Update:
Woodshed Agency has responded. They claim that the Upstart campaign was about to fail, so D-Cal and his crew posted fake pledges to push it to success. In other words, they say the funds weren't stolen, but never existed to begin with. An interesting read and interesting twist. I'm not sure what to make of the situation.
