Default Caterham F1 Team reduced to crowd funding

Did anyone see the post about Caterham trying to raise something like $2.5M through crowd funding in order to be able to race at Dubai?!
I'm in for 50 cents.......

Both Bernie and Christian Horner have criticized the effort. There are the last two guys who should be criticizing - Horner with his Red Bull sugar daddy and why-should-we-have-a-budget-cap-stance and Bernie's I'm in for a cut of whatever happens mentality
