The bitcoin community is collecting donations for the man who was falsely accused of being the creator. He's an innocent old man whose life was turned upside down by greedy and careless journalism. Turns out he has health issues, so the community are collecting donations to say "sorry for the trouble" and help him out.

1200 people have donated 31 BTC so far, that's about $20,000 USD... In 8 hours.. 3 weeks left!

Donations are ranging from $0.50 to $100.. since there are no fees, because there is no middle man, it is easy and cheap to donate what you can afford. If someone were to 'run away with the money' or pay it to their church or something else that charities often to, it would be easily noticed and investigated.
