I wouldn't call this the 'latest' news. It's known for nearly two years |
| 7 |
at this point. |

Matthew Summers (quantumsummers), in his previous role as treasurer, and |
| 10 |
during public trustee meetings, stated that he had a CPA for Gentoo, and |
| 11 |
that filing was taking place [1]. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
As the successor treasurer to quantumsummers, I sought out those |
| 14 |
filings, and could not find any evidence that they actually took place: |
| 15 |
- The IRS claimed no record of the filings. |
| 16 |
- quantumsummers did not: |
| 17 |
- reply to any requests asking for the filings |
| 18 |
- nor my request to get the CPA's contact information |
| 19 |
|

In my reconstructed book-keeping, there were also no expenses on record |
| 21 |
paying for any accounting during quantumsummers' tenure, nor any |
| 22 |
unaccounted expenses or income that could be correlated to it [2] |
| 23 |

[1] Here's the entries from the repo that holds the meeting logs: |

[2] There was a gap in source records earlier, when NetBank collapsed, |
| 31 |
but quantumsummers was not yet a trustee, and never had access to the |
| 32 |
NetBank account. I have a small loss recorded for that account & time- |
| 33 |
frame, that was probably unrecorded expenses (under $500 total) drawn |
| 34 |
from the NetBank account prior to the FDIC insurance coverage. It could |
| 35 |
have been more than that only if there was also unrecorded income to |
| 36 |
that account. |
