"I'm honestly curious what point you think I'm responding to..."

are you? you don't sound very curious. you haven't asked a single question.

"You did actually use grossly inaccurate financial data"

your make-believe is showing.

From your source: "After a decade of professional fund-raising, it has now amassed $400 million of cash as of March”.

From you: "they have at least 400 million in reserves now".

Their financial audit, that I linked to, shows that they have nowhere near that much cash. They don't even have that much total assets if you count their endowment, real estate, and computer hardware.

The entire reason for my comment was that I read that number, thought "wow, that number seems preposterous", and looked up their financial report which shows that indeed, it's a totally bogus number detached from reality.

You seem deeply upset that someone might not just accept your opinion at face value, and it seems to be making you respond like an asshole instead of "not responding because you don't care", or actually giving some sort of response.
