Where's the crowdfunding to buy the navigation history of the representatives involved in the approval of the law?

Who incited and funded this? Where's that story?

I find it more interesting that they are crowdfunding unravelling the alleged crowdfunding scam.

Citations needed for the funding. Sounds like people being loose with the truth. The accounting alone would be close to impossible to keep separate.

This looks like a crowd funding thing. Anyone know the people running it? Are they reputable or might they pocket all the money and disappear?

This is a "raised money" post. So presumably they raised money so they can have a database answer in the future.

Wait, who's funding this? Doesn't mention his name.

epi0Bauqu | karma 13292 | avg karma 5.93 · | 2007-09-04 17:28:29+00:00

Does anyone know who they funded in this manner?

i wonder how they manage to get funding, they are calling for donations, but i am not sure that incoming donations are enough to keep going.

also they got completely outlawed by the Russian regime, so they can't possibly get any advertising from Russian firms.

This sounds too good to be true. Who's funding this project?

It is illegal to publicly declare that you're looking for funding. You should take that down.

I think it's notable that this post doesn't provide any detail about who sponsored or funded this work. Presumably the assumption was the transparency about that would limit the perceived credibility? One could argue that the lack of transparency does so even more

Where can we fund more information about this?

I wonder if FLNKS is able to provide a detailed record of where their funding is coming from.

It's funded by the financial firm Bloomberg L.P.

Much (all?) of this work is being funded by MAPS (www.maps.org), which is a non-profit organization that relies on donations for its continued existence. If this research and advocacy is important to you, please consider donating.

Not only does it exist but they recently closed another round of funding: https://blog.meilisearch.com/meilisearch-raised-5meu-seed-fu...

The article _does_ say that the guy is planning on examining the funding on the other side of the movement, so we should get to see the pie chart for the other side eventually.

Wait, really?

What happened to the money? Is it not contingent on delivery of the completed product? Or was it intentionally badly written in order just to funnel money/pork to big donors?

Can you provide some citations? I'm not finding anything with a quick search.
