Excuse me butttt'

Your image is a little bit shall we say suspect. His goal was a measly $10 and link shows currently he only has $15,853 and its hitting Cnet and CNN which means it could go to you number - where did you get such a number as 44,845? Closes on Aug4,2014 so dammmmmmmmn wait until Matt Miller sees this.

Dank ya I will give ya credit when I re-post it - you want to do it on MC? I am taking this to where Matt hangs out - He tried for $5000 and got a bit over $1100 or so in 45 days

Potato salad in 5 days is almost $16,000 at moment and he only wanted $10 LOLOLOLOL

But didn't you say matt was paying into his own donations to make it look like people were donating when they really weren't?

Matt used indiegogo which is very different VERY Different then Kickstarter. With Kickstarter the campaigner sets a goal and donations are made BUT no cash flows from donations pockets - NO credit card charge UNLESS the goal is met. And one can see who made the donation and for how much. Of course at the end Kick takes its cut.
So yes one could on Kickstarter seed the campaign by self and many do put something in to start it off - but of course they no pay if no goal is made and they get back their seed money after the goal but with that overhead Cut!

indiegogo you set a goal and it does not matter if you don't make the goal as Matt didn't - And one and I have looked can see how people hide wot they donated as PRIVATE nor can one tell in detail who gave wot. Matt with his photo only put in $5 but at the get go someone seeded it in private - So no I cannot say for sure how much Matt seeded his own Con/Scam scheme - I do enjoy pointing out that with two honest weeks work and my new found In & Out hamburger joint - They pay $10.50/hr for a new hire no experience or Finish high school and in 21 days of honest work They make more then Matt did with scam in 45 days

Close to wot OP said when he made the topic AND AND AND I owe him an apology - I said his image was suspect and it was but not NOT his fault. Bet when he went looking for it and could not find it again - which is wot many found re numbers that made no sense - Kickstarter made comments to reporters who asked and they had a very strange reply.

People by the way are pulling out money they said they wood donate as in cancelling so I have seen the number go even higher then now posting then drop back down. Keeping my massive hard earned $5 in.
