Sep 17: FA admins start banning more cub content, even SFW users are getting banned. This is causing distrust among many users. It seems like this is a targeted purge as content rules have not changed. Section 4.1 of the TOS is not being followed, users are banned without warning. Some users think this is about marketability, others think its just a group of bad admins. The recent bans have made users frustrated. There is no transparency.

How the 228k gofundme was spent?
So far, $40,000 to Sean Piche's (Dragoneer) mother Rita Piche.
$5,200 for Lawyer fees
$11,200 for Afterlife affairs
$19,350 for Furaffinity Costs.
Remaining (not counting gofundme's fee):
$152,350 (will probably go to Dragoneer's MASSIVE personal debt)
It is revealed Dragoneer has massive debt. The 228k doesn't even cover all of it.
Fur Affinity related debts (in the business’s name)
- PayPal working capital loan: $32,066.47
- Business credit line - $13,477.93
- Balance due to IMVU for FA’s buyback - $83,800**
Total: $129,344.40
**We cannot apologize enough for this drastic change in amount. We originally listed the remaining IMVU debt as $17,000 after confirming it twice with our IMVU representative. After further investigation we learned the amount left is $83,800. While this was not an error on our end, it’s a shocking update nonetheless. IMVU is still willing to work out payments with us and have no interest in putting site ownership at risk. IMVU is equally in shock by Dragoneer’s passing and wants to do all they can to support us and help this go smoothly.

- IRS 2022: $6,114.05

Dragoneer and Furaffinity Official Twitter is breeched. A hacker has taken advantage of Dragoneer's passing and contacted FA's host provider using a social engineering attack.
They were able to change FA's DNS via a CNAME to redirect the site to various other sites. One of them was a Washington Post article about a furry being arrested for being pedophile, the other Kiwifarm's Animal Control forum.
Dragoneer passes away leaving the site with $221k in debt. A gofund me is raised and the goal is met. The goal was initially $75k but again was raised to 221k after revealing much more debt was discovered.
