So to me that sounds like you were free to deploy the money where you believed it was effective - e.g. here to smooth out donation structure for your contributors. And so the outcomes are on you as the project leader if there was truly no one else to dictate where you deploy money you receive. I'm not saying it's not hard to make a working project.

not sure what you mean. odell keeps saying that i personally benefited from these grants as a gotcha, but he has no idea that i put most of it back into all the really good people they refused to fund. It’s his only “gotcha” to try to distract people from all of his conflict of interests
So the quoted statement from ODELL is reasonably correct (references Damus, says "received"), but your issue is that this correct statement masks his conflicts of interest. Your reaction to that is to mock the correct statement that damus received close to a million, rephrase it about you and repost that to your followers. So what I mean specifically here is that I'm just surprised you make such emotional reactions and comms mistakes that are not anchored in actual problems. ODELL may be very shitty and in conflict of interest, etc, but your statements here have not shown that.
