To the extent that SIAI intends to work directly on FAI, potential donors (and many others) need to evaluate not only whether the organization is competent, but whether it is completely dedicated to its explicitly altruistic goals.
What is SIAI doing to ensure that it is transparently trustworthy for the task it proposes?
(I'm more interested in structural initiatives than in arguments that it'd be silly to be selfish about Singularity-sized projects; those arguments are contingent on SIAI's presuppositions, and the kind of trustworthiness I'm asking about encompasses the veracity of SIAI on these assumptions.)
For example, have we heard anything about that big embezzlement?
Some of the money has been recovered. The court date that concerns most of the money is currently scheduled for January 2012.
January 2012 has passed; any update?
As I understand it, we won a stipulated judgment for repayment of $40k+ of it. Another court date has been scheduled (I think for late March?) to give us a chance to argue for the rest of what we're owed.
Late March has passed. How did things pan out?
We won some more repayment in another stipulated judgment and there's another court date this month.
Good question. And for people who missed it, this refers to money that was reported stolen on SI's tax documents a few years ago. (relevant thread)
