asked to repay any of this.  Mainly, I was trying to get a sense of what type of money might be there for someone suing him or Yea! to go after.

Sociopaths are wacky that way. 

Dealing with narcissism is an art form. Hope the powers that be have been clear with the accused about parameters for contacting the organization. People injured narcissistically tend to like to take the ship down with them.

No, I will not.  She/He can have crazy ideas so long as they are presented civilly and with respect.  I don't want to shut down the discussion with him/her, I just want knowledgeable substantiation for the incendiary statements he/she is making.

I'm truly interested in his/her opinion.  But ya' gotta play nice or the guys in pointy shoes and tommy guns come to shut things down.

 

Time for dinner.  (Where can I eat that has wifi?...)
