The DAO close to $100m in funding. Soon to be the largest crowdfunding ever

Thanks for the explanation. Sounds like a Ponzi scheme to me. Is there any independent site that verifies how much funding they've already got?

Yes, there are several independent sites where you can find all the information needed to verify. Here you can check how much Ether (ETH) was raised on two different block explorers (both not affiliated with the DAO): http://etherscan.io/address/0xbb9bc244d798123fde783fcc1c72d3... https://etherchain.org/account/0xbb9bc244d798123fde783fcc1c7...

..and to convert that to USD or whatever you can even use https://duckduckgo.com/?q=1+ETH+in+USD&ia=cryptocurrency or check the price directly at one of the exchanges that trades ETH/USD, like https://www.kraken.com/charts.

For what it's worth, street's response was in the form of a joke, I wouldn't read too much into the deletion.
