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.

create or work with a trusted organization who is willing to shoulder liability, risk, and expense of investigating the legality and tax consequences, and then actually executing, reimbursing people through anonymous means.
It's not easy. May not even be possible. But there is a rigid but not inflexible framework of tax law that must be worked within.
IMO, this is net gain. Excited to see it happen, and congrats to all whose hard work has brought it here.
