Did SoundMonkey and Noni Indirectly Scam Goons out of $14,000

I don't know if anyone here follows the Doobie's Dog House thread. The guy has now deleted all his social networking accounts and is no longer pursuing the restaurant. He is keeping $14,000 though. To recap:

- Goons find a kickstarter for a guy in Alabama who wants to make a hot dog restaurant.
- Goons make fun of it
- Some goons, led by SoundMonkey and Noni try to change that and push hard for goons to donate and make it happen
- SoundMonkey takes the lead, talks to the hot dog guy daily. Gives the impression that things are going great and everything is going to happen
- SoundMonkey and Noni probate/ban anyone who argues this
- With the mods help, goons raise $14,000 for this guy on Kickstarter
- Guy turns out to be a moron who had nothing planned and the project leads to a massive failure
- New GBS rules take place and people are free to make fun of this and the people who were into it
- SoundMonkey pretends he was doing all this ironically for laughs and disappears from the thread
- Hot dog guy decides it isn't going to happen and is deleting his profiles online and taking his $14,000 with him

Is there any chance SoundMonkey was a part of this? Maybe taking a small cut from the hot dog guy in return for his help? Reading the old thread, they were in constant contact.

And if not, how the fuck does a mod keep his position after this? He heavily promoted a "charitable" cause that looks like a scam? Not only promoted, but dispensed anyone who questioned it. How can you fuck over people that hard and still keep your job?

He probably panicked on Christmas eve and went out and bought his kids a bunch of Carbon Offset coupons offa some dude at costco.

"No kids, you don't understand. When you're old enough for SA, these are good as golden manbabies!"
Johnny's mother-in-law came to live next door,
She had a tongue that stung like a bee,
She said, "I'll dance on your grave," Johnny said, "That's brave,
'Cause I'm gonna be buried at sea."

I don't get kickstarters at all, even if they fail to get off the ground the people still get to keep your money.  It's the dumbest Gen Y thing existence.

It's kind of like investing venture capital, except instead of all of the pesky "contracts" concerning what kind of returns you're getting for your money, you might get to buy one of their product at higher than retail cost (if they manage to produce a product) or pay $10000 for the privilege of buying an airline ticket and having lunch with them.

I doubt that there was a scheme concocted by the mods.

There have been stories of fully funded Kickstarters where people just up and left.  Kickstarter's response was basically "buyer beware."  The owner most likely lost interest in the idea, realized he could use that $14,000 to get a new ride and some pussy, and took off with the money.

Goons were basically fleeced for $14,000 and there isn't a damn thing they can do about it.

But venture capitalists don't get sweet video game spaceships or limited edition plastic RPG miniatures. :unparsons:

Goons willingly gave money to a retarded, republican southerner? Well I guess at least he's disabled (I'm counting his lack of overall business awareness as retardation for that)
Doobie be king goon. Unemployed, disabled, downtrodden. But he gets free money. This dude is the E/N dream. Also 14k richer for that much less effort.
Hell no, why should there be? I've undergone ego-death (CPTSD), the idea of taking a picture of myself or anything to do with myself makes me nauseous and .. just... no.

The marxists on the forum were absolutely convinced that they were going to save the entire economy of a rural, 2000 resident Alabama town by donating to this Kickstarter. Later, well after the donations, it came out that Doobie posts nigger jokes and likes a white supremacist book on Facebook, utterly shocking every single member of Team Frogout, which is what the goons who donated called themselves.

when they're "the least worst of" they're practically superstars of SA's restricted forums.

the goons are barely even embaressed anymore. If this happened a few years earlier the uproar would have been monumentally worse.

I dont think it was a scam they found a kickstarter to mock a mod chose a "doable" thing the dude got more than enough money for a hot dog cart, decided to DREAM BIG and is a ignorant red neck who realized he just got alittle over a years wages.

dobbie finally gave up, teaching goons, that when the believe in something....it most likely will suck.
