A quick lookup on the GNOME Foundation (not GNOME's) supposed upcoming 
bankruptcy. And exchange from two posters on Reddit...

   Who started this fake news saying that GNOME would "go bankrupt"? I'm 
   really curious. We're talking about a non-profit organization.

     Lunduke. It's always f-ing Lunduke.

     Hope someone sues his ass one day for this type of shit.

I'm guessing that the Lunduke moron was your "source" (so to speak).
