Handing that sort of money to Jimmy should see the 'Controversy' section disappear alright ;)

Well it is good news. I am surprised that some other big tech names did not also contribute.

Their site is still down and asking for donations, I double checked before posting my previous reply.

Classified cable from US Embassy Reykjavik on Icesave dated 13 Jan 2010
This document, released by WikiLeaks on February 18th 2010 at 19:00 UTC, describes meetings between embassy chief Sam Watson (CDA) and members of the Icelandic government together with British Ambassador Ian Whiting.
