[tor-relays] Reimbursement of Exit Operators

[tor at t-3.net]

The OP I saw said:

 The Wau Holland Foundation can currently only
reimburse via wire transfer.

This seems to be end-of-story in terms of who, in the end, is 
ultimately getting liability/risk, and points to practically no chance 
at anonymity within our currently hacked banking system. It's not 
related to taxation or what organization may or may not be trusted. 
It's about what information is being gathered from the system by 3rd 
parties for possible use tomorrow.

There's another perspective to this as well. Speaking objectively and 
without knowledge of the organization involved, and nothing personal 
intended. It may be worth noting that certain presumably-Tor-hostile 
and well-funded agencies are known to infiltrate the tech 
organizations/efforts which they wish to weaken, and influence them 
from the inside. In this context, seeing Tor's exit node operators 
being offered cash via bank transfer is waist-deep into creepy.
