That's it??
- The article is from yesterday, and slightly updated.
  
  It looks like it's now up to $83k
  
  For how hard fundraising for Luigi has been suppressed, I'm shocked it even got this far at all.
  
  I feel like it could be at $100M overnight with the right advertising..
  
  The trial hasn't even been scheduled as far as I'm aware. By the time it rolls around that fund is going to be much bigger.
- I never heard of that place before and I hope a lot of people were not too knee-jerk about it. It wasn't like, "official" in any sense that I could see.
