Press Statement
To our generous members and all spectators who hope for a better Internet,
Four days ago, a crowdfunding page for ongoing and future litigation was opened at <lolcowfund.hardin.law>, with the ambitious goal of raising $75,000.
We met this amount within 24 hours and have since reached $150,000.
The week before, our community was maligned and defamed by baseless accusations of morally repugnant and criminal behavior, spread by high profile members of the tech community and re-published nationwide. These statements were made to excuse prior unprofessional behavior, and as an attempt to further isolate us from the services of reputable for-profit and
nonprofit organizations moving forward.
In the time since collecting this money, all parties preemptively retracted their statements, and one has publicly admitted that their claims do not reflect their beliefs. It is my hope that they will be reasonable in pre-litigation and settle the
matter as efficiently as possible.
This crowdfund, only made possible due to the protective laws around IOLTAs, demonstrates that if all legal websites could process payments without bank-level censorship, the Internet would be a more accessible, diverse, and
free space. The Office of the Comptroller of Currency should unpause the Fair
Access Rule and allow the free market to decide what the Internet should be.
I am overwhelmed with gratitude for this outpouring of support. Thousands of
people have made it clear that as long as I intend to continue forward, they will support me even against seemingly insurmountable odds.
Sincerely,
Joshua Moon
