i hope this sudden rush of payments doesn't clog up the tubes in their internets.

I just received the following e-mail from the CEO of Children, Inc. In response I sent her this thread and suggested that they bundle the money and use it for an interesting project. (No, not for staking and poker lessons for underprivileged children.)

Dear Barry,

Much to our surprise and utter delight, we have received a great number of contributions which we are attributing to your endeavors and encouragement on our behalf! I have been trying to catch you on the poker channel and have enjoyed seeing you interact more with the players. The interaction is more in the High Stakes Poker Games than the tournaments and I enjoy your comments as do the participating players. You raised their eyebrows when you commented on the set being the same and surprised them when you added that the girls were different.

We estimate we have already received over 200 contributions ranging from $20 to $1500 each and more coming in as I write this.

Your message reached Canada, Sweden and Australia. This is incredible!

Can you tell me how this all came about? What does 2+2 Forum, 2+2 BBV Forum and LOL Donkaments stand for?

Whatever you did, we cannot thank you enough!!! Looking forward to your reply.

Marian

Wait wait.... $20 to $1500 means $2k was not legit?

That's only the ones they processed so far. They've got a lot to process.

The more I watch this and the more I read this thread, the more awesome this is. BBV rules.

Brag: Donated $25
Beat: It's pending.
Variance: I'm good for it, this month.

Outstanding work, all around. A gambler's word is a gambler's word...

Good call... because someone verified it was legit, so that would have been weird.

It's nice to be part of this.

So StreetMagicBlog's tiny number of posts and generally classless behavior made me question his rather large donation. The screenshot he posted of his $2400 donation is really small, and that may be on purpose, to hide what looks like some shoddy photoshoppery.

If you check out Mikey Obviously's $50 donation screenshot, you'll see that it's the same layout as SMB's - you can lay the two over eachother and they fit seamlessly. Just a bigger black blob over the "Your Account" section. Suspicious.

And for some reason, SMB's dollar amounts appear to be in a different font than the rest of the text. Zoom in, and you'll see that most of the text is very grayish, while the dollar amount has splashes of pink and turquoise - this looks like it could be due to adding RGB text to a grayscale file.

I have no idea why anyone would stoop so low as to fabricate a donation to needy children, and I hope I'm wrong about this. But I don't think we can count SMB's donation towards the tally until he provides further proof.
