I think it wise to remember that virtually anything you find on the internet can be called into question. Regarding Kim's being paid, I know for a fact that he has not been. You can believe the man himself, believe his company, or you can believe websites where anyone can say anything, like this one. Your choice. But my advice is that you need to have a few more sources than one, and they better be well know and reputable before you go around slamming someone. Any compensation he receives has to show up in the SEC filings. Find it there and you can believe it. Otherwise, "where's the beef?"
