Well, I'm not sure where the money goes, but anyone who donates to him gets a monthly letter "from him" thanking them for their donations. There's a tiiiiiny fine print check box to specify a one time donation in place of a recurring donation.

So each donating supporter times anywhere from $15 to $150 a month. I think some articles estimated $30 million of the donations were on legal spending
