I'm surprised the IRS doesn't get involved in sites like these. My best guess would be that he's not paying taxes ... and over $600, you have to. If he is, and he's contributing to society at least, and not trying to live off of welfare or other benefits while he's out there "begging" for money, then I guess I don't see too much harm in it. I'd be too ashamed to see my company name in that list though. Would never happen.
