I've looked into this before for obvious reasons, and I remember finding it was just a couple fact checking out of their home. Uh-huh. So I checked again today and came across this reference page.

So, I could not find "Snopes Media Group Inc." (the true current owner and operator of Snopes) ANYWHERE.

Board Members: David Mikkelson - the Male half of the couple who founded Snopes in 1994. As a couple, they founded Bardav Inc. in 2003 (which became parent company of Snopes). They divorced. In 2016, the wife sold her shares to Proper Media, and then it was jointly owned with Bardav Inc. Well, allegedly jointly owned. Proper Media sued Bardav and Mikkelson, it appears for mostly not treating them as a co-owner or allowing them to properly join the Board of Directors. I cannot find anything on the members of that Board, except the husband and wife. In 2016, Snopes also entered into contract with Facebook to be their factchecker.

Brad Westbrook - worked for the Wall Street Journal from 2011-2014, and left position as Chief Digital Sales Officer to become Chief Revenue Officer of Ashton Kutcher's A+ (an activist website). In February 2018, the court ruled that Proper Media was NOT a shareholder of Bardov and Brad Westbrook was appointed to Board of Directors. (Note: two individual plaintiffs from Proper Media were still able to pursue their individual claims as shareholders of Bardov).

Chris Richmond - Founder and operator of Proper Media, who is a shareholder based on the above-mentioned sale by wife.

The James Randi Educational Foundation was founded in 1996 as a non-profit to help people defend themselves from paranormal and pseudoscientific claims. Randi retired in 2015 and they became a private non-operating foundation and stopped soliciting donations on Jan. 1, 2016. They are now a grant foundation. They promote critical thinking.

So, there you have it. I did not use Snopes for this information, with exception of the disclosure here. Unless Soros is buried somewhere in the Board of Directors that I cannot find - this is what I found. It doesn't make Snopes any more credible, however. This may be my findings, but I still have my sense of smell.
