Why are they pointing out that it is a fiat donation?

To distance themselves from shady cryptocurrency rumors?

Or maybe they got paid in actual Fiats.

For what it's worth, the spambot traffic related to this seems to have
subsided on my network. Mind you, we had measures in place prior to
the attack to prevent that kinda thing, and all that happened is that
a bunch of connect/disconnect notices showed up in opers' status
buffers if they had such notices enabled. Spam never made it to any
channels.
