Fans raise cash to help phone phreaker John Draper, aka Cap‘n Crunch

For those interested he&#x27;s currently doing an AMA on reddit.<p><a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/2hpje1/im_the_person_who_showed_steve_jobs_the_blue_box/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;IAmA&#x2F;comments&#x2F;2hpje1&#x2F;im_the_person_w...</a>

&quot; Draper himself doesn&#x27;t even know who started the fundraiser, but the money is intended to help with his medical bills&quot;<p>If he doesn&#x27;t know who started it, how do we know the money will actually get to him?

So glad we got that healthcare problem all buttoned up in America over the past six years.<p>Would anyone have to have a fundraiser in any other &quot;1st world&quot; country for medical problems?<p>But hey let&#x27;s go spend billions on more wars, bomb the billions in equipment we bought for Iraq and then buy more equipment to replace it for Iraq.<p>ps. it is funny how people forget Steve Jobs started out committing felonies without ever getting prosecuted<p>pps. apparently what he really needs is a fundraiser to publish a book he has been working on, including a chapter on Woz

I hope he is considering Fecal Transplant for his C.Diff infection.

He joined my Cards Against Humanity game in Burger King a couple years ago at Defcon. Definitely an interesting guy... He had lots of stories and was pretty open about everything.

The qikfunder project was previously in the top five on then HN front page but even though it was well voted, got buried after an hour or so.<p>Not sure why, but glad the Ars page is now on.

Maybe someone can clarify, the Ars article doesn&#x27;t mention this, but wasn&#x27;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&#x27;t seem to find any info on it.<p>Maybe I&#x27;m mistaken, either way, it is good to see people coming to his aid.
