Discussion Tell HN: Emmet, the HTML editing plugin, gets $100k/yr in donations from casinos https://opencollective.com/emmetI 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... 72 points sph 4 years ago 32 comments
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...
