Maybe someone can clarify, the Ars article doesn't mention this, but wasn't there another effort to fundraise for him and help him out? I thought there was a similar attempt a few months ago, but I can't seem to find any info on it.

Maybe I'm mistaken, either way, it is good to see people coming to his aid.

Yes, there was. I searched HN and found https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1993898 from 4 years ago, titled "John Draper Donation Drive Verified". More details at http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackhat-seo/blackhat-lounge/26... . It's also mentioned fleetingly in http://www.webcrunchers.com/friends-of-crunch/ .

That was back in 2009 when I had a previous surgery.
