I'd love to hear how that would be manageable. Knowing the payment methods you got with Patreon. You supported any creator at Patreon before at all? Or even know what it takes to do actual money launder?
Oh, and humanity is flawed.
Hate to tell you, but every system can be rigged, if you put enough brain power/resources into it. But that is beside the point, since gumdrop´s patreon presence exhibits many charactristics of a front, no matter for what, as has been told by many users.
He get´s a lot of money for practically near nothing (couple of pics in years) back, lots of proven lies and simply unprofessional behaviour (two rather optional animations the reason for an unlimited delay, really? Even if true, which is near zero probability, that would be clashing with his skill at marketing) and more, the oszillation of patron numbers is less than standard. Far less than expected considering his behaviour and output.
Hell, there are internationally known undertakings with sterling reputation with more fluctuation in patron numbers. Yes, there are the truly dedicated fans, but gumdrop has so many unwavering ones compared to developers who are far more productive, nicer and reliable than gummy ever will be, that it stretches credibility.
But I should not have to tell you all this, sicne you are a chummer or an alias of gumdrop. You might deny it, but the hints e.g. posting history and topics into that direction speak louder.
It would be like me stating "I hate chocolate". Anybody only slightly aquainted with me would scoff at such a statement and rightly so. Luckily I have the genetics to stay thin even with my considerable chocolate consumation and that I gift rare chocolates to other persons are strong hints that any statement of hating chocolate cannot be true.
Now we look at your "unrelated bystander" posting history in this thread and wonder...
Yes, humanity is flawed, especially when we look at the masses of political limp dicks filling out the majority of our western parliaments today due to few alternatives available (unfortunately politicians like Disraeli, Lincoln, Erlander or Bismarck, even Kohl, Kinkel, G.H.W. Bush or Mitterand do not grow on trees), but that does not fly here in this case.
It is near the far end of the probability curve, that a lazy liar like gumdrop could gather a core of roughly a thousand absolutely gulllible sheeps, incite them to give him money for nothing for nearly two years now and has no rebellion on hand. While there will be some holdouts hoping that they will get something back for their money (which is their right), I doubt it they are so numerous to fill out a regiment!
And even they will be fed up, only holding out to see some value return with an update.
But ca. 1000 people just handing out money without a thought to a person who does few things to hide the disdain he has for his followers is hard to swallow. And when you look at enterprises with solid reputation having difficulties for partly little things in comparison it becomes even more of a stretch. Suspension of disbelief only goes so far.
