Would it be too late to order 3 ozs using a bank debit card?? It's close to the 30th but shipping is 3 days max. I don't need any attention my way. But people are still ordering like mad right so I'm just another fish in the sea.

People do know like if they were to get busted with a kilo they would get a long sentence right? I would be doing the opposite of stocking up right now.

Anyone know some figures on donation amount or hear about that?

Nevermind. I did a little research and found this info on reddit
r/kratom AKA Strategy & Financials - Please donate! u/mikedamike33m Hi r/kratom, please find the official AKA strategy guide behind this link.
As for the financials, here is an update from the AKA:
'As promised here is a look at our financials. We have a LONG way to go in such a very short amount of time:
08-30-16 before the DEA announcement - $36,117 09-19-16 (today) our balance is $116,364 but we have $27,500 going out to a few of our consultants today. We didn't have to pay the law firm a retainer and that's going to hit us hard. Also, we owe $25,000 to PR firm.
So AKA raised $80,247 since the DEA announced its plans. But with our payments to consultants (who need to be paid MONTHLY), this leaves us with only $52,474, or about $27,000 after we pay the PR team

Somebody just anonymously donated 100k to the aka. I'm really hoping to be able to order another 700 grams at least before the 30th.
For the 1000th fucking time i can't believe this is really happening. I keep expecting to wake the fuck up and all these threads and posts were a delusional mindfuck of a terrifying fever dream. But sadly it just doesn't happen.

I feel you man, its incredibly tragic... I imagine this is somewhat what it was like when cannabis was scheduled. That was much more popular though of course.

I came here to post that. Apparently it was a vendor who wished to stay anonymous who made the 100k donation.

That already seems like a pretty decent list to me but every addition will make it that much bigger. Good work so far everyone.
