I thought this was peculiar for two reasons:
* While we all know and love Emmet, I am surprised it's still getting money to this day. Its website is stuck firmly in the Web 2.0 era.
* Most of its sponsors are casinos and other gambling websites, and in the real world it's usually an indicator of possible money laundering.
* All donations are exactly $150, every time.
Anyone know what's going on here? Seems like to me someone is laundering money through OpenCollective...
