Nope the top dogs are still raking in the big dollars
GDQ posts budget breakdowns every event on the speed demos forums.
It's about a $250k budget, with about 20 staff who get salaries totalling about $170k, the rest going to transportation, venue, internet, etc.

That's budget, so maximum amount.
The problem is not how GDQ spends the money, rather how PCF (since Mike Uyama apparently signed a contract in 2014 as an employee with PCF) spends the money; they pay a rather high amout of salaries and less than you think actually goes to research. If you're interested in that, there's a rather long reddit post which does a breakdown of PCF's spendings, it's from 2 years ago, so if something changed since then, my apology.

Reddit is Reddit, lol... that link says things like "PCF is in the bottom 30% of charities", whereas if you look at actual charity websites and ratings sources, such as https://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=5435 , you'll see it has 4 out of 4 stars, a 90% rating out of 100%, 75.4% of funds are spent on relevant programs and service (research, education, outreach, etc.), and everything seems to be above board, transparent, and pretty solid overall. PCF is far from a fraudulent charity, although no charity is perfect. I'm quite happy with the way that GDQs and PCF present themselves and are run, overall.

It's the Prevent Cancer Foundation? Yes, it's not solely a cancer cure research charity, that's what the "prevent" stands for.
There is not, and will not be a magic pill to fix cancer, and awareness and early detection are by far the most effective ways of dealing with it while it's still possible.
Their financial statements are also on their website, so you don't need some Redditor breaking it down for you. $2mil goes to salaries in 2016 and 2017, which yes is a lot and always sucks to hear when it comes to charities, but not proportionally out of whack.
most legit cancer charities spend more contributions on awareness for early detection, and rightly so. trying to form a criticism on a charity for so little of their contributions for direct research is misleading at best.

zfg has a 7 minute lead currently over 2nd place and 1st try dampe vs 15th try dampe is only about ~4 minutes. his current record has 7th try dampe too, so there's about 2 minutes of timesave left purely just from that RNG. (2nd place has a 3rd try dampe, so zfg's run is relatively -1 minute from rng)
if he had remembered to save at gohma and had better dampe rng that run could have been a 4:12-4:13
