Seems like the Ars headline is inaccurate. Inman posts in his blog that the money is still with IndieGoGo pending a restraining order to have it transferred.

"Once the money is moved, I still plan on withdrawing $211k in cash and taking a photo to send to Charles Carreon and FunnyJunk, along with the drawing of Funnyjunk's mother."

Yesterday, IndieGoGo filed documents, revealing that

1. the money donated by PayPal was already in Inman's hands.

2. the money donated via credit card was already sent to the charities.

Oddly, Inman's blog isn't as up-to-date as the court filings. Inman's filing is here: https://www.eff.org/sites/default/files/filenode/OatmealOppT...

It could be that Inman was unsure what he could legally say, and didn't want to make things worse. He'll get his 15 minutes and rushing things won't make any difference.

According to Inman's affidavit on PACER, he states "I still plan on sending a photograph of the money along with the satirical comic to FunnyJunk. However, in order to avoid having this lawsuit interfere with my expression and to avoid jeopardizing the funds from the campaign in any way, I withdrew funds from my own personal account and photographed those funds."

And where is that photo?
