I've avoided this topic, but that statement is so off-base, and so likely to start an internet feeding frenzy, that I have to jump in. Never has anyone suggested any underhanded dealings has occurred with funds. What is being questioned by some is the very public and formally approved use of donated funds for purposes other than KHV research, when many donors contributed in the belief that their money would go to research. Among those who disagree with Spike, I am not aware of a single person who questions his good intentions.
