The main issue here is that it appears that a YC company was claiming to be a hobbyist developer that solicited (and received) donations.

They haven't responded, so it could all be a misunderstanding. However, it doesn't look good.

They actually have responded[1], and it seems like they pretty much put their foot in their mouth, based on the highlighted reply.
