We don't have to know about it. There's nothing stopping any actor from dropping funds into a patreon or liberapay through a series of shell companies and multiple accounts.

Lets just say that the cost-benefit analysis for such actions aren't worth it for either parties and would act as a poison pill for recipients and as a form of blowback for the donor.

I'm telling you this both out of historical precedent and from experience, seeking or accidentally receiving foreign funding of any sort is a bad idea for communists in the imperial core.
