> why a fellow nerd suspects we're up to no good You're taking money on peoples' behalf without their knowledge or permission. What the fuck more is there to understand? Here's the bright ethical line: don't accept any money unless you can be assured that you can provide it to the beneficiary. At least failing that, make it abundantly clear to donators that there's no reason whatsoever to expect the funds to actually go to the recipient. The moral hazard is blindingly obvious: the worse you are at getting funds to where they should go, the more money you make. This is going viral and it's time to talk to your lawyer about your personal liability in this clusterfuck.
