I was wondering as that region is notoriously unstable and dangerous for many NGOs to try and intervene in, and much of the money that goes into those countries disappears. | ||

He has no access to the money, he is simply raising awareness. So yeah, he get's some respect for this, I just wish he wont use the good publicity from this to make another scam. | ||

Gonna be watching Vodka for old times sake He's in character but plenty of his fanboys actually believe that he's legit. Hell, when he had Kiwikaki power an "Athenewins" SC2 account, he insisted multiple times that it was actually him, and at least once even said that it wasn't Kiwikaki. He directly addresses the accusations that are true, and then his fanboys are like "omg Athenes actually has the innate talent to go 80-2 in SC2 without any prior knowledge of the game whatsoever". Using his popularity to raise money is incredibly awesome of him, but I think his little act is deceitful. So I'll compartmentalize him in two parts - his awful act and his great actions. | ||

He probably mentioned it in one of those videos, but I seem to have missed it. I was wondering as that region is notoriously unstable and dangerous for many NGOs to try and intervene in, and much of the money that goes into those countries disappears. Athene doesn't get the money, it goes as a donation straight to 'Save the children', which is an internationally recognized NGO with a good reputation, which when last audited was found to use 93% of total donations for actual program costs, with about 7% overhead spending (which is excellent for an NGO). That said, there is no guarantee the money will actually go to the Horn of Africa, because individual donations do not get tracked by NGO's. It might go to the Horn of Africa, it might go to another poverty stricken area. | ||
