Considering anyone in the position to be able to have access to donator money has without a doubt put endless hours into working for the emulator, I personally don't have a problem with this. Any small amount of cash they might be able to pocket would be nothing compared to what the going rate is for a developer position in a real job.
My understanding was that these forums and website were paid for by Rogean, so if he got donations, then as long as the website remains up I don't see why there should be any conflict here.
Last, I don't think it is a good idea to let rumors spread without any real proof. I suggest that everyone ignore that until some proof of any accusations are shown. Even then, I don't think any presumptions should be made until the full picture is seen/heard. The last thing this community needs right now is more drama. Innocent until proven guilty IMO.
I really hate to see people burn bridges and blow things out of proportions. There is always a chance that it will be regretted later. I understand that the admins and devs have worked hard and long to get those titles, and I think they deserve for us all to reserve jumping to any conclusions until there is a good reason.
