In all honestly I think Jeremy S. has enough links already, and he really doesn't have a reason to bullshit about this. He has said on his radio show that the disclaimer on his site is for products he mentions, letting you know ahead of time he is probably getting a cut from anything he mentions. This particular story may or may not be true, I'm just saying he doesn't need the links.
I agree with JE on this one, DMOZ is corrupt (read: certain individual editors) and you are sleeping if you don't know it (or you just don't admit it publicly). Most people get into DMOZ the old fashioned way, but the shady stuff still goes on to some extent.
To answer Randy's question about the ridicolous price, it's simple. It's easier for a shady broke DMOZ editor to get 5k from one millionaire then 50 bucks from 100 different webmasters and almost surely lose his position. Obviously nobody would pay for it, but it wouldn't be the first dumb idea for a quick buck in the history of mankind.
