The sad reality is some people prioritize real work and some prioritize hustling and money and do minimum work needed to keep getting money.
I don't know if this is that case, but company's mission is to support Godot ecosystem and if lead maintainer raises millions USD for this and then a few months later says there's no money... it's reasonable to think he pockets it. If he sets the company up so that it's impossible to tell if he pockets it... Another red flag.
If so that would be sus enough that project reputation would be done in my eyes.
