Ok, everyone else has been speculating so I can too.

A quarter is three months. Three months = ~13 weeks. In this past week, we've raised 1.2 Million ONLINE, not counting any private fundraisers/the family walk/mail-in donations.

So out of 13 weeks total this quarter, that 1.2 Million accounts for 1 week. That leaves 12 weeks unaccounted for. 12 weeks = 84 days. If Paul raised an AVERAGE of $39,000 a day, that's 39,000 x 84 days = 3.3 Million. Add the 1.2 Million to that 3.3 Mil, and you get ~$4,500,000

$39,000/day is a reasonable estimate, because it is an average. Yes, many days Paul probably only got $30,000 or even $20,000. But we've had the Meetup competition, quite a few private fundraisers, a few public fundraisers, the Fill the Quill promotion, etc. I know Paul reported $100,000 from ONE event, and the fundraising promotions thruout the quarter probably raised the average a lot. So an average of 39k a day is reasonable.

Therefore, my conclusion is that Paul raised $4,500,000 this quarter.

Dont make threads with misleading titles. From reading the title, one would think its a fact, not a guess.

Agreed - I changed it, added the "??"
