I pushed a lot of buttons and levers. I also take responsibility for my actions. I will continue truthfully answering questions asked by 3 letter agencies even if it means an undesirable outcome for myself. I enjoy working in this industry and I stay closely in touch with Eric and Jonah. Like Eric, when I became very uncomfortable working in the environment, I stepped down from my role.
I can take a forum beating and completely understand the justification to do so.
I may have not stepped down from my role quick enough in order to properly display my character and integrity as a business leader, and that is something I regret. Hopefully time will heal and mend some of the professional and personal relationships I have built over the last few years. I'm also willing to help out where I can and be more available to do so.
Thanks.
A start would be making ALL of the financials on your non-profit FULLY available on a monthly basis. And, I say monthly because part of Josh's recommended expatriation scheme was to use a state-side non-profit to funnel money over seas to him. So, if you release monthly, then they match your annual... that will go a long way in showing that you're not the non-profit fulfilling that role.
