Now let's assume we get this whole mess figured out. Should the charity remain open? Will these guys ever have the full trust of the community again so they could operate the charity if they ran it correctly?
I think you're too optimistic, but I'd love to see you're right. Considering you didn't get a complete answer for several weeks now, I'm not really expecting much anymore.
But if they somehow manage to come up with convincing numbers that show all the money was used properly, I'm not going to tell them to stop their charity work.
