I promised people a financial accounting, so I'm posting it here as well.</p>
<h3>February 4 update</h3>
<p>I have now received all related bills and can report final numbers for
<a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/stop-stack-overflow-from-defaming-its-users">the GoFundMe campaign</a>.</p>
<p>GoFundMe takes a fee of 2.9% + 30 cents per transaction, as described in
<a href="https://www.gofundme.com/c/blog/gofundme-fees">their help</a>.</p>
<p>Income</p>
<table>
<tr><td>GoFundMe, less fees</td><td align="right">24,450.14</td></tr>
<tr><td>Outside donations</td><td align="right">229.03</td><tr>
<tr><td>TOTAL</td><td align="right"><b>24,679.17</b></td></tr>
</table>
<p>Expenses</p>
<table>
<tr><td>Donation refund (misunderstanding with one donor)</td>
<td align="right">100.00</td></tr>
<tr><td>Legal services</td><td align="right">16,582.50</td></tr>
<tr><td>TOTAL</td><td align="right"><b>16,682.50</b></td></tr>
</table>
<p>The difference, <b>$7,996.67</b>, will be donated to The Trevor Project.
When I receive a receipt I'll post it here.</p>
<h3>February 13 update</h3>
<p>The Trevor Project has not yet processed the check I sent last week, but they have confirmed that they will send me a publishable receipt when they do, which I expect to be soon. I will post that at https://www.cellio.org/stack-gofundme.html. If you want me to notify you when that happens, email me at after-stack@cellio.org.</p>
<p>Thank you everybody for your support!</p>
