I'm surprised that no one has mentioned this, but please be aware that a lot of that money could be taken back due to chargebacks over the next 90-180 days. If anything was donated with a stolen credit card, without authorization, etc - cardholders can call in and reverse the charges. Then you're out the money for the donations.
I have worked in merchant fraud (on the anti-fraud side) and am happy to answer any questions about this. I would consider waiting a few months before making the donations, just to make sure you actually get to keep money you received.
Have you considered this?

This one is for John Green and/or Dr. Mitnick:
If you could make one concrete policy change to prevent pharmasceutical companies from abusing patent law to extend their monopolies (e.g., patent evergreening via weak secondary patents on Bedaquiline), what would it be? Do you think modified version of patent monopolies are important to incentivize medical innovation - or would you like to get rid of patents on life-saving drugs entirely (at least to the extent they impact developing countries)?
Thank you.
