    I've unfollowed Pineapple Fund on Twitter and deleted my thank you tweet. Can write something new if it turns out that it's real. Ben has emailed the Pineapple Fund to ask about the Twitter account.

    Note: on the pineapplefund website, when you click on the OMF logo it does say $3m donated so far, $2m remaining, so that suggests they have broken the total amount into several transactions.

    This is good because if it's Groupcard, it doesn't require registration, so there's no barrier for brainfogged PWME who would like to thank Pine.

    Note also that it looks as though the tweet about the additional $1m was fake.

    The fake spam account is still active and the real intention becomes clear (to trick people into sending bitcoin):
    People from the ME community are still following this fake account.

    Please spread the word. A lot of people are still following and the fake account is asking for ca. 700 Dollar from everybody (I guess pwME are the wrong target to get money though :)).

    5 donations have now been made.
