Another PSA/Lesson to be learned: don't ever donate to someone claiming to make a VOCALOID kickstarter that's not being run through Kickstarter. The fact they mentioned "GoFundMe" and had a page set up was enough to raise flags, since there is no refund to those who give if all else fails.

The person running the page could've very well pulled a "took your money and ran" move with no problems. This would've lead to a catastrophic situation had it not been for the fact this fandom is constantly fresh from recent drama/disappointments, not to forget people also being in-the-know about this stuff and not afraid to point out what seemed shady about the whole thing.
