The dev fund should be used to help people fighting for the same cause as ours, even if they are competitors. It doesn’t have to be millions, but a fair gesture. Much better spending than advertising and actually achieves just as good PR imho.

Neat idea, but couldn’t this type of donation cause issues with the nation states who caused this issue to begin with? Why not donate privately if you feel strongly? It’s not PR if its private, but perhaps that’s the trade off.

#1 Define issues. For the most part, the nation states involved here are under the rule of law. Would we be breaking any law by donating to the legal team of Alexey Pertsev? No.
#2 In trying to be the friend of all, you are mostly risking to be the friend of nobody. At times, we will upset some people. We have to carefully consider whether it is a wise move each time. In this case, I do not mind at all upsetting people wanting Alexey Pertsev in jail.
Indeed, why not! I do donate as much as I can afford privately.
