This Ebola outbreak has racked up over 1,600 infections and killed more than 700 people.  African people.  Two white Americans contracted the disease, and after more than a week of deterioration, a dose of a miracle drug caused improvements within the hour.

This headline from the Onion feels oddly on point now doesn’t it?

You think you know where I’m going with this, but just hold tight.

I CANT T BELIEV

THEYRE MAKING A KICKSTARTER

WHO THE FUCK IS GOING TO FUDN THIS

ALSO THEYRE USING THE FLEXIBLE FUNDING PROGRAM WHICH IS A BIG NONO

USUSALLY KICKSTARTERS HAVE A SET GOAL, IN THIS CASE 17 000$ AND IF THEY DONT REACH THIS GOAL AND ARENT ABLE TO FUND THE EVENT,THEN ALL THE MONEY WOULD BE RETURNED TO THE BACKERS WHO MADE A PLEDGE

BUT WITH FLEXFUNDING, THEY GET TO KEEP HOWEVER MUCH THEY MAKE, NO MATTER HOW MUCH IT IS

SO LETS SAY THAT THEY MIRACULOUSLY REACH ABOUT 15 000$

THEY COULD EASILY SAY ‘WELL ITS NOT 17 000$ SO WE DONT HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO FUND DASHCON, SO IT’S OFF’

BUT THEY STILL GET TO KEEP THAT MONEY AND DO WHATEVER THEYD LIKE WITH IT

I repeat, THIS IS NOT US.

To quote the OP, DO NOT FUND THIS.

Running a funding campaign is not something we’re currently doing, nor do we intend to in the future. We don’t know who is responsible for that Indiegogo campaign, but we will be contacting them today in regards to the fraudulent nature of such a campaign, as it’s not connected to the advertised event in any way.

Furthermore, we have not disappeared. We’re simply taking the time to clean up the significant damage done a few weeks ago. There are a lot of changes being made, but those take time. In fact, this process is far more time consuming that any of our projected timelines would accommodate. However, these are things that must get done. So, we ask once again, please bear with us while we, the remaining staff, do what we can to fix an otherwise dismal situation.

That said, this sort of blatant fraud needed to be addressed and be addressed immediately. Apologies if anyone believed, even briefly, that this was connected to us in any way. Once again, THIS IS NOT US. DO NOT FUND THIS.

Please signal boost so no one falls victim to this scam.

Dashcon efforts are being pulled together to design an even bigger, better paper bag for you to put your money into in 2015:
