This campaign exists for one reason: to get money to the parents of OpenAI whistleblower Suchir Balaji — who spent themselves into debt trying to get the truth about how their son died. Every dollar of profit from the store — every cent left after the printer and the card processor are paid — goes to his mother's own verified GoFundMe. The operator of this site keeps $0. Below is exactly how that works, and the receipts to prove it.
The cleanest dollar is the one that never passes through anyone else's hands. If you just want to help the family, skip the merch and donate straight to their own fund. The store is for people who also want to wear the message — and its profit lands in the exact same place.
“Justice for Suchir Balaji,” organized by his mother Poornima Ramarao, funds the independent investigation into his death — digital forensics, an independent autopsy, witness interviews, and legal costs. Your money goes to the family, not to us. It's protected by GoFundMe's Giving Guarantee, and every donation is listed publicly on the campaign page.
Give on GoFundMe →Wear the argument and fund the family at the same time. We price each item just above what the printer and the payment processor charge. Every dollar of that margin is donated into the same GoFundMe above — in our name, on the public donor list — and logged in the ledger on this page after each payout.
Wear it, fund them →Most “proceeds go to charity” promises are a slogan with no proof behind them. This one is built to be checked. Here is the whole path a dollar takes.
You pay the retail price at checkout. The print-on-demand provider makes the product to order — there's no inventory and no markup hidden in a warehouse.
The printer's production cost and the card processor's fee are deducted. Those are the only deductions. We add no salary, no “admin fee,” no cut for ourselves.
What's left — the profit — is donated into the family's GoFundMe under this campaign's name, so it appears on the public donor list anyone can scroll.
Each donation is added to the public ledger below, with the amount and a link to the GoFundMe record. You never have to take our word for it.
Vague words like “proceeds” or “profits” are how shady fundraisers hide the ball — consumer-protection regulators and the BBB's giving standards both warn against exactly that language. So here is the literal math on a representative item, with nothing left implied.
Exact numbers vary by product and order (international cards cost a little more, sale prices a little less), so the ledger below records the real figures from each payout rather than these estimates. The rule never changes: after the printer and the processor, everything goes to the family and nothing stays here.
This is the proof. As the store earns and we donate, each transfer is logged here with the amount and a link to the GoFundMe record. Nothing to hide, nothing to take on faith.
| Date | Period / drop | Units | Gross revenue | Printing + fees | Donated to family | Receipt |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Status as of June 30, 2026: the store is live. The first ledger row will appear after the first Fourthwall payout clears and the matching GoFundMe donation is posted — with the real revenue, the real costs, and a link to the GoFundMe donation record. Until then, the most direct way to help is the family's GoFundMe. | ||||||
// Store live; first payout update pending. Each update will show total raised by the store → total donated → remaining held. The target never moves — $0 held by the next payout cycle. Every line links to a verifiable GoFundMe donation receipt.
You should be skeptical of anyone collecting money in a dead man's name — the internet is full of people who aren't honest about it. So here is why this one holds up.
We donate into the GoFundMe organized by Suchir's mother — we don't run our own pool that you have to trust us to forward. The destination is hers, not ours.
GoFundMe lists donors and amounts on the campaign page. Our store donations show up on that same public list, so the ledger here can be cross-checked against GoFundMe itself.
The family's campaign is covered by GoFundMe's donor protection. That's a layer of accountability we don't control and can't fake.
The National Whistleblower Center's profile of Poornima Ramarao links the same GoFundMe, confirming it's the genuine family fundraiser — not an impostor page. See it →
No vague “proceeds.” We list printing and processing as the only deductions and keep $0 — the standard honest cause-marketing is supposed to meet.
If you'd rather no middleman touch a cent, give straight to the GoFundMe. We'd genuinely rather you do that than not give at all.
When a story gets attention, scammers move in fast — especially with crypto. Protect your money and the family's name.
Whether you buy a shirt or give a dollar directly, it ends up in the same place: with the people trying to find out what really happened to Suchir Balaji.
