    No, I mean he could raise way more than his defense will cost. He’s kind of one of the mythic figures of the resistance.

    When the early revolution is recorded to history, we’ll remember such luminaries as the Portland Frog, Polka Dot Lady, and Sandwich Guy.

      He probably could. IDK what people would do with the extra in that case, but even if they kept it I wouldn’t call it a grift. A grift is basically synonymous with scam. It requires being deceptive of either the purpose of collecting money or in the goods/service being provided.
