Is the money being foreign necessarily an inditement of the crowd funding campaign? The money came from 93,000 donations according to the article. Really that just says that it had global traction.
The money coming in from all over, going to unknown persons, not being distributed to protestors who requested funding for gas/food/legal fees associated with the protest, the $1m withdrawal earlier with no (publically, at least) known trail... all that together is kind of a problem for anyone involved.
