I know someone around here that is basically doing the same thing. I called them yesterday to kind of warn them and they told me that they were making about $5k/week from the "donations". I told them to put about half of that away for their legal fund
The people I know are really doing worse than spanking and bondage but, I felt like I was just talking to myself when I warned them what could happen. To top it off, their donation website is on tripod.
