Effective altruists care. I'm not even into EA myself but I can see that it's important to know where the money goes and how effectively it's used.

On a more cynical note, I'd say this looks utopian. Here's some less optimistic articles.

I don't understand why EAs would care about his motives, provided his money was spent with maximum possible utility. Or, even if SOME of it was spent with maximum possible utility.
