The source confirms that Eliezer Yudkowsky was a founder of MIRI in 2000, but it lists him as one of three co-founders (along with Brian and Sabine Atkins), not as the sole founder. The claim states 'Founded By = Eliezer Yudkowsky' without acknowledging the other co-founders, which is a partial rather than complete representation of the founding information provided in the source.
